The Ford Fiesta is a remarkable car. It has been going since 1976 and
almost single handedly transformed public opinion of super mini cars
into something very positive. Now in its 6th generation, Ford has
sold over 12 million Fiestas since its release back in the day. It is
quirky with a heap of personality, and if you buy second hand it can
be yours for less!
The Fiesta has always been front wheel drive, which makes it sharp and
nippy in the corners. With a range of engines from 1.25 litre petrol
to 1.6 litre diesel, there’s no lack of performance either. It has a
choice of 4 speed automatic or 5 speed manual gearboxes and models
range from a 2 door van to a 5 door hatchback. Basically the Fiesta
caters for a wide audience and delivers something exceptional every
time.
Fiestas of old were often criticised for looking cheap, but the 6th
generation looks anything but. The combination of sexy curves and
sharp angles make it quite a work of art, and the rear of the car in
particular looks like something out of Star Trek- very space age
indeed. It’s a fantastic looking car that anyone would be happy to
drive.
Buying a used Ford
Fiesta will allow you to own a work of art for much less. With second
hand cars commonly being 15% cheaper than buying brand new, the choice
is obvious to even the most indecisive of people. Getting value for
money is always the name of the game, and with a used Ford Fiesta,
you may even be able to get hold of the sporty ‘ST’ model for the
price of a normal one!
The Ford Fiesta is a great little car. Not only does it look good, it
has solid performance in all guises and is extremely reliable. The
stunning design and wealth of features mean even the hardest nosed
motoring journalists can’t find anything wrong with it. It really is
a revolution, and if you buy second hand you can get it for less. So
get searching and join the party!
