Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi 68 Zetec Review

“So cheap to run - my Ford Fiesta costs £35 road tax...”

Good Points
So cheap to run - £35 road tax and average 55mpg over the whole year - thats all types of driving. It'll do 80 -85 on the motorway no problem and still return over 50mpg, even fully loaded. Handles like a little rollerskate! Great fun to drive but you need a bit of skill to get the most from the diesel.

Bad Points
Throttle response can be a bit unpredictable and sometimes stalls for no apparent reason. Small boot and rear seat squab doesn't split (but the seat back can split 60/40).

Superb little car great space for 2 adults and can take 4 at a push. Really cheap to run and Ford fixed price servicing is pretty reasonable as well.
