I bought this car second hand, in the the first day I have noticed the following faults:
Electric window rollers are marking the drivers side window;
The interior light doesn't come on when the door (s) are opened;
The remote boot release doesn't work;
The hose has come off of the back of one of the air vents;
And most importantly, it keeps stalling for no apparent reason! Whilst driving on the motorway at 70, and in town at 30, just turns itself off for no reason (that I can think of).
Thank god for the warranty!
On the plus side, this car performs extremely well (given the £2000 price tag), effortless acceleration up to the 100MPH area, 115MPH top speed (although I think you could get a bit more if you had the engine tuned), nice interior with lots of creature comforts. Central locking, electric windows, power assisted steering.
The servicing is cheap and nearly all garages can service a Ford, parts are fairly cheap and easy to get hold of.
I have a fiesta 1.6 zetec EFI had the same problem I know this sounds mad, but drop all the engine oil and use ford oil this sorted it for me! A bloke from the AA told me to try this it is a common fault with zetec engins.
