This was my first car so I loved it like every 1 does with their first. It had a great exhaust noise that nade u feel that u were going quicker than u were, It had no mod cons with it and what I loved was the foot pump by the pedels for the windscreen washer, u dont get cars like that anymore. It wasnt too slow eather for what it was, no cat cause of its age and no rev limiter eather so it screamed in to gear and went up to 85mph but felt like 150mph, it brings back good times as any first car should.Sep 04, 2010

the color will knock your socks off (lime green)-has real good pick and doesn't rust out like the newer ones do.This car is not for dating purposes!!This car will handle the snow with no problem at all up to 12 inches.Mar 13, 2010

Car belongs to my Dad, I first learnt to drive in her. Bought by my dad approx 5 years ago of eBay of all places! Used to belong to an ex-RAF mechanic who never took anywhere! When we picked it up it was still rolling on the original '81 tyres! No visible signs of rust, car used to be waxoiled regularly.
Originally produced in 1977 the Fiesta was Fords first front wheel drive and was built in response to a fuel crisis. Therefore ecomy on the car is fantastic! This Fiesta was built in the Spanish factory as opposed to Dagenham, meaning the bodywork is less prone to rust.

It was so crap it was great... mrk1 fiesta had no power for pulling away but it got faster as it went along up to about a top speed of 80. Admitedly with 4 gears it was never going to be the fastest car in the fleet but it had... character!Oct 15, 2008

Awesome car, used to call it 'the roller skate', it looked cool, was low to the floor (so it seemed like you were going faster than you really are, lol), fast accelerating (for a 957cc lol), shame it rusted away.Mar 12, 2008
