2007 Ford Fiesta Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Performance: With a 1.25 injection engine this nippy Fiesta is quick off the mark in the lower gears but takes a bit of time to pick up on the motorways, the brakes are decent and handles quite well at speed but can jerk a little if you turn in too fast! Build Quality: Always starts first time, no maintenance problems up to now Appearance- Blacked out windows, low profile tyres and suspension, posh headlights make the car look superb on the outside but has a very plain plastic interior on the inside Cost of ownership- Actually quite expensive to run, mainly because the engine tends to eat petrol, costs around £50 to fill the tank up from empty but it makes up for this by being very reliable and not incurring repair costs. Fun factor- Great for road trips, nippy round country lanes, can fit your mates in and a superb sound system with a heavy bass and iPod dock makes this car very fun to driveJul 01, 2010

My general runaround car! Bought as a replacemnt for my Punto, I was after something a bit more reliable and stronger for motorway mileage. Car comes with the Zetec trim and 1.25 litre, 16 valve, 75BHP engine. The Zetec trim comes with features such as full colour coding, alloys, aircon, electric windows, CD player etcetera. Being a Ford its very well built, en par with many German cars. Car feels a lot stronger than my Punto, handling reflects this as its a bit heavier yet more convincing. However the car is equally as fun to drive. Interior is a much quieter place to be with less road noise. Floor and boot is covered in a layer of recycled seat material to reduce road noise. Economy not much worse than the Punto, again just hitting the 40MPG mark on average.

Actually, I own the S series, not the ST series, but because it isn't in the list I choose the one that has the most in common of the S. I have a Ford Fiesta S 1.6TDCI with 90HP and 204(!) torque. For those who want a semi-small car with a decent push in the back when accelerating, while doing easely 600KM with a gastank of 45 lts, it's a perfect buy!Dec 03, 2008

It's kind of noisy for an engine that is that small but it's bigger then the previous model and 5 people can easily find their place in it. The performance is ok for this type of car but it's still a cheap model of ford and therefor the build quality isn't that fine. Appearance was original in the beginning but now there are far to many of them on the road.Aug 04, 2008

The performance on this car isn't that great because its only a 1.4 but if I want a high performance car I would have brought an Audi S4 or a BMW M5. I haven't had to repair it yet but I was hoping that I wouldn't have to repair it yet because I have only had it for a month or so but then again if something does go wrong with it I can just take it down the garage and they will fix it and it shouldn't cost me anything because its under warranty. From both inside and out this car looks fantastic but I brought the ghia model that comes with leather seats as standard so I don't know what the cars with lower spec are like to look at from the inside because lets face it from the outside they look pretty much the same apart from alloy wheels and a few added extras. As for cost of ownership it costs me about £50 quid to fill up and I normally get about 400 miles and 40 mpg out of that so I think thats pretty good. I love driving so I would say every car is fun to drive apart from a citroen saxo forte 1.1 which was my first car and this is my second car so that says it all doesn't it.Jul 19, 2008

I had this car as a courtesy car for just over a week. When I found out I was going to get a fiesta I was quite happy, and it came to picking it up. This £9200 studio 1.2 base model really was base. There was a casette player, that even some of the y2k cars dont even feature. The windows were manual wind down and the bumpers and handles were not colour coded. The drive was the least favourite aspect. The 0-60 time was probably slower that a horse and kart and the handling felt like riding a rodeo bull at a theme park. As an overall view this car really has no pros Jan 18, 2008

For just over £10,000 I really don't think there's a more enjoyable new car out there. With a little bit of money you can improve the performance and the fuel economy so that it keeps up with it's big brother the ST. Not only does it look good from the outside but the leather interior and sports seats are a great standard feature. However, no matter what you do to it or why you originally bought it - you will always look enviously at ST drivers.Dec 01, 2007
