The Ford Fiesta has become one of just a handful of household names in the motoring world. it is one of the most recognisable and popular - in fact it has become a byword for ‘small car’ and almost a brand in its own right. Fun, easy to drive and cheap to run the current Fiesta embodies the same qualities that made its predecessors so popular but adds attractive looks and refined engines.

The little Fiesta is a doddle to drive around town. Its light steering makes easy work of parking and doesn't become too tiring to use in stop-start driving. Combined with excellent all-round visibility, it makes an excellent city car, but is equally happy out of town. On backroads it feels supple, agile and is great fun to drive. It holds the road well and you can make fast progress.

Rated 4 stars on the PARKERS guide, the Fiesta is one of the best cars, if not the best in its class and perfect for new drivers.
