2000 Ford Fiesta Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"Amazing performance for the engine size and price!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was delivered with five paintwork defects, all of which were repaired under warranty.
The wind screen wiper motor failed after 500 miles.
The engine occasionally cuts out when the engine is cold.
General comments?
For such a small engine the car is incredibly quick, and puts a lot of larger engined cars to shame.
The car handling is perfectly balanced, and is always a joy to drive.
Although not the most spacious supermini, it is very comfortable in the front especially for the passenger with the well designed cutaway glovebox. However space is only adequate in the back and the boot.
Overall I love this car, but the time has come to say goodbye as it gives way for another Fiesta, a Zetec S.
