1992 Ford Fiesta Base review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and easy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Indicator/wiper/lights multiswitch.
Driveshafts are worn.
General comments?
My first car, it is easy to drive and feels quite solid for a small cheap car.
It has always drunk oil and rust has now started to form on wheel arches. Never buy a red Ford, they fade and turn matt.
In general a reliable and economical (50 mpg) car which can actually be fun to drive if a bit slow.
