2005 Ford Fiesta MK6 review from Romania
"I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On bad roads, the backseat make some noise.
Nothing else so far.
General comments?
The interior of the car is OK. Lots of plastics, but good quality. The seats are comfortable and in the front of the car there is enough space.
The 1.4 TDCI engine is just great. It is fast enough (more HP would be nice, but not mandatory) and eats very little fuel: 4.2 l/100km out of towns (with speed up to 110 km/h) and up to 6l in towns. Using the AC increase the consumption only by 0.3-0.5. I drove as fast as 180 km/h (on highway) and the consumption went up to 6.5-7 l/100 km.
In a town, this car is perfect. Handling it is very easy, it is small so you can park anywhere. The engine responds very quickly, and steering is precise.
For long trips, more that 2 persons in a Fiesta becomes a problem, because the trunk is not very large. Is large enough for 2 persons, or for 3-4 persons in a short (2-3 days) trip.
