This car is absolutely pathetic. The acceleration is only good in 1st gear after that you have no power what so ever.
The car is comfortable for about half an hour then you must get out to stretch your legs!
The car looks good, but when you start it up you realize its just all looks.
When doing 60 on a carriage way or 70 on a motorway the car sounds like its in neutral.
Feels like the cars going to blow over in even a slightly strong wind.
Ford really does stand for fix or repair daily when it comes to this car as it has a new fault each day.
An OK first car as long as you are prepared to fork out to pay for the problems.
I average about 45 miles per gallon on this car so its cheap to keep in this respect.
You call it pathetic, your talking about a nearly 10 year old car that was a bog standard base model with a 1.1 engine, what do you expect for gods sake!
There is no excuse for rust. All it takes is a vehicle maker to galvanise the body.
I have a fiesta 1.3 (converted from a 1.1) mk3
and its awesome.. nice lil runner... its not slow either (well depends on what your comparing it to)
my fez is has'nt had any perforance mods, but still goes quick!
You need to drive 1 to know... I took mine 80mph with nop problems down a curvy little lane... so that 14secs 0-60 is a lie!
Prefer it to any other hatchback is best 1st caand if you think they look rubbish.. then slap some alloys on it and lower it... job done!
Mine looks cool
if your thinking about getting another car e. g corsa, saxo, 106 don't bother FORD RULE!
