Clutch went at 54000 miles.
Front lower wishbone bushes also at 54000 miles.
Driver side door doesn't seal properly and leaks.
Drivers window won't close properly above 70mph.
Very reliable, hasn't broke down on me once, apart from the clutch and bushes.
Acceleration is awful, but can cruise comfortably at 70mph on the motorway.
Interior is OK, a bit dull, but well set out and easy to use. Seats not the most comfortable on long journeys either.
I don't agree with all of the comments made about the azura. the life of a clutch depends on the person driving the car, and the way he/she drives it. my clutch has lasted 70,000 miles and is still going strong.
It turns out the door sealing problem is on going. I have spoken too many fiesta drivers and they all have the same problem. mine doesn't seal on the passenger door, you can hear it whistling on motorways.
About the performance, well what do you expect from a 1.1 fiesta?
I think it makes a perfect first car, but as you get a little older, I would suggest moving onto the 1.6 16valve fiesta si. seriouse beef.
