I've only had the car 1 month now, and it seems to be going well. However I don't know if it's just me, but I find it sometimes extremely difficult to select reverse; it just sometimes seems to not want to go in.
Another small thing is the spring on the clutch pedal; it makes a terrible squeaking noise and I just can't get rid of it.
Overall I find the Fiesta Zetec a smashing little car. My previous car was a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2, and compared to that it's a 'rocket-ship'.
The 1.4 Duratec engine puts out 80bhp, but it delivers it well, with fantastic acceleration in 1st, 2nd and even 3rd gear. Ford state the car will do 104mph, which I believe it will do with ease.
If you are looking for a fun quick affordable little car, I would certainly recommend one.
80 bhp? They've cut its nuts off! I had this engine in a decade old mkIV where it made 90 bhp and in a car that weighed 200kg less. That was fun!
