The model
Read full reviewSuperb to drive, smart inside and well equipped, plus it offers a broad range of trim levels – from the affordable Trend to the SUV-inspired Active – to cater for many tastes and budgets. It’s one of the very best small cars you can buy, but it can prove quite pricey in higher trims and the Volkswagen Polo just has the edge for ride comfort, safety and rear-seat space.
The trim
See full equipmentIf you want to keep your Fiesta sporty without paying the premium that comes with the ST hot hatch version, ST-Line is your ideal choice. Equipment wise, it’s similar to Titanium trim but adds 17in alloy wheels, more aggressive styling and sports tuned suspension, which is stiffer and lowered for better agility.
The engine
See full engine specsThe mid-range 99bhp engine is a fine engine, pulling hard from low-revs and sprinting from 0-62mph over a second faster than the 74bhp entry-level engine. Even better, it manages decent levels of economy, helping to keep running costs low. All that makes the 1.0L Ecoboost 100 our pick of the Fiesta engine range.
