1997 Ford Fiesta Chicane review from UK and Ireland
"Cute and girly... but is good at keeping up with a few fast cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My door seal leaks.
My exhaust rattles.
My passengers seat won't lock sometimes.
3 Light bulbs blew all at the same time.
Rear de-mister does not work.
General comments?
This car handles quite well and is a smooth ride, it is economical and petrol seems to last me forever when I drive it sensibly.
The seats are a bit scrathy on my skin as they are not made of a very nice material, but there are a very comfortable semi bucket shape.
