2000 Ford Fiesta Zetec-S review from UK and Ireland
"Fast car, affordable insurance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leather trim on steering wheel "melted" during hot weather. However, despite the car being out of warranty, the dealer replaced it free of charge, without the problem recurring.
General comments?
In the Republic of Ireland it is practically impossible to insure a performance car if you are under 25 years of age. The Fiesta Zetec-S is on the performance-limit, which is why I bought it. It has proved reliable, quick, fun and practical during the last two years.
Performance-wise, it has more than is sufficient for town use. It is only on a straight, open road that one would desire extra punch.
The dealer, South Dublin Ford, deserves particular praise as they really have been impeccable.
