Areas for improvement: poor seats, lack of legroom in rear
Always starts first time, and hasn't used a drop of oil (At under 27000 miles I should hope not!)
This car is surprisingly quick when you want it to be though, but you have to give it some stick. And it struggles a lot more going up hills than I thought a 1.3i would.
Reasonably economical to run.
Seats can make your back ache after a while, but this could be due to my not setting them up properly or the seats being a bad design.
Not much legroom in the back - but its not a four person car really. It can manage it, and as long as the front people aren't too greedy with their legroom it should be OK.
The handling of this car is amazing considering I have done nothing to the suspension etc, its all standard, but it sticks to the road like anything.
Only one major problem so far - the engine would not drop the revs when changing gear - a well known fault on the Endura engine.
Cream interior hard to keep clean.
Clutch release bearing noisy.
The running costs for Ford Fiesta 1.3i Endura Manual are normal
