Ford Fiesta 1.4 16V Ghia Review

Make: Ford
Model: Fiesta
Year: 1996
Mileage: 65000 miles
Engine size: 1.4 16v
Colour: Blue
Specification: Ghia






Wow, this is one quick car... I never knew an engine so small could propell something that fast! Not only is this a pocket rocket, but it also has all the big car gadgets from its older brothers the Focus and Mondeo. Mine is the Ghia which has front electic windows, CD player, manual sunroof, remote central locking, and a height adjustable drivers seat to name but a few. This car is a real step-up from the previous model and had become a much more desireable car and less of a glorified go-kart. If you want something with a bit of get up and go, then this is the car for you but only if you can afford the eye watering insurance costs, if you're a young driver, and the less than practical small fuel tank coupled with abismal fuel consumption. I worked out that I'm getting, bearing in mind I live in the middle of nowhere doing lots of short trips, a cool 25 mpg which bearly gets above 30 on a long run... Really not good enough Ford. Having said this, it is mighty good fun! I paid very good money for mine, only £800 with full Ford dealership service history and very low mileage making the Fiesta good value for money for the cash-strapped people of 21st Century Britain. If you're looking for a practical car however, look elsewhere as the back seats have next to no legroom and it lacks that all important third 3 point rear seatbelt. Also, with only one airbag, it's not going to be overly safe! Having said this, visibility is good compared to competitors and is incredibly easy to park so if you want a small, cheap, fast car... The Ford Fiesta 1.4 16v is the car for you!
