No faults to date.
The main reason I purchased a ford fiesta is because of my previous experience with them.
The car is a great improvement over the older version.
The car looks fantastic in panther black, however is very hard to keep clean as it shows up dust like a spot light.
The car is a semi automatic which allows me to use automatic transmission when I feel lazy and allows me to switch to manual when I am feeling sportier. The gears are very smooth when changing however they are a little slow.
The comfort is the best I have known of any car I have driven with plenty of room in the back.
The 1.4 engine is very nippy indeed however there is a lot of road noise as you reach 70mph (which you will reach very quickly).
The only downside when I purchased the car was that I was not impressed with the cheap looking, plastic wheel trims that were supplied with the LX. I did however replace these with alloy trims that you can purchase from Halfords for about £50. It was a great improvement as the car now looks very sporty indeed.
Car OK, avoid semi automatic called "Durashift" - Gear change slow can be dangerous.
