For The Fiesta is great to drive, rides comfortably and is one of the most refined cars in its class. It's stylish inside and out, and there are some cracking discounts.
Against Trails some rivals for space and versatility, and some of the plastics in the cabin are poor. It could do with more safety kit as standard, too
What Car? says
It's a great drive, the engines are clean and it should be cheap to run. However, rivals do better for space and versatility

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.
