2005 Ford Fiesta Zetec review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best new car under $20k in Australia"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only 'problem' was the aluminium plate on the gear lever was poorly glued on and would come off in the sun.
General comments?
Awesome handling. AWESOME handling. Needs more power to match it, but the suspension/steering/brakes don't need to be touched. Very well made, comfortable too. Drinks a bit for a 1.6 though.
