Ford Fiesta hatchback
reviewed by Carbuyer

Ford's latest Fiesta ushered in a brand-new look for the firm when it was launched in 2008. Its sharp, contemporary design made it an instant hit, but this car's popularity is also down to the brilliant way it drives and Ford's reputation for low running costs. Named Best Smal Car in our 2011 Car of the Year awards, our only real criticism is with the limited space offered by the rear seats and cramped luggage area – which lacks the versatility of rivals such as the Vauxhall Corsa. The list of three and five-door variants available is extensive. Entry-level models are called Studio and Edge, while Zetec, Zetec S and Sport+ are a little sportier, and Titanium trim offers more luxury and equipment. ECOnetic versions are the most economical.
