1994 Ford Fiesta Ghia 1.3 mi

Summary:

A perfect car for people with low budget!

Faults:

Some leaks from the radiator. I bought an addition for the anti-freeze for 2.5 EUR and they disappeared.

Few tiny repairs some of which I managed to perform alone.

General Comments:

Pros:

Great value for money. An excellent low-budget car.

Very spacey for its class. The VW Polo, Peugeot 106, Citroen AX are less spacey and comfortable.

Very reliable. I have the feeling that this car will never leave me.

Light-weight, short and high above the ground - very suitable for poorly maintained roads.

Cons:

Gears do not switch very smoothly.

Very noisy engine, especially when it is cold.

Not as fuel efficient as I expected it to be.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
