2001 Ford Fiesta Zetec S review from UK and Ireland
"Great handling, great looks, BUY ONE!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Definitely something amiss with tracking / breaking or suspension at the moment with breaking and acceleration pulling to the right. Getting it checked at the moment.
General comments?
Handles excellent grips the road brilliantly.
Looks great in Imperial blue. Alloys and integral fog-lights look hot!
V.Cheap insurance only £860 for a 21yr old with 2yrs No claims bonus and a partial blame write off in 2000!
Good response at around 3500-4500 revs. Higher revs seem not to yield as much acceleration as it earlier promises.
Good fuel economy at about 40mpg on motorways. Very poor (but fun) when thrashed round the back lanes :)
