2002 Ford Fiesta Zetec S review from UK and Ireland
"Best handling warm hatch ever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Remote operated central locking button on Key broke, was repaired under warranty.
General comments?
The car looks very smart in panther black metallic, but I did not buy it to look at!
The trim is OK too, and mine has air con and electrics, but I am not into toys, If I could spec the car it would have 1 bucket seat, a gearknob and 3 pedals!
The reason I bought this car is that it handles so well, it is completely neutral and is ideal to learn all about driving a front wheel drive car quickly. I have owned 13 cars now, both front and rear drive and engined with power from 70 to 240 BHP, and I really rate this car highly. It is essentially a Puma (best handling car in its class) under the skin!
