Great little car; handles well, fast and sounds great. It has lots of torque and can ashame people in bigger cars at the lights. The steering wheels tend to discolour and rear window has rust spots. I'm only 19 but the insurance is only £400 fully comp. A great car.

I find the Fiesta Zetec S an amazing little car to drive, it handles just like a go-cart. I bought a Zetec S in 2005 and I've had no problems what so ever still to this day. The car is very fast for the engine size. I've driven other 1.6 engine's and I've found them to be no match for the Zetec S. Overall I find the car meets all the points to be a good hot hatch with its amazing torque which makes it very good at accelerating and over taking, but the handling is just unreal.

1.25 Zetec Ghia

Still the best small hatchback money can buy, even after 10 years! A joy to drive and own. Superb 1.25 engine with fine reliability, torque and performance. Brakes are fantastic! Roadholding is best of its class; feels safe in any condition, even though the suspension is on the stiff side. Maintenance costs are low and fuel consumption is ok. Comfort is quite acceptable.
