1985 Ford Fiesta L review from UK and Ireland
"A brilliant reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing except the usual wear and tear eg. tyres and brakes.
General comments?
This car was given to me by my Mum as she wanted a larger car, a renault 19 1.4 energy H reg.
The car has been well looked after since we bought it brand new and thoroughly cleaned inside and out, the inside was done professionally.
It was serviced every year, any rust was sorted as soon as it arrived, completely undersealed every 5 years with added waxoyl, engined tuned and serviced regularly and was always garaged.
It has always started first crank every morning and has never broken down.
Essentially an excellent car that has always been cheap to run but maybe we did go over the top with looking afterit, but it still looks and runs like new!!
Shame it is worth so little!!
