2006 Ford Fiesta Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Awesome car with stunning styling. Every detail taken care and rewards a good driver. For the price the performance is stunning but would leave you wanting more (guess thats what the Focus ST is for). Can kill with basic mods and be the fastest for the money. On very bumpy roads the performance suspension is felt. Love the styling, looks stunning and very fun to driveApr 06, 2010

My Fiesta is the Zetec S 1.6 Petrol verson. It performs well, nippy acceleration (0-60 9.9 secs) good brakes, excellent handling, very direct steering, stable and composed at speed even on bumpy roads. As for repairs, I've had a couple of squeaks fixed and I had a problem with the clutch juddering after about 6k miles, but this was replaced by my local dealership with no real hassle. The appearance of the car is the main reason I bought it, it looks almost identical to the ST model but for £2,000 less. It even has the half-leather trim like the ST, I couldn't justify the extra expense to jump up to the next spec, I recommend this car to anyone. Servicing is reasonable, 1st years is about £140, 2nd around £180. Economy is also decent, around 33mpg urban rising to over 40mpg on the motorway. To sum up, the car is a lot of fun to drive, as I said above the handling is brilliant and the engine is eager and revvy, my only complaint is that it can be a little noisy when cold.Dec 09, 2008

Performance - Pulls good, not the best 2 litre n/a performance car you can buy but this is reflected in the insurance group (13) it's put it. But the handling on the car is amazing, throw it around corners and it just wants more! Build quality - nice and solid cant fault it. Appearance - Ok its a fiesta but in my opinion its a good looking hot hatch with nice interior. Cost of ownership - Fairly cheap ownership... Insurance group 13, decent tax band for a 2 litre engine, 35mpg (40mpg if i take it easy), servicing is cheap.... Fun factor - deffinate a fun car, great handling like a little go kart, performace could be a little better but this can be achived by a few mods to get more out of durtec 2 litre engine such as k&n induction kit, and the exhaust is restricted so by buying an aftermarket exhaust or a flexi pipe this will get the best performance out of the car for not much money.Sep 06, 2008

Everything about my old car was awsome. The colour, the design, all of it beautiful. Performance, it could handle just about anything. For a small car fuel economy was excellent, especially with today's fuel prices. Cost - well thanks to my dad, he paid for pretty much all of it, all I had to do was trade in my old car for it. This car is so cool to drive, it pretty much glides over the road.Jul 01, 2008
