1999 Ford Fiesta Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"A nippy reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gear linkage problem at 10000 miles.
Engine blew at 84000 miles (big ends) new engine currently being sourced hopefully a 1.6
General comments?
Car has been very very reliable engine problem due to having a heavy right foot.
Interior is still rattle free after all the abuse I have given it.
Still handles well. Still on all suspension components it came out of the factory with.
