For The extra seat of doors addresses much of the practicality issues of the three-door model yet it remains just as much fun to drive and comfortable into the bargain.

Against It may have rear doors, but that doesn’t alter the fact that the Fiesta doesn’t have quite enough rear leg space to easily accommodate adults.

We are huge fans of the Fiesta for the way it looks, drives and keeps costs to the owner at a very sensible level. Even so, we think it could with more rear legroom.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's an almost bewildering range of engines to choose from in the Fiesta range, but for us the best of the lot is the more powerful 1.25-litre unit. 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, as there will always be good deals to be found. Ford's own website is a good place to start, as here you can find all the latest company offers, such as free equipment and low-rate finance.
