2000 Ford Fiesta Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant little car, quick, reliable and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pretty much nothing has ever gone wrong with this car.
Just the usual wear and tear parts. Recently had new brakes fitted, spark plugs, tyres and that's it. Oh, and an oil change.
Suppose the steering wheel starting to wear is a bad point, but again that's wear and tear. It is a 7 year old car.
General comments?
Brilliant little car, I went from a 1.6 16v Megane Coupe and a 1.6 Sport Astra to the Fiesta, and I immediately noticed how economical it is on fuel.
I've left 1.4 206s and a 1.9 diesel Punto standing off the start, and even top end it's incredibly nippy for a small engine.
Seats get a bit uncomfortable on long journeys, especially down motorways, as I have noticed recently.
I never used to like Fords because of their reputation for putting together poor quality cars, but it's probably the most reliable car I've had. So reliable that I'm going to buy a 07 Plate Fiesta TDCi Zetec S in December.
