Ford Fiesta

My dad had a fiesta, had almost 190,000 miles on it when he finally packed in driving, they go forever them things

Most robust engines you'll ever see. Will be missed.

the coming and going of Ford cars in the UK is part of the passage of life. Corsair, Cortina, Granada, Capri, Escort, Sierra... now Fiesta.

1 liter Yaris. Unbreakable.

Bring back the Mondeo!

From 1972 to 2020 a Ford was the best selling car in the UK. The most recent 12 of those years was the Fiesta.

Shame how the small car is being killed off in favour of big, ugly inefficient crossovers.

I have a blue Mk7 ST3.

It's a bit dated on the inside but a wonderful car to drive and I think it's better looking than the Mk8.

You are wasted on here, mate!

Nothing better than a Fiesta in a hedge!

I just bought one of the last fiestas for my wife. The guy at ford said they’ve stopped it because it can’t be converted to an electric car. There is a replacement coming though.

Surprised about the fiesta, I assume there is no market for them anymore?

They’re still the most sold car in the UK, Ford have decided to focus on the Puma now which is more of an SUV. It’s so ugly.

The market will always be there for this car segment. But not the profits.

Customers and insurers are demanding the same the same amount of tech/driver-aids/cameras/sensors/safety in Corsas as they do in the bigger car segments. But there's only so much you can charge for a small hatchback.

The Fiesta was on borrowed time. And so is the next size up, The Focus. Which has technically already been axed from the US market along with Ford's other saloon cars. They've also given up on the very competitive small car markets in India and China.
