1996 Ford Fiesta Si review from UK and Ireland
"Good practical small runabout"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
To date nothing - The vehicle has given good service at low costs.
Fuel consumption is very good and never below 40 miles per gallon.
Spares are readily available and inexpensive.
General comments?
Good seats and driving position.
Car was bought for the kids to learn on, but it's so satisfying that they find it difficult to get into it.
Only bad observation is the requirement for the hatchback to be opened with the ignition key.
