Ford Fiesta FLAME 1.4

It's hard to emphasise just how much the importance of value for money is when it comes to buying a car in the current economic climate. This car excels in every department when compared with most of it's rivals, this is why it has earned 5 stars in my opinion.

I have owned a 5 door flame since 2004, it is now 2013 with nearly 90,000 miles on the clock and yet not once has it gone wrong. Not only this, but the practicality of the fiesta is brilliant and you will be surprised when compared to it's rivals just how spacious it's boot is.

This car certainly doesn't let down in the performance and handling area too. Being a 1.4, it's naturally quite nippy and a joy to drive. I recently tested this car's 0-60 and it did it in a staggering 12.4 seconds, remarkable when compared to it's competitors.

All this from a duratec engine designed to be powerful but fuel efficient (40 miles to the gallon to be exact), this car is certainly worth your time.

i am a fairly young driver, (just 20), i had a 1.3 fiesta from 2000 since i was 17 and it did the job, it was reliable till the end, when i started getting as few problems. Upon getting the fiesta flame I was amazed at the difference, the ride is great and smooth, everyone always comments on its comfiness. The looks from the extras the flame gets really show when parked next to other zetec fiestas. The engine is suprisingly nippy and it was cheaper to insure than my older slower fiesta presumably due to a very good safety features. Ive had no problems what so ever and have had a car full of large people all over the country in comfort. Would advise this car to anyone.

A great first car. Great handling and performance that you would expect from a small car. Comfrortable and economic with consumption. A solid purchase.

i bought my Ford Fiesta flame (limited edition) in june 2009, i was all excited to having a new car, i have had some problems with it I.E (water pump, timing belt, Pistons) it has been repaird now and may i say.. WHAT A CAR,

it looks great, because its based on the mk6 it has the same bodyshape as the ST and the ZetecS, witch means it is easy to modify

i have tinited the windows and places some blue LED lights inside the car.

i am currently looking for some different alloy wheels "15" just to make it that extra bit gorgous..

The standard features of the fiesta are:-

Air conditioning

Cd - FM/DAB/MHZ radio/player

alloy wheels

sport seats

electric front wondows

hight adjustable steering colum

ABS / TCS (traction control -something-

front fog lamps

standard ford wide bodykit (witch i have to say makes the car look GREAT)

anyway before buying the car i wish i knew what the tax and insurance would of been because that is quite expensive. for 6months tax it is £90 and to insure well for me because im only (20) is .. £2121 (P/A)

*good boot space

*quite nippy

*ideal first car

*Economincal (their off about 45mpg

*0-60 = 12 secs

*top speed of 125mph

*great at taking the road ( handles well )

motorway travel is good.. because its comfatable and the engene is quite (the only thing is that the road noise can be quite loud, but the sterio drounds that out)

anyway thanks for taking the time to read my review please rate it

I owned a 1998 ford fiesta encore until recently which gave me 8 years really good service.The Flame surprised me the most with its handling, It's really great in comparison.The interior is is very attractive. I looks good all round.The only fault at times is neutral grear is not the easiest to apply or reverse is the same

Ford Fiesta Flame 1.4Limited edition (05)

i bought this car 9 weeks ago and is really nice,, for the first 8 weeks, then the water pump went on it and then realised that my car has been worked on before.. something that ford didnt pick up on is that a design fault with the limited edition is that their is something that runs the timing belt is not locked in so sooner or later people with a fiesta will b paying £400 to get the whole top part of the engine rebulit!!

Wish we hadn't have bothered buying our Ford Fiesta FLAME 1.4, nothing but trouble, it's been on the Dyagnostic machine more times than I've had hot dinners, it's had all sorts of repairs done to it, the lastest is Throttle body cenor which cost me £221.00. ( it was back in garage 2 days later) I know I brought it second hand but the car is only 4 yrs old, only had 1 owner before me, got a full service history, never been involved in a car crash, the car just keeps cutting out in low gear, & the steering locks, pretty scary at times

I'd like Ford Manufactoures to explain that one

Nice car to drive. No problems at all. Plently of torqure and power for a small engine. It is a very good and reliable first car. The only bad point for the car when selecting reverse, the clutch has to be released and pressed again before changing into reverse. A little anoying if in a rush but otherwise not really a problem. I think it just an extra safety measure so reverse cannot be selected when drivinhg forward.

I got my Ford Fiesta Flame last month and it's brilliant! It's limited edition and I've never seen another one on the road. What makes it Ltd Edition is the blue cloth interior seats and silver stereo, gear knob etc.

The 3 door version looks sporty and with a spolier looks the same as a Zetec-S.

A flame has EVERYTHING a Zetec has but more, as it has quick clear and the blue interior and silver parts.

Good pick up when you put your foot down. Average on petrol and Band D tax bracket is staying the same and not increasing this year so that's good.

Excellent car
