    It's not as large as the Focus but obviously comes out of the same design house, with its sharp European lines.

    Our test vehicle was the sporty, eye-catching Zetec model, priced from $18,990 plus on road costs.

    It's a tempting price for a great little car but just remember this does not include automatic transmission $2300.

     

    • All Fiestas feature the same 1.6-litre Duratec all- alloy engine, featuring double overhead camshafts, 4 valves per cylinder, sequential fuel injection and drive by wire technology.
    • The 1.6-litre twin cam engine develops 74kW of power at 6000rpm and peak torque of 146Nm at 4000rpm.
    • Performance is lively with excellent drive dynamics and plenty of driver feedback to match. We gave the car a good work out on some twisting hairpin turns and it only gave us one nervous moment.
    • The five-speed manual transmission in the Zetec is smooth and easy to use, with a decent set of ratios. It's not a large engine so you have to keep it moving but the good news is that it loves to rev.
    • The throttle is drive-by-wire which adds to the responsiveness of the car.
    • Standard equipment includes remote central locking, power steering, power front windows, power adjustable mirrors, a single slot CD player, dual stage driver and passenger airbags, body colour front and rear bumpers.
    • The Zetec adds airconditioning, steering column- mounted audio controls, front fog lamps, ABS brakes, and 15-inch alloy wheels.
    • Brakes are discs front and drums rear and while the mention of drums might draw a sigh of disappointment, there is nothing disappointing about the way the car pulls up. In a car this small, the front brakes do most of the work anyway.
    • ABS with electronic brakes force distribution that apportions stopping power between the front and the rear is standard.
    • The sporty theme continues inside, but we were a little disappointed at the overuse of hard generic black vinyl trim.
    • We particularly liked the spartan effect of the dash at night, with just the tacho and speedo dominating proceedings.
    • Rear seat access is quick and easy via a large top of the seat latch.
    • No driver footrest.
