Ford Fiesta for sale

Affordable, stylish and fun to drive, could the Fiesta be the best all-round city car out there? You’d certainly have a job arguing otherwise. Find out why you need one in your life.

Fun, stylish and affordable – the three key elements of a brilliant small car. And the Fiesta is definitely a brilliant small car.

The fun comes from a zippy set of engines and a thrilling ST Line trim, giving hot-hatch thrills in a compact body. Mid-spec 3 cylinder turbo engines mix punchy throttle with very good fuel economy. Matching this is a quick-rack steering system and a rigid chassis, providing a very darty ride.

In short, the Fiesta out-handles most of its supermini competition, which is a big reason that they’ve sold so many since it first touched tarmac in the late 1970s.

It’s also a looker, especially after its 2015 refresh. It still looks recognisably like a Fiesta but lines were softened and the grill got more chrome, giving it a more elegant outline that warms the heart rather than stirring the pulse.

The refresh also brought some nice soft touch fabrics into the interior.

Talking of which, the driving position is about perfect but you don’t get vast space for passengers. Strictly two adults back there – but what do you expect for a small city car?

Infotainment can be a bit,.. Old school. We’re talking lots of buttons, here – which is either a good or bad thing, depending on your point of view. You can get touch screens but they
appeared later down the line and only on higher trims.

What you do get is extraordinary value, and this really is the Fiesta’s trump card. With thousands on the used market and solid reliability, you’re looking at cheap cars which will keep
you motoring for pennies.

If you don’t need the space to move a large family, this can be the perfect city commute.
