Ford Fiesta (pre-1995) Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

I was very impresed with this model. I inherited the C registration fiesta back in 2001 after passing my driving test, previously the car had been my aunties car and after that it had been my parents run around vehicle so bear in mind by the time it came to my turn it had done a substantial amount of mileage and indeed a number of years on the ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

This was my first car, and was an absolute dream. It only cost me £1000 so is ideal for first timer buyers on a budget. There was loads of visability in this car, so reserving round corners and parking was easy. I actually asked to take my test in my own car, as the visability was so good in it, and passed first time. The car ...  Read the complete review

and so my 1st car after passing my test...1.6 engine has a good acceleration factor, one of the main benefits even though the car is an old one. only problem with this can be the insurance if you are fairly young (im 20) - quotes ranged from around the 2 to 3 k mark! pretty ridiculous seen as the car cost me £600. eventually just bunged my grandad ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Fiesta 1.0 Sapphire. This was my wifes car she bought from new, it's now sitting with approx 106,000 miles on the clock. Now I was not a great fan of Ford's - ("darned rep mobile") - but this little buggy changed my prejudices. What's good about it: + Very practical boot, with two kids this is nice. + ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

having previously owned a 3.0 24v toyota supra with a unhealthy interest in the petrol station , it was with some trepidation that i chose ( read my bank chose) to turn to a fiesta classic deisel to cure my ailing finances. the fact that it was a very boring model which appeared to be doing well to have seats, never mind any extras (this is ...  Read the complete review

Bargain basement, or clapped out scrapper? The Ford Fiesta 1.0 popular is a member of the largest family of cars on the road in the UK, The Fiesta itself. Spawning some four decades, Dagenham’s baby finally ceased production in the UK last year. Over 1 million Fiestas are estimated to be on the road, and even more litter ...  Read the complete review

Having past my test just over a year ago, i went searching for my first motor. With £500 in my wallet i expected to pick up a complete nail that would last me till the end of the year. Not surprisingly, i couldn't find anything in the area under my price range that didn't need several hundreds of repair work. Nearly giving up hope, i ...  Read the complete review

My 1989 G Reg Fiesta (not the boxy model, but the next one) was the best thing I have ever bought. Not only is it incredibly reliable, cheap to run, cheap to insure, cute to look at and full of character, but it only cost me £120. I had been looking for a car for a while at this point, as I was fed up of using the trains which seemed to ...  Read the complete review

I past my driving test last year and straight away I was in the hunt for a car as I couldnt wait to have my own freedom. I was looking around for cars for along time and I finally decided that I would buy either a Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Nova or a Citreon AX. After searching around and looking at all of the three different cars i decided ...  Read the complete review

The Fiesta...........Its Not A Car..Its A Friend..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- As a lot of you know I got my car stolen 10 days ago and don't butt in and say that's nothing to do with the the information on the Ford Fiesta because it has. For it was more than just a ...  Read the complete review

We all see them whizzing round the roads, yes, it?s the humble fiesta. My Fiesta is a Mark 2 fiesta, which basically means it was produced between 1983 and 1989, in 1990 they came out with the mark 3 fiesta which has the newer body style. So, mine has the older body style, but wasn?t far off having a new one as its F registered. Ahh well, I?m ...  Read the complete review

Those of you who have read my previous drivel might remember that I used to own a little Fiat Panda. Now, I loved that little Panda, it was small, a bit nippy and had bags of character. Unfortunately however I had caned it for mileage in the one year that I owned it – being used every day on very long journeys had certainly taken ...  Read the complete review

I hate my car. It's a five door, five speed, red Ford Fiesta with the 1.4 litre Cfi engine. It's eleven years old and has done 108000 miles. The reason I hate my car is this...It's eleven years old and has done 108000 miles. I'm nearly 27 years old, and I would really like to be driving the TVR from ...  Read the complete review

Having used the back seat of a Ford Fiesta many times in the past I for one can vouch for the room! (Joke sunbeam dear!) On to the serious stuff though... Ford Fiestas cost from £6995 new, but you can pick up a second hand one cheaper. I personally paid £4000 for an L registration in 1997. That was from a Ford dealer which I think is ...  Read the complete review

I once had an XR2I for 3 weeks. I bought it from a local garage. It was a 1991 H reg in Red with TSW Blade Alloy Wheels. It had done 74,000 miles. The reason I sold it so quickly was the insurance. I previously had a Rover 418 GSD Turbo ( also an H reg). The insurance for the Rover was £650 for TPFT. When I changed the car I was told it ...  Read the complete review
