2001 Ford Fiesta Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car has been a good car to my dad only breakin down once on him so he has passed it down to me, this car is a 1.25 litre so is very ecconomical, the appearance i find is very good lookin with some slight mods it will become a brilliant first car. i would recomend it to anyone as they drive very nicely, the fun factor with this car is that small and rather nippy for a 1.2 so makes this car very fun to driveAug 10, 2010

This car is mechanically standard. I use it for day to day driving and if i want a cheap journey lol. It is worth the world to me and i will never get rid of it lol. The performance is above average for a standard 1.25 Fiesta Freestyle, the power steering is spot on, and its a lovely car to drive. Its cheap to maintain and really nippy off the lights. So far i have changed the standard red rear lights for clusters, the yellow ide indicators for cluster indicators, ive tried to keep the rest of the car quite standard and havent put a body kit on it or changed the standard alloy wheels. It is Aquamarine Frost in colour, the interior is cloth and colour coded to match the exterior. I have put Vibe 6x9 speakers in the parcel shelf and upgraded the CD Player/ Radio Player complete with a remote control steering wheel add on. The only bad thing about this car is that some twat (no names) put brake fluid all over the bonnet and even though i tried 2 get it off, it had already caused the damage and over time has and is still stripping the paint. Im saving up for a front end re-spray so it should look nice again one day!!!Aug 06, 2010

1.25 black edition. Great spec with AC, ABS, Power steering, Leather seats and chrome and silver trim. loads of time spent on modifying and a nice return of 90bhp (not bad for a 1.25).

1.4 excellent condition, drives faster that my mothers 53 plate, no added extras. Fantasticly built, no repairs needed, front passenger wheel squeaks. but isnt a problem, its a part of it character lol. Appearance is satisfactory. Cost of ownership: maintenance not a lot, petrol drinks like an alcholic. Fantastic to drive wouldnt replace it for the world love it!!Sep 30, 2009

* Performance - acceleration, braking, handling -> acceleration: like a little devil with pepper in his bottom * Build Quality - has it needed repairs? squeaks/rattles -> already have a small problem with the heater and a small piece of the dahboardplastic has come loose * Appearance - both interior and exterior styling -> exterior: candy red, aluminum spoke wheels, spoiler, tinted windows; interior: red steering wheel, sport seats, sporty white dials * Cost of Ownership - gas mileage, maintenance -> bought it for €2750 (1 year garanty); mileage: more than my previous model * Fun Factor - is this car fun to drive? -> HELL YEAH!Jun 03, 2009

The Ford Fiesta is a great little car and has been ever since it was released! My Fiesta, the Mk5, has improved looks and styling to the Mk4 and Mk3 models, even though underneath, it still roles on the same Mk3 chassis. Performance - Even though its the smallest engine in the Mk5 range, my 1.25l 16vZetec engine is a nippy little beast! Ok, so the 0-60 time is 12 seconds, but for a 1.25, thats not too shabby and the engine noise as standard sounds pretty grunty as well. Handling wise, the car has so much grip in the corners thanks to its setup and the fact that it only weighs 920kg!!! Body roll is minimal and is probably one of the best handling superminis of its time. Build Quality - Only drove it 550 miles, but so far so good. From the service history, it seems it hasn't had a single problem apart from the usual maintainance parts. Driving it at the moment and it has no weird exhaust noises, engine problems, still moves as well as I first had it! Appearance - The styling is still quite funky today even if the design is a little oudated now. I personally love the spoiler on the back though! :) Costs - Cheap to run, cheap to insure (if I was older,) cheap, cheap, cheap!!! The most simple car anyone could want for a first car. Fun? - Hell YES! Although I've only drove this and a Mini One, but for now, yes!!!Jan 21, 2009

the fiesta has a pleasing response when you put your foot down, the braking is firm and forceful, yet feels like you are just slowing normally, it has the best handling of any car i have driven, it is a brilliant and fun car to drive, you can chuck it into corners at high speeds and it just holds on in there, i would recommend this car to anyone who wants a small fun carOct 03, 2008

Good handling car, Had it since august 07, done alot of miles in it and is a good runner, i love the Zetec - S so this being the same car with a smaller engine is great for insurance for me! it's had a few mod's done to it, big alloys, exhaust tip, spoiler, body kit, side skirts and sports air filter, it looks great, i wish i had the propper Zetec - S but that would be alot on insurance, maybe in the future.Apr 09, 2008
