General Comments:

I bought this car brand new and this car has been nothing, but trouble since I received it over a month ago.

I have spent most of my time in courtsey cars.

I really wanted this car to be fun and reliable but it has been neither for me.

Personally I would not recommed this car to anyone

Faults:

No faults to date.

General Comments:

The main reason I purchased a ford fiesta is because of my previous experience with them.

The car is a great improvement over the older version.

The car looks fantastic in panther black, however is very hard to keep clean as it shows up dust like a spot light.

The car is a semi automatic which allows me to use automatic transmission when I feel lazy and allows me to switch to manual when I am feeling sportier. The gears are very smooth when changing however they are a little slow.

The comfort is the best I have known of any car I have driven with plenty of room in the back.

The 1.4 engine is very nippy indeed however there is a lot of road noise as you reach 70mph (which you will reach very quickly).

The only downside when I purchased the car was that I was not impressed with the cheap looking, plastic wheel trims that were supplied with the LX. I did however replace these with alloy trims that you can purchase from Halfords for about £50. It was a great improvement as the car now looks very sporty indeed.
