1996 Ford Fiesta Si review from UK and Ireland
"The Fiesta is an excellent little car which is good with fuel and cheap to insure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no trouble with the Fiesta since I bought it.
General comments?
The car is very quick and as smooth as anything.
The seats are really comfortable and I can drive for hours without feeling uncomfortable or strained.
The boot is incredibly roomy. I've managed to fit four suit cases and three sports bags in.
The layout of the controls is very user friendly and easy to use when driving e.g. heater control.
The car is cheap to insure as Ford parts are very easy to get hold of.
The car doesn't do too bad with fuel consumption and costs' me about £27 to fill up which usually lasts about ten days.
It is a well built little car but it still has a sporty quality to it.
The Fiesta is a very good car for younger drivers who have recently passed their test.
