1992 Ford Fiesta LX review from UK and Ireland
"A good all-rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major whilst I have owned it.
Slight oil leak (not uncommon for an older car)
Boot lock seized.
General comments?
What a sweet surprise this car was!
I was used to driving a luxury car before this one and I can honestly say this thing keeps up with it!
It is reliable, starts first time, every time.
Very comfortable, even my passengers have commented on the comfort.
Surprisingly spacious. This is down to the lack of any fascia and plastic running down the middle of the front!
Its not very powerful in 4th or 5th, but will run (eventually) quite happily at 85mph.
Great for carrying loads... just put the back seats down!. I got a drum kit and lighting rig in happily with two passengers!
Tank of fuel will last 350miles approx.
Insurance was strangely high for a 1.1!
It doesn't like getting too wet!!
