Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec Climate (petrol)

Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec Climate 2007 57 plate, 34,000 miles. My first ever new car, now had it for 3 years, just put it through its first MoT, passed no problem. Regular services at Falkirk main dealer help. Nippy with great handling, especially round country roads. Cruises on motorways well, although you have to make sure stereo is up a bit, fair bit of wind/road noise. Scotland to Cornwall and back, could have done with cruise control but otherwise comfy. Can lack power on uphill motorway sections and when accelerating! Boot is decent, back seats fold flat for good load space. 3-door bit squashed getting in and out of tight spaces due to longer doors. Slight niggles: Aux socket connection affected by gear changes; driver side heated mirror now not heating (need replacement?); a few filaments of heated windscreen on drivers side not working (replacement windscreen needed). That's it, everything else works fine. Great little car!

1.4 Freedom model with fitted bluetooth etc for mobile is very handy. Engine is flexible around town and motorways. Good car for a retired couple, economical and not too costly to service. We have done 26,000 miles, only problem I have had is a collapsed front suspension spring. Internet states these car were built in Cologne and suspension springs were sub standard steel. If this happens to you make sure you get it replaced with a Ford part. We put ours into local garage and they fitted non Ford part (to ensure it didn't happen again!) and Ford wouldn't entertain us for this reason.

very good little car, i've had it for 4 years now, it didnt do much, only one little electronic part to change, and that's it so far.

i've got a 3 doors and the seat handles to access the back seats have a tendency to snap, both mine have.. so need to be careful with them.

other than that, good fuel eco, nice punch to it, turns well, i like it.

I used to have a ford escort but it was getting old, I couldnt get another ford escort as they dont do them no more. :( So i looked around and i decided to go for a Ford Fiesta Zetec Climate, I made the right decision, its a great car, cheap on fuel and insurance, smooth to drive and im happy with buying one.

Very nice little motor had one nearly new ,very sporty and stylish

starts first time every time ,even in the cold weather very cheap to run ,and insure ,recomend a Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec Climate everytime.

I have just downsized from scenic to this wonderful little Fiesta the 1.4 engine is you ' ll ever need town & motorway it is very nippy and economical I got 44.5mpg out of it. The car handles so neutrally and flat and the steering feel is great for a small car which inside would lead you to believe that it was massive! The boot could be bigger but the cabin does not leave you wanting for space! Great car would always advise you to get one!

Great car overall. Exellent Handling, nippy, good looks and extras are a good deal. It is my first new car and I dont regret getting it and it is a pleasure to drive.

Smooth drive, very grown up for a hatchback.

I downsized to a Fiesta from a Focus when family had grown up. It was the worst decision ever. I am now going back to the new model Focus Sport, and I can't wait!

The Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec Climate is a Superb little runaround.....great on motorways too, superb handling and road-holding
