The Ford Fiesta range sports a striking exterior with a spacious and sophisticated interior. There is a wide range of models to choose from and you are sure to find one to suit your style and pocket. Bold and adventurous the Ford Fiesta carries a sense of fun, that you can’t help being drawn to, where ever it goes.

Ford Fiesta 2006
I have had my 06 fiesta since 07 and I think it’s a great car. I’ve never broken down, or had any engine problems with it so far. I don’t really hear any noise from the motor and it’s still a pretty smooth drive, it’s only recently that my clutch went and to be honest I have driven this car about like a boy racer and I have also lent it out to a number a friends over the years. I must say it’s well worth £7500 and it’s done its job but now it’s 4 years old, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts making noises and braking down on me all of a sudden, lol.

Ford Fiesta 1.4TDCI 2006
65K and had enough really. Great little car, but just too many issues and poor Ford service just continues year after year. Oil leaks from sump gasket - replaced - worse than before, oil leaks from engine block meaning new cam belt and engine rebuild, started leaking again 5k later (all warranty luckily). Slipping clutch sound, it’s fine says ford. Out of warranty 3 months ago so this week, exhaust fume smell into cabin, ticking from cold, injector seal/s gone. Supposedly the injector seal is a fairly common issue. Poor quality parts in first place. Unfortunately the injector in question is stuck in the head. Also not unknown as per Ford technician. So far just to replace 1 seal (a copper washer) and a few pipes (2 hours work max) the bill is up to £500 + as they need to remove the head completely. 4 days and still no car. Oh fuel consuption...I think I managed 57mpg once with the wind behind, down hill being towed by a bus!! Time for a change, not a Ford though. After 3 in a row I have learnt my lesson.

Ford Fiesta 1.4 style 2006
One of the worse cars I have owned! Bought from new but very disappointed with the finish - lots of rattles from the poor plastic interior; the paint is soft and marks too easily - no customer care from Ford. I have just been charged £20 to drill a drain hole in drivers door as Ford did not put it in when made. I have no faith in Ford at all; even now they are saying they will refund the £20.

Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec Climate 2006
Like George Roberts from Lincolnshire, I also have a very noisy gearbox in neutral. It is worse when cold. It has been like it from day one, and has been back to the dealer on several occasions. I have also been told it is characteristic of the model, and that it is the clutch release bearing. I also find that 1st and 2nd gear whine, more of a howl, and with the wide section tyres roaring it is a very noisy car.

Ford Fiesta 1.4 Ghia 2006
The 2006 Fiesta had undergone a face lift and is a good ride with impressive handling. This is possibly the best supermini available (although the Fiat 500 is extremely tempting...). Front and rear visibility are very good and it is a joy to park. The tyre noise is a negative though. This is a great first car, reasonably priced and fun to drive.

Ford Fiesta 2.0 ST 2006
Cracking little car - drives like a go kart. Seriously needs a 6th gear as it revs highly in 5th at 70mph. I never got better than 30mpg from my ST, but it was excellent fun when putting your foot down.

Ford Fiesta 1.4 2006
I used to drive a Fiesta in the 1980s and thankfully they have come a long way since then. I had to loan a friend’s Fiesta for a couple of weeks because my own car was in the garage. I found it good to drive with plenty of space, good controls and an inexpensive mode of transport. I would not call it visually inspiring but it is a HUGE improvement on my first model!
