It may be singing its last verse, but the Ford Fiesta is still a fun-to-drive, do-it-all supermini with a lot to shout about - grab one used with our guide
Still, it has plenty of room up front and a widely adjustable driving position. Two people of average height will be comfortable in the rear, but three in the back is more of an option for shorter journeys. Most models have a backrest that folds with a 60/40 split and the reasonably sized boot is relatively easy to access.The 1.5-litre diesel engine is fitted with a diesel particulate filter, which can clog up if the car is used mostly for short journeys.
Both 1.1-litre petrols have 48.7mpg combined WLTP. The 1.0-litre Ecoboost engines span 42.8mpg to 50.4mpg. Of the 1.5 diesels, the 84bhp one averages 60.1mpg and the 118bhp 57.6mpg.Our favourite is the three-cylinder 999cc engine, and of the four versions on offer we would go for the 99bhp version because it’s fast enough at motorway speeds and is also pretty economical.
