The new Ford Fiesta is the big little car. With a new classy, spacious interior, and lots of features only found in larger cars, it really is at the top of its game. But then, in the small car market, if Ford wants you to choose the Fiesta then it has to be great.Externally the Fiesta has had a face lift to give the car a more grown up, quality look. This theme is carried on inside where is interior has had a makeover too. Fiestas of old have often been let down by the bland interiors that don't do this fantastic little car justice. Ford has addressed this issue by giving the Fiesta a much more stylish cabin, and using higher quality materials throughout, which adds to the Fiestas quality well built feel.The Fiesta was always a great handling little car, and Ford have upheld this tradition with this new Fiesta, and have produced one of the best handling small cars around. The steering is sharp and the grip is plentiful. Even on the entry level models you can tell they share the same stable as the blisteringly fast hot hatch, Fiesta ST.The engines range from an economical and cheap to insure 1.25 75bhp petrol engine, to the tarmac eating 2.0 150bhp ST. There is a huge range of other petrol and diesel variants in between, but if you intend to take regular long journeys on the motorway, the 1.4 petrol or bigger, or any of the diesels would be the way to go.
