THIRD REPORT Best-seller continues to be anything but ordinary
OUR Ford Fiesta is about as ‘ordinary’as new cars get: Britain’s best-seller, in mid-range specification propelled by the entry-level 99bhp 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine.
Years ago a supermini like this served as simple transport and little else. It had no real reason to entertain; if you bought one, you were committed to saving money and not much else.
But the mint-green Ford puts a smile on the face of everyone who drives it.Other members of the team, many of whom spend time with vastly more expensive and more powerful machinery, have commented constantly over the past few weeks on just how sweet the Fiesta is to drive. I’ve been behind the wheel of the supermini a lot of late, and am in complete agreement.
