1993 Ford Fiesta DL review from UK and Ireland
"A poor man's disaster"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lower arms (both sides).
Steering universal joint.
Front discs (originals warped).
Cam belt snapped destroying valves and camshaft (belt was only changed 10k previous).
Severe rusting everywhere.
General comments?
Although this car returns 55MPG the ride quality is very poor indeed.
It shakes and vibrates itself into one of the worst cars that I have ever owned.
