The 2014 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.0T EcoBoost has been an absolute gem of a car, and I've been lucky to own it. It was previously owned by an elderly woman who took meticulous care of it, so it's still in excellent condition, inside and out. The exterior looks almost new, with clean bodywork and no major scratches or dents. The interior is equally well-maintained, with no wear and tear on the seats or dashboard, and everything from the air conditioning to the infotainment system works perfectly.Under the hood, the 1.0L turbocharged EcoBoost engine runs like a dream. It's small but surprisingly powerful for its size, giving you 100 PS, which is plenty for zipping around town or cruising on the motorway. Despite its punchy performance, it's also incredibly fuel-efficient, so I've saved a lot on petrol costs. Plus, the insurance is extremely affordable, which was a huge advantage for me as a first-time car owner. It's one of the main reasons I went with this model, and it hasn't disappointed.The 5-speed manual transmission offers a smooth and engaging drive, and I've found it really easy to handle, even in busy city traffic. Being a 5-door hatchback, it's also super practicalthere's plenty of space for passengers and luggage, making it great for road trips or daily errands.Overall, the car's been incredibly reliable, and I've had no mechanical issues at all. The engine's in mint condition, and it feels like it has a lot of life left in it Next MOT due 04/10/2025, Red, 3 owners, £2,950
