2005 Ford Fiesta Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent Ford"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong.
Only minor niggle is the alarming amount of coolant that disappears over time, and needs topping up.
General comments?
I quite like this car. It looks good, goes well, is huge inside & is cheap to run.
The fuel economy on the car is excellent, being better than my old Austin Metro. It pulls well, and I've had it up to 100mph and it seems in no bother.
It looks good in its metallic blue. One thing this car is missing is that magic X factor, but I still wash it every fortnight or so.
The car has A/C and all the toys, although if you put them all on at once, the car has zero power.
One last point; there is no where to put your left foot on the motorway.
I like this car and it seems an excellent compromise. I've owned it 3 years and have not yet dreamed of owning anything else.
