Very good ride,comfort and handling for the Fiesta 1.4 tdci.
Cheap road tax and very economical. Especially on long runs.


General Comments

There are more bad points than good. Bad starting in cold conditions during winter. Engine takes forever to warm up as well during winter. The steering rack rattles when going over bad roads. There is also vibration coming from the steering when you drive at 65 to 70 mph. When the wheels were re-balanced it made no difference. There was a ticking noise coming from the engine and very bad fumes coming into the car which resulted in 1 injector having to be replaced. Very expensive job. £700 plus.
I have read other reviews and other people seem to have the same problem as regards to the engine ticking and injector needing replacing.This is a bad common problem that should not be happening.
