1999 Ford Fiesta Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1999 Ford Fiesta appreciate its fun driving experience and good handling, especially in city conditions. Many find it economical and reliable for everyday use. However, some drivers note that its performance can be lacking on highways, and maintenance costs may add up if not handled DIY. The interior can feel outdated, and there are occasional complaints about sound quality."
Good Engine, Solid interior with potential to modify bodywork and other cosmetic aspects
February 6, 2008One 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.
July 27, 2008For 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.

May 10, 2008Admittedly, 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!)
July 18, 2008I 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.
September 8, 2009bought it as my first car back in november 2006. for a first car its done me proud. the performance isnt fantastic as its only a 1.25 ltr 16v, but its nippy in lower gears when it wants to be. had a little play with bits of it in my spare time, and generally always have it looking nice and clean and shiny.
August 29, 20081999 Ford Fiesta 1.8 Diesel. It's not a bad car, but she has done her time. Useful in city traffic, easy to handle and to park, but, that's all. Not really performing on speedway. Gas mileage is not really bad, but not brilliant indeed. It's about 15 Km per liter. Maintenance isn't cheap, expecially if you go to Ford Authorized Mechanics. If you have your own mechanic, then, you can save some money.
June 29, 2008Not the biggest or prettiest of cars ive owned but defiantly the best choice. I had the 1999 4dr LX once I replaced the stereo, put some 6x9s and a sub in it it was a respectable drive, this is the ONLY car never to let me down, never bothered to service it and after replacing standard wheels with 15in alloys it handled like a dream and believe it or not the 16v 1.25 Zetec lump was incredibly responsive all round top choice of motor thanks Ford!
June 28, 2009nice car to own and cheap to run
December 9, 2007Good Solid Performance from the 1.25 Zetec-S Fiarly dependable given the "fix or repair daily" reputation.. well.. up until the bottom end went @ 95,000! Really Fun to drive.. could have been doing with a bit more room in the back tho! :)
