1995 Ford Fiesta Si review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the car, one of the front calipers had stuck to the rim.
New front tire on passenger side, and a new alternator - the one already there was half busted - the car cut out on the way to work one morning.
Slight little scuttle-ring noise when I engage the gears i.e. first.
And why does it sometimes cut out in the mild/cold weather when I drive up to the top of the road?
General comments?
The car has good acceleration through all the gears and has some sort of street cred!
Luxury seats!
POOR fuel consumption on these models - I would like 300 miles to a full tank, not 200.
The steering is easily affected when I have passengers - it either goes to the left a lot.
