2000 Ford Fiesta Zetec-S review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. Only the fact that I have had three different sets of number plates in a week on this car due to the dealer making an error with the initial registration.
General comments?
An excellent small car. Good performance, comfortable, 38mpg and very good looking (especially in black like mine). Engine makes a nice noise, even for a 4 cylinder unit. Air con very good.
After a horrendous BMW 325, I was a little unsure about this car, ie going from nearly 200bhp to just over 100bhp. Not a problem, the Fiesta stops, starts and steers as well as the BMW and is a lot cheaper to run. Thoroughly recommended. Only let down by poor dealer service with respect to the first registration..... I was running round with wrong number plates for nearly a week!!
