1995 Ford Fiesta Si 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Great if you are willing to hand money over for repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch cable snapped.
Door latch went.
Eats tyres.
Spare wheel is forever falling out!
Rust on sills and arches.
Drinks water like it's going out of fashion.
Various niggles.
General comments?
The Si is a great car, cheap to insure, fairly nippy, loverly to look at.
It just suffers from ford problems of being cheap and nasty, for example I had an 1987 peugeot 205, after 15 years it had no rust, my fiesta is a rust bucket, why can't ford galvanize cars???
