Ford Fiesta hatchback pictures

Whichever engine you choose, economy is very good in the Fiesta, especially the 1.5-litre TDCi diesel, which returns an impressive 85mpg.

Whether you choose diesel or petrol power, you’ll find the Fiesta is fun to drive.

The Fiesta has a comfortable yet polished ride with plenty of grip, while engine and road noise are suppressed, so long journeys aren’t a chore.

The Fiesta’s design dates back to 2009, but a recent facelift means it still looks as modern as its closest rivals, although the interior is starting to show its age a little.

The Fiesta’s short wheelbase means it’s easy to maneuver around towns or cities and also very easy to park.

All Fiesta models get a smooth five-speed manual gearbox as standard.

The Ford Fiesta isn’t the most practical small hatchback, with a small boot and cramped rear seats.

With its flared headlights and Aston Martin-style front grille, the Fiesta is certainly a handsome hatchback.
