Ford Fiesta

Focus-family styling, a wide range of willing engines and a conservative interior mean that this Fiesta is an inviting a proposition as Fiestas always have been. It sells by the boatload of course, but unlike previous generations, this Fiesta has gone upmarket with posh interiors and lots of standard equipment. An engaging driver’s car that continues the Fiesta's reputation for fine handling. At its best in three-door 1.6 form, though the 1.4 diesel is fun and frugal.
