2001 Ford Fiesta Zetec S review from UK and Ireland
"A nippy, sporty car that for the price is just so much fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes are a bit squeaky but isn't a big deal though.
General comments?
Some say it is dated, but many I now think that is a much nicer nice shape and has a nicer interior than the newer fiestas.
Not the fastest car, but is very nippy and 0-60mph in 10 seconds isn't half bad. What makes up for it however is the amount of fun it is to drive, mainly due to the superb handling of the car.
Looks very sporty and will make the boy racers drewl.
A bit cramped in the back, but hey, you are not in there are you?
