Ford Fiesta Titanium

Price: £14,180 - £15,500
Available as: 
Hatchback
Our choice: 

The 95bhp 1.4-litre petrol engine is all you need, although the 69bhp 1.4 diesel is a good alternative if you do a high mileage.

Summary: 

Titanium is the luxury level trim within the Fiesta range, and as such is ideal for people who are downsizing from a bigger car to reduce their motoring bills.

Overview:

You’ve had a big car that's comfortable, good to drive and chock-full of comfort and safety features, but now it's time to trim your motoring bills. The Ford Fiesta Titanium has been created to let you do that without sacrificing too much of what you’ve been used to. There are 94bhp 1.4-litre and 118bhp 1.6-litre petrol engines plus a 69bhp 1.4-litre diesel, while for those with a green conscience – or an eye on company car tax – Ford also offers an Econetic model powered by a 94bhp diesel engine and featuring lowered suspension and aerodynamic tweaks. Fuel consumption figures range from nearly 49mpg to more than 75mpg, with emissions as low as 95g/km, in which case there's no annual road tax to pay, and the lowest rate of company car tax. The standard spec includes a Sony stereo, cruise control, Bluetooth, privacy glass, climate control, powered folding door mirrors and automatically activated headlights and wipers.

Good points: 

Titanium spec moves the Fiesta upmarket, but there are no changes to the mechanical parts, so it drives just as well as any other Fiesta, and is a bit quieter and more comfortable. The six-speaker Sony stereo sounds good and includes a DAB digital radio. There are controls to operate the stereo mounted on the steering wheel. Bluetooth, cruise control and climate control are necessities for business users who might spend hours on the motorway, and they are all standard.

Bad points: 

The Fiesta Titanium is well equipped, but we still wouldn’t describe it as fully equipped. Side curtain airbags are an option even on this top model, and you get only a tyre inflator kit instead of a spare wheel to avoid leaving an unsightly hump in the boot floor. One thing you will notice if downsizing from a larger car is the mediocre rear legroom, and the rear seats don’t fold fully flat. The quality of some of the cabin trim is pretty ordinary, too. It's reasonable in the areas you most often look at and touch, but lower down there are hard, shiny plastics that seem out of place in a top-spec model.
