Nothing as such except for the digital speedometer "blinks" on and off. Ford say this is a characteristic of the Fiesta.
Paint defect on the front wing (dealer blames Ford - Ford blames the dealer), fixed under warranty.
Are/h door speaker has a loose connection. Not under warranty due to an aftermarket Sony stereo.
A little high to insure compared to other cars in its class (for a 21 year old anyway).
Its good to see someone else has had the 'flashing' or blinking mileage display! I thought I was going mad, I was convinced it has flashed on and off a couple of times.
I've had my Zetec for 2 years, no complaints really. Very fast for its size and economical. My only gripes are the lack of space in the boot and back seats, and the styling is a bit dated now, but to be fair I knew this when I bought the car.
It has however loosened up a fair bit during the last 6 months, quite a lot of stone chips on the sills/doors, a bit of tappet noise when cold, the suspension is quite clattery, and the odd squeak in the cabin, but it is only an £8000 Ford, not a BMW. I do have my doubts about long term longevity, maybe after 5 or 6 years it could be a bit sloppy.
I have a 5 month old new style Fiesta ghia which I bought to use as a driver training vehicle, but it has a re-occurring fault which Ford are unable to cure. The electronic accelerator control (EAC) keeps failing and even after being replaced it still keeps breaking down (not a good advert for Ford!) This car has cost me both loss of company credibility and loss of earnings.
I am also a driving instructor, and have had problems with the EAC (Electonic Accelerator Control) failing intermittently. I've just booked it in for diagnosis, so Watch this space!
