Ford Fiesta Flight 1.3L

This car is a death-trap. It's got more roll than Kingsmill, the brakes are feeble, it understeers, it's cheap and plastic, it rusts, the engine's too whinny (even for a 1.3). The ONLY good thing I can see about this car is it has a button to release the boot from inside. Although, to be honest, I could quite happily do away with this in turn for a reasonable car. Do yourself a favour and buy something ...  Read the complete review

My parents bought me a fiesta flight 1.3L for my birthday just over three months ago now and I have had no problems whatsoever yet. They decided to get me a new car when my old fiesta LX finally gave up. Having given me very little trouble at all over the past couple of years a new fiesta seemed the natural choice to make, although having a fairly low budget and given the great value for money that fiesta's offer cemented the decision. I have been told that after several 'window shopping' trips, my parents decided that I would prefer the overall appearence of the flight (and for once they were right). I have a keen interest in cars and have been ...  Read the complete review

My fiancé Simon has had his Fiesta for just over a month and so far we have discovered no problems. We decided to get a new car a couple of months ago when Simon had his old one broken into. He has not had a lot of luck where cars are concerned so we decided for his sake it would be best to go for a brand new one. As we had a quite a low budget it was decided a small car would have to make do. We looked around a few garages at different makes and eventually decided on the Ford Fiesta Flight. I know a fair amount about cars although I cannot drive. I am not a mechanic so I don’t know the ins and outs of how the thing runs but I can usually tell when a car ...  Read the complete review

Way back in 2001, we decided that our Red Peugeot 106 Kid should go into retirement (it actually went to a universtiy student!!!!). We went to the local Ford Garage, as we'd seen an advert in the local paper for a Fiesta Finesse - the new fiesta was just about to be released, and i think they were trying to get rid of the old-style fiestas. Anyway, to cut a long story short, we ended up with a Fiesta Flight 1.3 3-door, in Dark True Blue (it's not metallic unfortunately) for £7395. This car had a choice of black/dark grey or light grey trim, and it came with 7-spoke alloy wheels. Inside, it had power steering (the 106 didn't), and it had a casette ...  Read the complete review

This is an ideal first car. I currently have a 51 plate 1.3 fiesta flight in moondust silver and I love it! It’s fairly cheap to run on petrol – when the prices are low! However, with prices how they are, about 95.9 pence per litre, it takes £30 to fill the tank. This also falls into a low insurance category, I think either 3 or 4. The only problem that I found with mine is that the endura engine that was used in the old mark one fiesta is still used in this one which makes a rattling noise when you accelerate, which at first I thought there was something wrong with the car, but it is just the engine. This can easily be drowned out by music though which isn’t ...  Read the complete review
