2001 Ford Fiesta Zetec-s review from UK and Ireland
"Small pocket rocket which will have you grinning from ear to ear, a shear joy to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
To be honest, I have been very fortunate, no reported defects with the car at present.
General comments?
The Zetec-s, seriously looks like the fun performance car it so wants to be.
Not only does it look the part, it doesn't disappoint in the performance area either, the engine in this car is superb.
The car will just keep on accelerating and will cope admirable with any situation you choose, also has a lovely engine note at higher revs.
Having also owned a 1.25 fiesta, the level of detail and polish between the two is very noticeable.
Although the layout is unchanged you do get a higher level of tools including: electric windows, air conditioning, 6 speaker CD player, traction control, remote locking and boot release plus other nice touches within the car, which do have a practical use and benefit and have not just been put there for show.
I could praise this car all day, buy one now and see what all the fuss is about, you won't be disappointed.
