New improved Fiesta range The latest Fiesta range features striking new exterior styling, with a fresh, bold look thanks to distinctive new headlamps. Inside, a wide choice of stylish new trims and fabrics gives the cabin a spacious, sophisticated feel. Impressive high-tech options include Bluetooth®, satellite navigation and voice control.

Exterior The Fiesta is bold and adventurous on the outside, featuring clean sporty lines and a compact stance. A range of eye-catching colours plus restyled front and rear lights and front grille ensure that the Fiesta carries an appealing sense of fun wherever it goes. Smart alloy wheels grace many models and add an extra touch of zest. And automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and power-fold mirrors are perfectly suited exterior options you can add across the range.

Interior Step inside any Fiesta and you’ll be warmly welcomed by an interior that packs a level of quality few cars in this class can match. A soft touch dashboard satisfies the senses, while exclusive trim colour combinations range from sophisticated and classic to bright and brilliant. And air conditioning is standard on many models in the range, topping off a well-crafted and comfortable interior.

Models A wide range of models means there’s definitely a Fiesta to suit your style and your pocket. The Fiesta Studio is well-equipped, while the Fiesta Style takes the specification higher – to add a little more luxury and convenience to your motoring. Moving up the range you’ll find the Fiesta Zetec Climate, featuring excellent levels of sporty comfort. Finally, the Fiesta Ghia defines elegance and luxury for a car in this class, while the ST takes rally-inspired performance and puts it at the heart of the ultimate driver’s Fiesta.

Bodystyles From the confident Studio to the sports-inspired Fiesta ST, there’s a Ford Fiesta to suit your lifestyle. While the distinctive 3- or 5-door bodystyles show off Ford Fiesta’s bold good looks its ingenious design helps emphasise its spacious interior and zest for life. Designed to help you take it easy, Fiesta is a really comfortable place to be – whether you’re in the front or the back. Not only is there more legroom, headroom and boot space than you’d expect, it’s the car with just about everything too. Fiesta invites you and your friends to get in and have some fun!

Drivers The Fiesta has petrol engines ranging in size from 1.3 to 1.6 litres. Both the 1.6 petrol and 1.4 diesel versions give good performances, however neither match the performance of the turbodiesels powering many of its rivals. Earlier Fiestas established a best in class reputation for handling and the new car lives up to this reputation. Handling is crisp and responsive in all conditions and the Fiesta provides good feedback, increasing driver confidence in this nimble supermini. Unfortunately the quality of the handling underscores the limited performance of some of the engines. A well laid out cabin and commanding driving position add to the appeal of the Fiesta as a drivers car, however the steering could do with two-way adjustment rather than just rake. All superminis have got larger in their newer incarnations, however improvements in visibility and ubiquitous power steering ensure that parking remains a simple affair -despite the smallish rear screen the Fiesta is no exception.

Passengers Ford clearly acknowledged criticisms over passenger space in the previous Fiesta and the new car easily accommodates four adults. Headroom and footroom is excellent. Ford have also clearly worked hard to reduce wind and tyre noise and have broadly succeeded. Unfortunately at motorway speeds the smaller engines have to work a little to hard and as a result engine noise levels can be high.

Practicality The Ford Fiesta has a big boot for its class and can swallow pushchairs with reasonable ease. The adaptability of the rear space is limited because although the Fiesta has a 60/40-split rear backrest the rear seat cushion is single-piece. The Fiesta also has a good-sized glovebox and storage space in the doors.

Equipment Standard equipment on all models includes all-round deadlocks, CD player, central locking, passenger and driver's airbag and rain sensitive wipers. Higher specification models also get air conditioning and electric windows as standard. The stereo provides a good sound and has separate display and controls integrated into the dashboard to deter theft.

Safety & Security Dual stage airbags with crash sensitive inflation rates are standard on all Fiestas. Side airbags and curtain airbags, a first in its class, are optional as is ABS on most models. Immobilisers and deadlocks are also standard on all models giving the Fiesta class leading security.

Quality & Reliability The new Fiesta has a much greater sense of solidity than its predecessor, which bodes well for reliability. The interior is also improved although it falls short of Volkswagen benchmarks in this class.

Owning The Fiesta's frugal engines help to reduce running costs - the official Ford figures for the 1.4 diesel are 65 mpg. As with other Fords servicing costs are below average for the class make the Fiesta a good performer in this category. On the down side medium and longer-term depreciation may be an issue.
