Ford Fiesta (pre-1995)

 

Newest Review: ... hated it though. GENERAL The Fiesta has been in production for decades. It used to be the entry-level car for Ford owners ... more

 ... in the UK. Reliable, sturdy, and cheap are three words that immediately spring to mind (with the odd exception!). Usually supplied in 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6 & sporting variations, such as the XR2 & RS Turbo, Fiestas have frequently topped sales lists for the supermini class. Usual problems are rusting, and the main components tend to give up quickly. However, picking up spare parts will be easy, due to popularity. They will also rapidly depreciate in value, so make sure you harbour intentions of driving it into the grou...more

Crowned Review Ford Fiesta (pre-1995): Cheeky old banger (1424 words)

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? ...

Premium Review Ford Fiesta (pre-1995): Fiesta 1600s (500 words)

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 ...
