1995 Ford Fiesta java review from UK and Ireland
"Quick and nimble"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering rack went on first MOT, along with the headlamps being to old and corroded.
Interior light is a bit of a pain only works when it wants to.
Seat has worn by drivers side.
General comments?
The seats are brilliant nice and comfortable and hold you in posistion when turning especially on harsh country roads.
However though you get your mates telling you to move forward all the time cause they aint got no leg room.
The 1.6 16v java performance is brilliant for a low insurance car I've had 125mph out of it and clocked it at 9.8 seconds to 60mph now that aint bad and I would recommend it for someone who wants a fast reliable first car.
