For With the extra pair of doors coupled to the Econetic’s brilliant economy and low, tax-free emissions, this Fiesta suits all needs and just the green brigade.

Against The high load lip makes filling up the boot more hassle than it should be and adults will find space for their knees somewhat limited in the back seats.

Aside from some minor practicality issues, the Fiesta Econetic is a great machine for those who want to save the planet and save some cash along the way.

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.
