Small cars Ford Fiesta Zetec S Cars are making big profits at the moment. In the last few years they've taken over from the large cars in the Australian new cars marketplace to be the most popular type of vehicle, and for good reason.
They're cost effective.
Buying a car is one thing, but the day-to-day costs to motorists - maintenance, petrol, insurance - are becoming more and more exorbitant, and small cars are almost always cheaper to drive, insure, and maintain than larger models. There's less weight to wear the tyres and suspension, and together with smaller engines they consume less fuel, which costs less both monetarily and environmentally. And the days when drivers had to make a number of sacrifices to own a small cars- performance, practicality, style - are now things of the past.
In Australia there are a number of light cars that are vying for the buyer's dollar, including the Mazda2, Toyota Yaris, Holden Barina, Renault Clio, Volkswagen Polo, and the Ford Fiesta, the latter of which is the car in review today.
The last time we tested the Ford Fiesta was in April 2004 and we liked the way the European-built tiddler went about it's business. This updated model has a more refined character with new styling cues, and the current 2006 Ford Fiesta range begins at $15,990. The model we're testing fetches just under $20,000, but features a number of sporty additions that people like me love to see - larger wheels, stickier tyres, close ratio gear sets and performance suspension systems.
Though the automatic model we tested doesn't benefit from the manual's close ratio gear set, it's not a complete bucket of bolts despite its ageing gearbox, and makes city driving a totally agreeable prospect. With the new Zetec S Cars model, Ford Fiesta has added more spice to its small car offering, but is it the best vehicle in its class? There's no doubt it wants to be, and has plenty of neat features to convince all and sundry of such a feat, but there's only one way to be sure
