I enjoy driving my car as its very sturdy and planted. Though it may not be the most technologically advanced car, it handles brilliantly and steering gives you the feeling of being connected to the road, unlike many cars today that detaches you from the driving experience.
The 1.25l engine that comes with the might not be much, but it has impressive accelaration,(mind you this maybe 0-30 figures and on a flat road) but because you are so connected with the car through the steering wheel and the three pedals, you feel as though you're one with the car thus moving in a similar fashion.

I have a 58 plate Ford Fiesta ST and it is a brilliant car for the money. Handling is excellent, performance is good, my only slight complaints are it could do with more power and it uses more petrol than I thought it would. However this is probably to do with how much I press my right foot down! Driving it never fails to bring a smile to my face and I think Ford are missing a big trick by not including an ST in the new Fiesta model range.

An exceptional car that handles anything that is thrown at it. It has absolutely perfrect handling and has all the technology and equipment that I require in a car. The fact that the rear seats do not entirely fold flat is a niggle but nothing more. The suspension is firm enough to give confidence when driving but not so firm that it jars. Very good quality trim and does not appear to be giving any untoward rattles.

Absolutely fantastic family hatchback. Could not ever want anything better from a car this size that costs this much. The styling is modern, the economy and running costs are as expected. Its performance is perfectly adequate for this size car. The handling of the focus is not what you would expect from a Ford of this size and value.
Would buy them for the whole of my life if i could.

Absolutely love the little Fiesta, nippy little car for around town and can handle it's own on the motorways although the 1.6 diesel engine could really benefit from having a 6th gear.
Only minor problem to date have been the passenger door electric window switch keeps popping out of the door card but as it's usually only one person in the car, it doesn't bother me a huge amount.

For its age its a great little runaround, very economical and nippy. it hardly ever needs work doing, just the usual stuff they do at the service. its only downsides are the size, the road holding around corners feels a bit insecure and the brakes are a little spongy, otherwise it just seems to keep going, every time i think about replacing it!

the only criticism I have of this car is that to attain the manufactures fuel consumption figures of 82 miles per gallon on an extra urban cycle you would need the assistance of paul daniels otherwise I am more than satisfied and will probably by the same model the fiesta 1.4 zetec tdci again

It has surprised me with its handling, reliability & performance. Fords seem to be disliked by so many people, but I cant see why. This one has been well put together, is very reliable, & does everything a small car should do. Spot on Ford!

Other than the initial issues with the console screen going off nothing much. I do think that they should fit Traction Control as standard though and up-rate the brakes a bit.
Otherwise, I love it.

Fiesta ST is fun to drive and offers as much real world performance as you really need. Much better than hugely overrated Clio 197. Only disappointment that Ford has yet to make a new Fiesta ST.

Excellent supermini - particularly impressive steering, handling and cornering - I just wish that I'd gone for a larger-engined version - not the (very smooth) but slow 1.25L.
