2003 Ford Fiesta Reviews
| “Fiesty Fiesta”
Performance - Not too shabby for a 1.4 16v, decent enough but it's nothing compared to the ST. Handling is fantastic! Braking also very good.
Pros —
Running costs, handling, build quality.
Cons —
Few.. manufacturer stereo is difficult to replace.

| “The Best Car A Teen Could Hope For... (without Their Parents Being Loaded)” My car is a 1.4 yet is extremely quick off the mark and never lets me down. It feels sturdy to drive and has a solid handling feel to it making it easier to control. It does well for mileage as long as i'm not tearing down a motorway and looks like a very high class car both inside and out considering its affordable price.
Pros —
looks cool, drives great and it's mine!!!
Cons —
Don't enjoy cleanin it after a week of travellin on motorways to uni!

| “Ford Fiesta '03 Ac Zetec” Acceleration is pretty good as long as your thrashing it (as it's a 1.4 zetec, build quality is alright although it's still a Ford! Interior styling is okay if a little simplistic, exterior styling is good. Cost of ownership is very good, cheap parts and cheap servicing is good, plus cheap insurance (for me, a guy £800 with 1 years no claims at the tender age of 21) and mileage (if you're driving it nicely) is about 42mpg (maybe 30mpg if you're not!). This car is a right laugh to drive and can also be nice and quiet when you want it to be.
Pros —
Quick for a first car, good build quality
Cons —
It's a Ford!

| “1.4v Zetec Ac: Nice Little Car If Not For Glitches” I also had the problem with the engine management light coming on. You need to change the coil pack (and prob the spark plugs). I was a bit slow in doing this and it ruined my cat. This is a big problem with the car as the cat is attached to the manifold, which is a big job to replace, and only a genuine replacement will do (none ford one which cost £240 lasted less than twelve months, apparently due to poor connection to the rest of the engine).
Pros —
Good little runaround
Cons —
Plasticky and loose interior
