Well, as I'm off to Guernsey in September for two years, my beloved BMW 528i (elsewhere on this site) is up for sale. However, I still need transport up till then, so I've picked up an old Fiesta for £100 via eBay. And when I say old, I mean old. Like one of the first ones, practically. My new steed was first registered on the 21st of August, 1978, making it 24 years young this summer. That's just one year younger than me! Of course, this means that down at the pub, when people ask me what I drive, I can say a T-reg Fiesta, which is accurate. Except that on my car, the T is at the end! So what did I get for my one hundred notes? ... Read the complete review

Here is my review of my 1995 Red Ford Fiesta encore 1.3l Due to some connections I managed to pick one of these up for £800 and I must say I have been thoroughly impressed! When I bought it there was only 35,000 miles on the clock (thank goodness for old people!). ========Reliability======== This car's reliability has been absolutely fantastic, in the 2 years that I have had it nothing has gone wrong mechanically at all despite me not taking the best of care of it! (The first time I checked the oil after buying it was over a year after it was bought! oops!) This car is a guaranteed first starter every time, even after going on holiday for 2 ...

My wife had a 1993 Ford Fiesta for a few years, i used it on a regular basis and here are my experiences good, bad and ugly! GOOD The car is VERY cheap to run! Cheap on insurance, cheap on fuel, cheap on parts and cheap to buy! There are tons of Fiesta's around in the local scrap yards so if you ever have any problems, it is always worth a look (or even a check on ebay). Because they are so cheap, i have even heard of people buying a 'spare one' to keep for parts! Nice if you have the space and the spare cash. The insurance group for these is very low (it varies depending on model but is normally in one of the lowest groups). There are ... Read the complete review

I'm writing this just because I can never find out any information about the 1.6s Fiesta. I myself own one of these decafeinated XR2's and would just like to say its great ! Its cheap to insure, petrol's not bad at around 35mpg - if you drive like a granny. Performance is pretty good for a 90's Fiesta, coming in at around 90bhp and accelerating almost as well as the XR2i model. If you want an XR2i but can't afford the insurance buy one of these. You even get XR2i brakes, boot spoiler and front and rear anti roll bars - so you can banish that rumour about Fiesta's being 'wallowy'. The car uses the old mk2 ... Read the complete review
