Faults:

Not much so far. I have heard the "EcoBoost" engines have issues, but mine seems OK so far with over 70K miles. Keep them serviced on time and should prove reliable. This car was bought used but has been looked after well. Not quite as good on fuel as hoped, but doesn't seem to be a problem. Get a diesel if MPG is important.

General Comments:

Good looking, fun to drive, reliable enough so far... love this Fiesta.

2018 car feels like new. Very smooth and refined to drive / ride in.

Handles like a go kart to be honest, very easy to drive. Great for city spaces. Still can hold its own on longer trips - took it down south on a long motorway drive and it was fine. Comfortable as well so long as you do not carry too much luggage or passengers.

Interior has a surprisingly good quality feel for a Ford. Dash and seats are top notch.

It's like the ideal first car for anyone.
