Best Small Car - Ford Fiesta

Best Small Car - Ford Fiesta

Can anything stop the Ford Fiesta's reign at the top of the small car class? It's been around for over three years, but the Ford's blend of driving fun, family-friendly practicality and great value makes it hard to beat.
Both the three and five-door versions share the same head-turning looks, while the interior is smartly styled and robustly constructed. It's surprisingly roomy, too. There's enough space to squeeze in five adults, while the 295-litre boot is nearly as big as the larger Ford Focus's.
Yet it's the way the Fiesta drives that really stands out. Agile handling and sporty responses make it fun to drive on a twisting back road, while the comfortable suspension and low noise levels help take the strain out of long motorway journeys.
As you'd expect there's a wide range engines, with the best of the bunch being the smooth and eager 1.25-litre petrol unit. Even entry-level versions are surprisingly well equipped, but we'd splash out a little extra on the Zetec, which adds desirable extras such as air-con, alloy wheels and a heated windscreen.
Factor in a five-star Euro NCAP score, value for money prices and a huge dealer network, and it's not hard to see why the Fiesta takes a well-deserved second straight victory in this category.
