Good Points: Everything.
Bad Points: Interiors a pain in the ass to clean as its baige and i'm an engineer that often comes home oily. Not the best compination but if you keep clean will be fine!
General comments: I've owned my Ford Fiesta for 8 months now she done 18,000 miles (I drive a lot) she still jst as nice 2 drive as the day I got her. She has been modified, uprated suspension zetec's alloys pipercross induction kit nwd cat back sytem grooved and drilled brakes ebc rear drums all round strut braces. I've yet 2 find a car under a 1.4 that can do me off the lights. and as for corners well she enilates them. Seriously even if you not guna modify it they are great car would highly recomend.

The Ford Fiesta Zetec is a great first car, sporty sounding but quiet. Zetec engine that is surprisingly nippy. Hits 60 in around 11 seconds which is quicker than the MK5 facelift and the new shape fiesta of the same engine thanks to the lighter weight.
General niggles are the sills rusting and under the wheel arches but all can be sanded down and brushed up. Other than this nothing has gone wrong with it yet with only 32,000 on the clock.

Great little car. The Ford Fiesta Zetec is great, especially for just the £390 I paid for it, it looks origanal and sporty, sounds more sporty in high revs rather than lyk ur just ragin the nuts of it, its done over 100,000 miles but feels tight and like new to drive and is also very economical, I seviced it around 4000 miles ago and the oil and water is still in the same good state, great first car.

I have a Ford Fiesta MK4 'R' Reg 1.25 Zetec 16V with electric windows and central locking. This car is great for me and as my first car its a lot better than i expected to get for the cost. The version i have seems to be rare as i can't find anyone else with one except for 2 for sale on ebay. I have had some problems with my car as it overheated due to the previous owner not keeping the water container topped up which has meant i have had to replace the head gasket, a valve and get the head skim ...

I've had my mk4 Fiesta 1.25 zetec for a month with 108k on the clock and it drives fine, very fast and very good at handling, only problem is rear passenger lock (5door) and a tad of rust on the arch but is still a very good car. Especialy for £300.

I have hardcore version (Fiesta 1.25 Zetec Si) for a year now and I've done a bit of mods to it: power boost, induction, manifold, s/steel exhaust system. Next is: kent cam, 15" rims (step up from the 13s) and Mondeo throttle body.
I get 0-60 in 6 seconds very impressive for such a small engine and I bought it buttons!

The Ford Fiesta Mk4 1.25 great car. Mine is the LX zetec, and has the fog lights on the front and the flip spoiler. Go for the Zetec though insurance may be dearer. I think I'll invest in a spoiler - want a big one though, not the small flip - I'm undecided! In terms of practicality, a small fuel tank but great mpg. I do about 200 miles a week and only spend about €30 on petrol!

I have had my Fiesta 1.25 Zetec for 3 months and has been a bit unreliable. I have had to change the catalyst convertor but after this change she has been great. Quick little car and I even beat a new Mini 1.6 petrol off the lights. Great little car for the money and would say yes if you were thinking.

I got my 1.25 Zetec S fiesta off my mum last year, with 40K on the clock, its now done 43K and . 1st of all got a puncture (not bad, but a annoying none the less), then needed the clutch replaced, and still clunks a bit.
Still a great car, especially with a 3 1/2 back box and an induction kit ;)

Best engine you can get in a small car and very reliable, mines done over 70,000 miles and still runs like new! comfortable inside and looks pretty good on the outside to for its age.
When I first test drove the Ford Fiesta Mk4 1.25 Zetec there were lots of small electrical problems such as the central locking was a bit iffy (worked about 30% of the time) heated windscreen did not work or the back wiper or boot release. Also the rear suspension made an awful crunching noise everytime time you ...

I bought this Fiesta 1.3 8v about 2 years ago as a runabout at uni, it cost me £2000 and has so far, been a good investment. I always liked the look of this model however hav since made sum modifications. Twin headlamp conversion, Green air filter, Peco full exhaust system, lowered 40mm, added TSW 15.

I've had my Fiesta Zetec for just over 2 years, before that I had a bog standard Fiesta and decided I wanted to stick with the same model but wanted power steering (being a girly with weak wrists).
I love driving it, it's nippy, economical and reliable. The only problem I have had is the motor going on the rear wiper, other than that it's a little gem.
I am going to miss it when I get another car as I know I need something a little more spacious with a bit more poke.

I passed my test in March this year and bought a 1.2 8v 5 door Corsa. I liked it to begin with then all the little comforts and features that it doesn't have and the Fiesta does just started to annoy me e.g. power steering. I then swapped my girlfriend's mums lad for my Corsa. All I had to do was get the Corsa MOT'd which only cost £110 in total because it had just been done 5 month prior. The Fiesta was newer, faster and more stylish so this was a very good deal i would say lol. ive slowl ...

Fiesta Xetec s 16v , very nippy car, my mate has a 1.9 d Turbo Peuguot, but my Fiesta eats it for breakfast. It's great whan you know that a 1.25 can beat a 1.9 d turbo.
