iamnicolas Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hello, i am new to the forum and i am in the market for a used ford fiesta for around £6000. I want to know for any known faults and what to properly inspect when i will do a pre purchase inspection. I prefer to get an auto as i am used to them. And i love the Titanium ones! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 So you're after an automatic transmission with Titanium trim level. This probably leaves you in the 2002-2008 model budget wise www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Seems your right! Haha, automatics mustnt hold their value as much as the manual.. Either that or the fiesta just doesn't hold it very well www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If your after an auto then don't get a facelift 2012on. There's been a number of reported problems with them. If you can go to a manual then the 1.0 Ecoboost is definitely worth considering. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamnicolas Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 What about ESP? is it standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnicolas Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hello! I went for my first test drive today and am impressed! I really like the car and the Sony radio is really nice! The only problem now is that because am a student the insurance is very expensive, i will wait untill June to buy a car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDominator Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 My 2012 Zetec has got bluetooth and ESP so a Titanium more than likely will. If you're unsure put the reg or vin into https://www.etis.ford.com/home.do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnicolas Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Drove a Toyota Yaris today and am having second thoughts. I liked it and am not sure what to get hhahah! I saw a swift too but it has a really small boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnicolas Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Guys when is the new fiesta expected to launch? 2018?? 2017? Is the Fiesta with the chrome grill and new headlights a facelift or a new generation of the fiesta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 That was the face-lift which came out in 2013. New one should be here by next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamnicolas Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Guys do you think that if i buy a 2011-2012 fiesta this year the prices will drop drastically when the new one comes out next year or this kind of cars keep their value?

iamnicolas Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 I have decided today that i will be looking for both the Toyota Yaris Trend and the Ford Fiesta Titanium 3-door. I like both but the Yaris trend auto is very rare! I have a question about the fiesta! On autotrader some fiestas says that the road tax is £145 and some other £180 even though they have same engine 1.4 auto. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be looking about £130 mark, I paid about £134 something like that for my Fiesta which is a 1.6 2011 plate for 12 months!. If you go for a newer reg think 13 and above, the tax should be cheaper, though I don't know so maybe someone can tell you that! As for Toyota vs Ford... I've driven both, and the only thing I felt the Toyota offered was the length of warrenty. I wouldn't touch one personally! They feel cheaply made and you SHOULD be able to pick a decent Fiesta up for less price than a Yaris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Parkers... 1.4 Titanium 3/5dr is tax band F CO/2 is 149g/km(automatic) £180. it's because the automatic produces more CO2 than a manual.
