2001 Ford Fiesta Fun review from UK and Ireland

When I got the car, it was missing a parcel shelf. No big deal, got a cheap one from a scrapyard. However, when I got into the back seat for the first time, the middle bracket holding the seat down was snapped. This was re-welded by the dealers shortly afterwards. Also, a bit of seal from the driver's door was missing. Also a scrapyard replacement! Just the one fault during running, however. Had some new front brake discs replaced due to the old ones worn out, and this was its 2nd MOT, although I was alerted that they were due in a few thousand miles from the last service.

Very good runner for a 1.3. Being very reliable and never let me down. Can pull off it's own at the lights, and keeps going right up to 105mph! Just wish the screen wash tank held more, especially for the winter period! Never did like the box standard radio/cassette player, however, so fitted a Kenwood CD/MP3 player, and it does the business. Also, on good long runs at a steady 60mph, I got more than 50mpg out of it, and that is good!
