For The Fiesta is great to drive, rides comfortably and is one of the most refined cars in its class. It's stylish inside and out, and there are some cracking discounts.

Against It trails some rivals for space and versatility, and some of the plastics in the cabin are poor. It could do with more safety kit as standard, too.

It's a great drive, the engines are clean and it should be cheap to run. However, rivals are better for space and versatility.

Ford Fiesta Hatchback 1.25i 82 Edge 5dr

The 1.25-litre engine is a gem: smooth, powerful enough and economical. Edge trim offers the best balance of equipment and price.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's an almost bewildering range of engines to choose from in the Fiesta range, but for us the best of the lot is the more powerful of the two 1.25-litre units. It's pokey enough and reasonably priced.

Effectively, there are two types of Fiesta â€\x93 a standard set-up with more compliant suspension and speed-sensitive steering, and the firmer Zetec S, which has consistently weightier steering. Either way, it’s superb, but we'd recommend the standard car.

Whichever model you choose, make sure you shop around, because there will always be good deals to be found. Ford's website is a good place to start: here you can find all the latest company offers, such as free equipment and low-rate finance.
