1993 Ford Fiesta Finesse review from UK and Ireland
"This is a very good car, cheap to run, and it starts every time; a real old school workhorse"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New battery was needed.
Rear wiper only works when it feels like it.
Driver side door speaker stopped working.
I had to change the automatic choke twice.
Rust problems around the sunroof and filler cap.
General comments?
I bought this car from a priest for £250, a real bargain! It was owned from new and was well looked after.
This Fiesta is a great little car that is very economical.
Not the most comfortable of cars on long journeys.
Great carrying capacity when the rear seats are folded down.
Engine burns oil, but as long as it is topped up this is not a problem. It burns about a pint a month.
It is a bumpy ride on uneven surfaces.
It is slow out of the blocks, but it will cruise along at 60-75mph once it gets up to speed.
The bodywork is tough, and rust is only a problem in a couple of places.
The Finesse has colour coded bumpers and mirrors, metallic paint, a sunroof and a rev counter.
