Ford Fiesta Finesse in general

I have had my FFF for nearly six years now, it was two years old when I bought it and had 55,000 miles on the clock. I was using it for work up until a year ago and it has now got 142,000 on the clock. This car has been wonderful, only the normal wear and tear. My MOT in December came back with nothing again. The only problem I am having with it is the heater which after being looked at my two different friends, changing the thermostat which was done in a garage and another garage managing to get it to blow out cooler but not cold air whilst on cold. I have sort of given up, so if anyone knows of anyway to change this I would be grateful, as the summer months ...  Read the complete review

Excellent Runner, I owned my K reg finesse since about 40K and its now getting on for 80K. Its been a fantastic runner starting first time everytime. yes it has gone wrong at times. bits and bob's need replacing. Brake parts, Suspension parts. at its last MOT it failed due to £13 worth of lighting bits if your looking to buy a Mk 3 check out Covers all models 1989-1996 Bodywork Front end Check the gaps between the bonnet and the top of the wings, if these appear gappy or very narrow on one side there is a chance the car has been in a frontal impact. You've heard it before, that slam panel is very hard ...  Read the complete review

I am now on my second of the "newer" type Ford Fiestas, and with the Ford Finance Deals I am able to change the cars every two years. This is quite a good scheme, but I would advise anyone wanting to join this scheme to "haggle" for 2 years free insurance and road tax, as this saves you money in the long run. The present model I have, the basic 1.1L is exactly that, very basic. I was rather disappointed as although it has a sunroof and body coloured bumpers, there is no central locking or electric windows, which I do miss. The carpet isn't even stuck down in the boot and keeps coming up. Now I have a young child, I am finding the size of the ...  Read the complete review

Compared to the old style fiesta, the styling of the car is far better and the build quality is far superior. The road handling is very good for a car in its class, and although the car is not particularly fast it gets you out of most tricky situations. The free insurance deal is very useful for younger drivers, and is available for any driver 17+ although some of the excess charges are quite high. The only frustration is the cigarette lighter adapter, is permanently on - so using mobile chargers can be a problem as the battery may drain. ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Ford Fiesta Finesse for two and a half years now. I paid £4495 for a 2003 52 Reg with 21,000 miles on the clock and if you wished to purchase one now, privately they are between £2500 and £3200 obviously depending on condition , mileage etc. Our previous car was a 1998 Ford Fiesta Zetec which was also an excellent car both cheap to run and maintain. Therefore we decided to upgrade to the latest model. This particular model comes with a sunroof, CD player and radio. Driver and passenger airbags. Having owned an older model I was really suprised by the quality of the interior, the materials used are much better quality than before and the general layout of ...  Read the complete review
