• Ford Fiesta review - Reliability and safety

  10-02-2020 15:45
  
  Our annual Driver Power customer satisfaction survey is the biggest of its type in the UK, and gives us an accurate picture of how much owners like their cars. The new Ford Fiesta ranked 71st out of 75 cars in the 2020 customer poll, with the Ford brand as a whole also performing poorly. Aside from strong scores for its SYNC infotainment system, there was criticism for exterior styling, build quality and interior comfort.
  However, the Fiesta does include new hi-tech safety gear such as

• Ford Fiesta review - Practicality, comfort and boot space

  10-02-2020 15:45
  
  Although some rivals such as the Honda Jazz and Suzuki Baleno offer much more interior space than the Fiesta, the Ford is now on a par with its more well-rounded rivals such as the SEAT Ibiza and VW Polo.
  The Fiesta isn’t just spacious - it’s practical in the sense that it’s easy to drive, and the driving position is excellent. It’s not just for the average person, though, as the amount of adjustment in the wheel and seat means taller and shorter drivers will be able to g

• Ford Fiesta review - MPG, CO2 and running costs

  10-02-2020 15:45
  
  Part of the magic of cars in the supermini class is that they can be fun to drive, more so than some much more expensive cars, without being pricey to run. The new Ford Fiesta is no exception to that rule, and its range of small-capacity petrol, hybrid and diesel engines are very frugal.
  It’s not just about fuel economy, as purchase price and even the cost of fuel plays a big part in how cheap a car is to run.
  The petrol 1.0-litre EcoBoost with 94bhp provides a good overall package. It emi

• Ford Fiesta review - Interior, design and technology

  10-02-2020 15:45
  
  The new Ford Fiesta isn’t exactly a design revolution over the previous model, and that’s partly because the car uses the same Ford ‘Global B’ platform as before. That means lots of the unseen parts are the same, keeping the proportions broadly similar to before - and, therefore, the design. A familiar trapezoidal grille remains on the front, plus there’s a set of swept-back headlights and a rising shoulder line just like before.
  Still, at the back there is quite a

• Ford Fiesta review - Engines, performance and drive

  With the Fiesta, Ford has proved yet again that small, cheap cars can be brilliant fun. The Fiesta might be new, but it will retain its reputation for being fun to drive as it’s better than ever through a series of bends.
  Lighter steering in this new model means it’s easier to drive, especially in town, but that doesn’t take away from the driving experience on faster roads. There’s enough weight that you can feel the resistance coming through as you turn into a corner, an
