In 7 months I have had a new starter motor, exhaust, clutch, battery, suspension cap, and recently a multi-function switch for the windscreen wipes.
And for some reason on all the Mark 3 Ford Fiestas, the door panels come out at the top.
Parts are cheap (secondhand), and DIY is easy. Not very comfortable when long distance travelling, more suited as just a runaround.
Overall a nippy car when it's going OK.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Fiesta is only supposed to be a runaround car?
