For A whole load of luxury gear and an extra set of doors make this Fiesta a pint pot executive machine. We like the eagerness of the 1.6-litre petrol engine.
Against Opting for this level of luxury in a supermini means forking out quite a lot of cash that you will not see recouped when you come to the sell the car in a few years.
We love the sheer amount of opulence Ford has crammed into this Fiesta, but we’re not so keen on the list price so would look elsewhere for our Fiesta thrills.
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.
