Ford Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary Edition New Car Road Test Part 1
Cars have an uncanny knack of making you feel old. How many of us have stifled a snigger at some anachronistic old vehicle, still in service but with its best days long behind it, before the dismal realisation dawns that we lusted after, learned to drive in or used to own that exact same make and model? It can be a crushing blow as it dates you as much as the car in question and if you'd rather avoid this kind of reality check, best look away now because Ford's Fiesta is now 30 years old.
If you're one of the thousands of people who still look on the original Fiesta through a rose-tinted windscreen, fondly remembering the halcyon days of the late 70s when the little Ford represented the pinnacle of small car design, your disco dancing days are probably over. Fortunately, by way of a celebration, Ford have laid on the perfect antidote to feelings of sorrow and decrepitude caused by the Fiesta's entry into middle age. It's called the Zetec S Cars Anniversary and it's designed to put the spring back in anyone's step.
