Review Ford Fiesta Duratorq TDCI Cars Parts 1
To get into a Fiesta with a better engine than the 1.25-litre units, you’ll need 1,600 to afford the 1.4-litre TDCi diesel or 500 to get the 95bhp 1.4-litre petrol. The latter option might sound attractive but that unit is only available in the plusher Style+, Zetec and Titanium trims which come at a price. Fiesta buyers looking to spend as little cash upfront as possible have little option outside the 1.25 models.

The performance might not be stellar but running costs are agreeably low where the 1.25-litre Fiestas are concerned. Economy and emissions are 52.3mpg and 128g/km from the 59bhp cars while the 81bhp models get 49.5mpg and 133g/km. This might not be a patch on the 67mpg the entry-level diesel model achieves on the combined cycle but it will take a lot of miles to recoup the price premium Ford is asking for that car in fuel savings.
The 1.25-litre engine is a tried and tested unit that should prove reliable over the long term and with the 59bhp car squeezing into insurance group 1, these are cars that won’t serve up many nasty surprises on the costs front.

Ford’s Fiesta is an outstanding supermini that isn’t at its best with a 1.25-litre engine installed under its bonnet. That’s no great surprise, of course. These are entry-level engines that will sell on their low asking prices, not their sparkling ability on the road. The Fiesta’s prowess as a long distance cruiser will be diminished by the lack of power but if performance isn’t a priority, the 1.25 models should be perfectly adequate for urban motoring. The Fiesta’s considerable other qualities will still shine through and that’s what will give it the edge over rivals.

There’s no doubt that modern superminis are able to do a whole lot more than carrying their owner on trips to the shops and other errands about town. Big enough for the whole family, comfortable enough for long journeys, sporty enough to entertain and stylish enough to satisfy the image conscious, these cars really are all-rounders. The 1.25-litre Fiestas don’t have quite such a comprehensive array of strengths but they do a lot of what the more expensive options do at a temptingly low cost.
