2000 Ford Fiesta Finesse review from UK and Ireland
"A great nippy little car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only little silly problems!!
There is an annoying little rattle coming from the dash.
Other than that, no real problems.
General comments?
This is my first car and its great. It drives smoothly and the handling is very responsive.
Acceleration is decent in the lower gears, although it gives up somewhat as soon as you slip into 4th or 5th.
For the slightly taller driver, this car has to be one of the best in its class. The seats are comfortable and sporty and pedals are a reasonable distance apart. The new face-lift has also done it a great deal of good, looking more modern and sporty. The interior of the car is very spacious and roomy with exceptional drivers vision and a sunroof. Head room in the back is rather limited, with anyone over 5'10 having to lean forward to avoid putting their head through the rear window!
Boot space is very spacious. I suspect very good for getting the shopping in!
I have not really had any problems with this car at all and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a small economical (up to about 50 miles per gallon) car.
From my point of view though, one of the best features of the car has to be the sound system that comes with it! The sound is amazing to say it's a factory fitted standard! Great nippy little car.
