2000 Ford Fiesta Zetec s review from UK and Ireland
"An absolute belter"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear speakers were not screwed in tightly, so bounced around on bumps and bends, two minutes with a screw driver sorted this.
General comments?
My previous car was a Saxo VTR, which finished up upside down in a field, so I set out looking for another, but came across the Zetec s.
I liked the looks, and the performance impressed more than the VTR.
The car has better handling and is better balanced than any car I have ever driven, even those with more than double the price tag, and I often find myself driving for the fun which comes as standard.
The feel of the car is solid and you fell you are buying quality at a low price.
This car has to be driven to be appreciated.
