Ford Fiesta 1250 Zetec 3 door 2010

4 star review

Fuel consumption first, I get readings on the computer of 50,51 when on the longer trips with just me in car. With a couple of passengers it drops to 49. Around town so far it reads in the low 40s. But the point is that this car is a brilliant drive and can really serve up some fun if you want it. If you want a boring car that will give better economy then there out there for you. If you want a small car that drives brilliantly AND has the capability of giving real driver enjoyment then this car does have that. This is my honest opinion and after thirty years driving police vehicle have I ever driven a better small car? NEVER! Try one. Hope this helps.

Ford Fiesta Zetec 1250cc 2010

3 star review

Bought car 1 year ago. Poor mileage, 37mpg is the best I can get using all the recognised tips recommended. Had to invest in a spare wheel etc., which of course hurts the fuel consumption. Some other small niggles, but the steering and roadholding are very good. Next one I will have will be a 1.6TDCI for a bit more poke and better mileage. It’s still much better than my previous Yaris, which you can find on Toyota reviews.

Ford Fiesta 1.4 zetec climate 2010

3 star review

My Fiesta has started making a scraping noise from the front, only since this spell of bad weather, on slow corner manoveres and pulling back down my drive, it’s like the springs! My Ford dealership have yet to find it. Also tonight have heard water slushing about somewhere, found water dripping from off the bottom of the rear passenger door. Another trip booked to the dealership tomorrow!

Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCI ZETEC S 2010

5 star review

Well chuffed With my new buy. Purchased for my Wife. Had about 2 months now. Build quality Very good, smooth drive, great driving postiton, smooth gear change and the quietest diesel I have ever driven. Mpg very good too. If you order one, make sure you order it with the spare wheel/brace and jack, cost me extra £50, but well worth it. Owned Fords now for over 20 years and this is the best yet. A great small car with a very big personality. Before you buy any small car, you must have a test drive. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Ford Fiesta 1.6 Titanium 2010

4 star review

I traded down from a 2 litre Ghia Focus, so I now benefit from lower emissions and less road tax plus better consumption. The performance is just as good, the engine is much smoother and very willing to rev. My only gripes are; manual rear windows, no drivers central armrest and biggest of all is drum brakes at the rear. If Ford had addressed those shortcomings they would have had a lovely small executive sports car. Rear seat leg room is a bit tight and the boot is not over large, but for two people it is more than adequate. Two adults in the back are ok for short journeys. After speccing my car came to around £15,300 but with trade in and discount from my on line buyer I reduced that to £10,500.

Ford Fiesta Fiesta Zetec 1.25 (82)5dr 2010

1 star review

I purchased my Fiesta 3 weeks ago - and quite frankly I hate it. It is very uncomfortable and I find the seat belt far too tight which is causing great discomfort to my shoulder. . After having a Citroen C3 which was pleasure to drive - very spacious in terms of headroom and visibility. I find the Fiesta very confined and the rear window visibilty is poor. I am considering trading it in at the turn of the year.

Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi Trend 2010

5 star review

5 stars deserve my little Fiesta, after 12.500km (8000miles): the average consumption is 3,8l/100km (not even once passed 3,9l/100km!!!), not a single problem with bodywork or the engine, well manufactured (built in Cologne, Germany - yes, "Ze germans...), very cheap to run, an unbelievable driving experience - despite its size (compared even with large class models). The only minus is the total lack of power (torque) under 1800rpm.

Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.4 Automatic 2010

5 star review

I am very happy with my new Fiesta. It is a pleasure to drive and the handling is first class. The automatic transmission is smooth - unlike my previous Toyota Yaris which was a dog. Fuel economy is difficult to judge at this stage as I haven’t done anything other than short hops though town so far. I have an iPhone which I can plug into the console to play music and make hand-free calls with BlueTooth. The voice activated commands are surprisingly good. My only gripes are minor ones. I would have liked the back seats to fold flat as the Yaris ones do and I would have liked a proper spare wheel.

Ford Fiesta titanium 1.4 2010

4 star review

Purchased the new Ford titanium 1.4 and have problems with the power. Can be good or bad, driving me mad, can be going along and the car lacks acceleration which is scary, been in the garage 4 times and now taking it further. Love the car otherwise.

Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCi Titanium X pack 2010

4 star review

There seem to be very mixed reviews for this new Fiesta. I am obviously one of the lucky ones. I have had non of the problems other people have suffered (so far anyway, touch wood!) I am, like many others, disappointed with the economy, which falls way below Ford’s figures. It is comparable with the Vauxhall Corsa 1.3CDTi (90HP) model that I had before though and that had 6 gears. As for driving, the Fiesta is leagues ahead of the competition. I drove several other cars before choosing the Fiesta and the ride, handling and especially the steering are vastly superior to most other superminis. The diesel engine is also quieter, smoother and more responsive than average. One thing I would say, stick to the standard 16" wheels. The 17" rims that come with the X pack look great but do give a firmer ride. It is not bad, just not as good as standard. On my experience I can easily recommend the Fiesta. Perhaps the early cars had teething troubles. I hope Ford has sorted them, it would be a shame if a great car was spoilt by poor quality control.

Owen, New Zealand

Ford Fiesta 2010

2 star review

A car with good handling and effective breaks. A bit too much noise from the tyres and the poor around town fuel economy are complaints I have in common with others. However, I have also had a stability problem with the new style jack. While jacking up the front wheel to fit mud flaps, the base of the jack slipped out and caused damage to the body of the car. Has any body else had a problem with the jack?

Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec 2010

5 star review

The majority of reviews appear to be based around poor fuel consumption, my new Fiesta has now completed 2000 miles, mostly of journeys under 30 miles either in cities or the South Wales valleys,and so far has averaged 47.8 mpg. If, as is suggested, the fuel consumption will improve as the engine beds in, then I am very pleased. A vast improvement over previous Fiestas. Ford have at last given this model the refinement it deserves.

Ford Fiesta 1.6 petrol 2010

4 star review

Purchased a brand new 1.6 petrol Titanium Fiesta last month. Very happy with everything about it, apart from the starting. It’s fine first thing in the morning as it starts just as I would expect it to but if I leave it an hour after and try to start then I have problems. It just about starts but sounds really really weak until I put my foot on the accelerator. Took it to Ford service last week who have put it on computer and started it during the course of the day and they say there is nothing wrong with it. I know there is as I have had 2 other Fiesta’s for 13 years and they both started perfectly well.

Ford Fiesta Zetec 2010

3 star review

I’ve just bought a brand new Fiesta Zetec on a 2010 plate. 5 days after ownership the centre console stopped working so that I couldn’t use any of the functions. I took it to a local dealer who ’reset’ the system. Next day - same thing happened, it froze and the green cog symbol appeared (which in the book means the settings). Most annoying. I now have to book it in to be looked at again. I’m wondering if its the car at fault or my iPod thats fudging it up? Has this happened to anyone else?
