1993 Ford Fiesta Peoples review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent MPG, but not much else to recommend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Worn pistons and a major oil usage issue.
General comments?
When I bought the car it was surprisingly rust free for a 10 year old car, unfortunately the lovely exterior belied the knackered engine.
We bought the car on the understanding that it was a 37000 mile/10 year bargain. The garage we bought it from seemed OK... BIG MISTAKE - TRUST NO ONE!
We needed a cheap car to run after having our previous very reliable, but gas guzzling Hyundai Pony 1.5 x2GSi for 2 years. Biggest mistake I ever made... it was a clocked car, the Mot's were probably faked and dodgy, and to top it all off the engine was knacked
NEVER BUY A CAR WITHOUT AT LEAST A 3 MONTH Warranty NO MATTER HOW OLD IT IS... don't get bitten on the backside as we did, you have been warned.
