2000 Ford Fiesta ENDURA DI review from Romania
"Absolutely satisfied with this turbo diesel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problem for the time being.
General comments?
This is my first diesel, but after a few thousand of kilometers my impressions are good.
Despite the 1.8 liter engine, a low diesel consumption is characteristic for this car. I was really satisfied with 5.9 l diesel at an average speed of 140km/h on the highway. The Turbo gives to the car a satisfying 75hp. It's more than OK.
The power steering, assisted brakes, the four airbags will make out the driving to be a pleasure.
The Traffic 3000 audio system is a really good value.
For two persons the car is ideal. In case of two adults and some kids the space is OK. But four adults will stay a little bit crowded.
As minus I can notice the lack of glove box and trunk lights.
Also, changing the timing belt was a really 'nice' job for the mechanic. The engine is a little bit over-sized and he didn't have enough space around it.
