Práctico, cómodo, ágil, diseño clásico y con un marcado estilo agresivo, belleza
intemporal, buen comportamiento tanto en ciudad como ruta, bajo costo de
mantenimiento, excelente relación prestaciones/consumo.
La primera sensación al volante de este compacto es la de estar al mando de un
vehículo de una clase superior.
Su mecánica no es muy potente pero dispone de un buen bastidor, suspensión
firme, frena y dobla muy bien. Ideal para disfrutar de una buena conducción
en carretera, mientras más curvas, mejor.Feb 21, 2012

Build Quality: Ok, a bit flimsy.
Appearence: Nice.
Cost of Ownership: Reasonably cheap to run

Got some acceleration but not much. But soon its going to have a straight
throw exhaust with a new sport manifold.
Hasn't had any repairs yet!!!!!
The rear interior is going soon to make it a bit light weight.Pipercross induction.
The exterior hasn't had any work doing just trying to keep it old school.
£10 will do a average of 100 miles so not to bad.
This car is very fun to drive handles superb around the corners.No problems.

This was my first ever car, after 2 yrs it sounded like a diesel bearing in mind it was a petrol 1.1 cc. mileage was over 60k after 3yrs before i got rid of it.
Absolute crap car but was decent enough at the time for me to use.Sep 02, 2009

highway, i don´t like much the bodywork, and the

Dislike? I just sold it so Im stuck with a bloody clio. Dislike? needed wider tyres.
Acceleration - brilliant
Brakes - needed a bit of fixing... they were a bit broken...
Handling - very good but could have done with wider tyres to coin it on the corners
Build quality - solid, quite modern looking for its age. Needed the suspension struts doing and the exhaust, s all i did to it.
Appearence - well it was a 1996 car but I liked it
Cost of ownership - 45 miles to the gallon, suck on it
fun factor - huge! Would love a car with power steering one day though lol never had one!Jul 05, 2009

My Fiesta has the best possible stock paint. The petrol-blue color, which u can see as green or blue with pearls gives my car the best appearance. It may be accelerates slow, but has perfect handling, and i can drive all around so cheap. Jun 27, 2009

Perfect Performance. It doesnt need repairs anymore. Nice interior and exterior. Its very economic 7/100 LPG. It's very easy to drive it because of its perfect brakes and handling. Fiesta fiesta fiesta fiesta fiesta fiesta fiesta fiesta fiesta fiesta fiestaJun 22, 2009

Performance: 1.3 litre engine was good enough for everyday driving, but don't hope to pass a car at high speeds!
Build Quality: plastics were of not-so-good quality, and I had some rust problems, but that's it.
Appearance: it's a 12 years old car, so you wouldn't expect to be stunished by it's almost 20 years old desing.
Cost of Ownership: mine has just passed the 45k km mark, and repairing has just not been expensive at all!
Fun Factor: well, it's rather small, so that makes it fun, but due to the lack of a powerful engine, it's not as fun as othersDec 15, 2008

Performance - Sets off slow but gets going after a while. Braking is good. Scary when going fast around corners and it starts sliding cos its got understear!!
Its had its sills repaired
Appearence is good, slight bit of rust but nothing abit of touch up paint cant fix!!
Love my 1st car!! Even though its cost me the world!!Sep 16, 2008

I've had this car since it was just 7 months old with only Ford Motor Company as the previous owner. Just a week after I bought it whilst waiting for delivery, I had a Jeremy Clarkson video for Christmas and couldn't believe my eyes when this car appeared on screen. It's been a sound little car and is quite different since it had every single option from new, costing almost £15k when a standard car was barely more than £10k. It's off the road now but will return! Performance is far from sports car like but is good for the 1.25, somehow better than other 1.25's I've driven.Aug 17, 2008

Bought this car in 2007 when it was a little over ten years old as a first car just after passing my test.
The performance i felt was better than could be expected for an 11 year old 1.1l runabout.
The appearance was good with nothing silly looking as can be seen on some modern cars.
The cost of running for me was about £30 a month on petrol. It was also very good fun to drive, with no modern fancies (power steering etc) you felt everything on the road.
Would still be driving this car if it had not being for other people not knowing the laws of the road and putting a rather large hole in the side of it.Jul 14, 2008

I cant say nothing bad about lil betsy she's nippy and cheap to run. is a Ghia so the interior doesn't look like someones puked over it. I've had a couple dings/scrapes and i lost a hub cap so the exterior is a lil ghetto its clean tho.Jul 11, 2008

i owned this car for just under 2 yrs and all i done was replace the front dampers because i felt the suspension was a bit too bouncy. this is the peasant model lx, with the 1.25 zetec engine.May 09, 2008

The best way to see if a small car is going to be good is to go a long way in it. 400 miles from Home to a holiday in Cornwall, did not disapoint. Dearly beloved, myself and the sprog with enough holiday detritus to sink the Bismark. Tested Frisky's capabilities as a TARDIS. Loaded to the gunnels. Sprog still able to play her nintendo or what ever it is and me still able to do 70 mph through the Somerset levels. But the old girl really came into her own on Cornwalls tight and twisty country lanes. The Stretch of the A38 from the Tamar tunnel to Bodmin is like a special rally stage, and even with the extra weight, the road holding and cornering was superb. I often turn off the main commuter drag and take the road to the office that goes over the moors so that I can put her through her paces, This is the 1996 Fiesta mark 4 1.25 Si 16V. This car is certainly brings out the driver in me.May 08, 2008

Too small a steering wheel, good comfort and handling. The only car where I'd to shift dowm in 4th gear when i drove up-hill at 80 km/h! Damn - and when me and my brother drove it home in a sne blizzard, we couldn't get the anti-spin off (no freakin' button!), so me almost got hit by a truck on a icy road!Apr 13, 2008
