1989 Ford Fiesta Ghia review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rusty rear arches, holes in inner sills and various rust patches.
General comments?
Goes really well in a straight line, great performance for a 1.4 (quicker than a 1.4 Nova SR) but let down completely by atrocious handling and braking. Go for the Ghia as the 1.4 sport is really basic and the Ghia still has those extra XR2 bits.
