For Ford mixes the ultimate in Fiesta luxury and economy with the Titanium trim and excellent 1.6-litre turbodiesel engine that is capable of 67.2mpg combined economy.
Against You have to dig quite deep into your pockets to afford the Titanium trim, making it quite pricey for a supermini. Rear knee space for adults is not as good as some rivals’.
The Fiesta works a treat as a diesel-powered supermini, delivering great economy, emissions and performance. We’d look for a lower spec, more affordable model though.
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.
