Ford Fiesta (Old)

Having never been higher than 75th in Driver Power, the previous Fiesta’s 89th in 2009 isn’t a wholly unexpected result.

Despite the model being such a big seller, it’s a little curious that so many owners lack enthusiasm about their cars.

Decent scores for running costs and handling help brighten the Fiesta’s results sheet, but low votes for comfort and brakes undo much of the good work.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

Having made progress in 2008, Ford has dropped back again this year. It’s 12 places higher than rival Vauxhall, and its cars are rated for practicality and handling. Yet owners’ main gripe is reliability.
