I had an 04 WP Fiesta Zetec. Great car. The only issues.
- Clutch pedal had a habit of falling off or breaking (meaning a new master cylinder) - Engine belt needs replacing at 100,000km - The normal squeaks and rattles - Reverse selection was a pain in the behind Apart from that, it was a great car. Would definitely recommend because despite the few little niggles, it was a great first car. Reliable, efficient, great to drive. A top car.

I have an 04 Wp Fiesta Zetec manual. had it for just over a year, has 110000km's on it and its been fantastic.
only issue i have had with mine is that it quite often stalls when starting. and the engine belts did need replacing at its service at 106000kms. however timing belt is ok until 150000kms i believe. otherwise excellent car, definitely would recommend it. |
