Advantages: Quite zippy, easy to maintain.

Disadvantages: Small luggage space.

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 Fiesta quite small - a travel cot and suitcase fill the boot and I have no room left for anything else on long journeys. However, I am always able to fit my shopping in the back, so that can't be too bad. My first model was the 1.25 Flight which was a little zippier - that engine size does make a difference when I overtook tractors on these quiet Norfolk roads!
I would be prepared to try one of the evn "newer" style Fiestas, although I think they look an even older style, but for space, I think I may try a Focus next year.
