2000 Ford Fiesta Zetec-S review from UK and Ireland
"A great handling looker"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The passenger side window would not shut properly.
The engine is now ticking over somewhere between 2000 and 3000 revs, due to something breaking in the throttle. Still waiting for that to be fixed.
The odometer blanks out on a fairly regular basis.
General comments?
The handling and braking are outstanding, and it looks great - especially the huge wheels.
I do think it could do with a bit more power. 0-60 in 10 seconds isn't very impressive, and there isn't much oomph after 70mph on the motorway, although it cruises extremely nicely.
