1995 Ford Fiesta Si review from UK and Ireland
"A delight to drive and own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flattens its battery regularly, but I do low miles.
Nothing else gone wrong in six years.
A bit of rust on the sides of the doors due to lack of protection from walls!
General comments?
The 1994 was a nightmare, engine failed and Ford took the whole car back after three months and gave me this one.
Exhaust has been replaced and the new one has never fitted properly (dealer fitted). It rattles and thumps on corners.
Apart from that I love this car, the big comfy seats, the blowers defrost within seconds on a morning and even by todays much higher equipment standards, it holds its own.
It has to go now due to a baby, but I would keep it forever and seriously feel it would last that long. Hasn't been serviced in three years either!
