1988 Ford Fiesta 1.4
Summary:
Expensive experience for me at least
Faults:
A rear wheel bearing seized when driving without warning.
Very heavy on fuel, and 2 different mechanics had no answer as to why (no leaky fuel lines, leaky fuel tank, dodgy brakes and exhaust was good: lambda 1.01 at idle and 1.05 at 3000 RPM, and the rest like any other car).
General Comments:
The thirstiest car I have ever owned, it took between 1,1 litres/10km to 1,4 litres/10km.
This car only had 2 previous owners (if I remember correctly) and was in absolute showroom condition and very low mileage.
Great side mirrors with a good view.
Pretty comfortable seats.
74 HP, so pretty nice acceleration, since it is a light car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

1988 Fiestas don't have lambda sensors...
