The rubber that protects the car interior from the water and dust is loosing.
The car is incredible fast if you consider its small engine.
The new Fiesta is extremely beautiful and stylish.
However the interior has lack of quality. The dash is made with a low-quality plastic that doesn't correspond with the outside beauty.
The air-conditioner buttons aren't lighted, so at night you have trouble adjusting the temperature.
The seats aren't comfortable for long distance travels. They doesn't have enough support for the legs and for the back.
The Fiesta has a outstanding handling. It feels like its on a rail.
I agree, I have owned a Zetec-S for the past two years now - having upgraded from a standard 1.25SE which I thought was very nippy for its specs.
No trouble with the car apart from high servicing costs from Ford and I'm beginning to hear a slight knock from the suspension which sounds like the anti-roll bar.
Ah well,

Yes.. Ford engines like Zetec are really good. If you consider the 1.0 engine, with its 65 hp, you may think it is a weak one, but you have torch at any time. Now, this engine with the compressor (the Supercharger) with its 96 hp, it is faster than the 1.6 Zetec. Really. But you have to keep the engine in a high rotation... and it gets a little bit noisy. Also, it is a great petrol eater.
The sound system is not the best... there's a lack in quality...
