For The standard suspension set-up of the Fiesta is a revelation and provides just the right balance between comfort and sporty agility. Ford should be very proud.
Against In three-door form, the Fiesta is harder work than we’d like to get in and out of the rear seats, and the rear seats are short of adult legroom.
An object lesson in how to make a supermini huge fun to drive without compromising on comfort or economy. If only Ford provided more rear-seat space.
There's an almost bewildering range of engines in the Fiesta range, but for us the best of the lot is the more powerful of the two 1.25-litre units. It's pokey enough and reasonably priced.
Effectively, there are two types of Fiesta – a standard set-up with more compliant suspension and speed-sensitive steering, and the firmer Zetec S, which has consistently weightier steering. Either way, it’s superb, but we'd recommend the standard car.
Whichever model you choose, make sure you shop around, because there will always be good deals to be found. Ford's website is a good place to start: here you can find all the latest company offers, such as free equipment and low-rate finance.
