1995 Ford Fiesta freestyle review from UK and Ireland
"A bargain first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power Steering Belt started to go at 50,000 miles.
Brake Cylinders weeping fluid at 51,000.
Tracking needed doing at 53,000.
General comments?
I love this car, I bought it for £800 with 49,000 miles on the clock. Had a few spots of rust, which after a couple of days of sanding and spraying, are now gone. Starts first time every time, no matter what the temperature. No rattles or squeeks. Very comfy.
Not exactly powerful, but you get what you payfor with the fiesta, you wouldn't be able to pick up a lotus for £800!!!
I'm planning on keeping this car for years, going to go well over 100,000 miles.
