Disappointing

So I have had 2 fiestas of this shape both were 1.4 one was diesel the other was petrol and overal I wasn’t overly impressed with either. I found they handle nicely and have a fairly decent gear change. However I found the seats uncomfortable the ride crashy and not over pleasant the dashboard was horribly dull and made of cheap plastics and the rear passenger space and boot space were not great. The there’s the problem of rust the brake lines on both rusted out same with the seals which made both sc***.

I might seem a little harsh to the fiesta but I had a similar year Fiat Punto and I found it to be more practical and a lot comfier and it didn’t rot out.

Overal I would rate this shape fiesta 2 stars out of 5 it’s an ok car but I think the alternatives are a lot better.
