1996 Ford Fiesta Classic review from UK and Ireland
"Don't waste your money -- better off with a Lada"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed heater plugs.
New discs.
New bottom track control arms.
Diesel solenoid switch.
Driver's door lock stopped working.
Front tyres wore heavily.
General comments?
Pile of crap: woefully slow and dreary to drive, heavy heavy steering, Arnold Schwartzeneger would find it hard to park this baby.
