Good Engine, Solid interior with potential to modify bodywork and other cosmetic aspects

One of the last Mk5 models. With the Focus esque inspired type front nose. Had the 5 door Zetec model. Not the worlds best car and sounded tinny, but boy, what fun to drive !. It's 1.25 16v Yamaha develpoed engine was a joy to push hard. Creature comforts not the best, but attractive looking fascia and had to negotiate a cd player in the deal to buy the car. Was a short term ownership, but regret selling it on.

For its price its a great little car. It goes well for its engine size and age and despite haning done 80,000 miles still feels tight and good to drive.

Admittedly, this is my first car. So i love it, needless to say! For 1.25 Fiesta, with skinny tyres, it's great fun to drive, cornering just seems fun, no matter what the weather's like. Acceleration is admittedly not great, but it is a 1.25. As a result, it is reasonably frugal. The 38 litre tank lasts me about 2 weeks, the servicing and MOT cost, well, bugger all, and parts, which don't need replacing often, are cheap, and easy to come by. My only gripe is that the tweeters in the doors rattle when bass notes hit them. But this easily sorted (just unplug them!)

I got the 1.3L fiesta in plymstock, it had 21000 miles i bought it for £1500. It has great handling, deep blue in colour. it has cassette player but instead of replacing with cd player, i'm going to get a adaptor for my ipod. It came with new tyres and brand new exhaust. everything is manual, but there again it's a old car and we are in England.
