The first car Fiesta 1.25!

[stumilne]

Not exactly he best car in the world but a good start. A 2003 Ford Fiesta 1.25 Finesse. Not gonna spend much money on it, already got some alloys off a newer model and debadge it but thats as far as the mods go. There is the customary pistonheads sticker obviously! I tried to put some photos up but it didnt go very well, ill try get some up soon

[McAndy]

Excellent start...so much so that we still run one! Nothing a Fiesta can't handle . Enjoy!

Yes?

You've got the better spec one than me I've got the 1.3 with no electric anything.

Cracking little motors. I have one in my modest fleet!

The 1.25 engine is very underated, just remember to check your oil regulary as this has been the demise of many bottom ends.

Remember my folks having one of those as a courtesy car. It wanted to rev its head off! Loved heading for the redline. (Partly as it wasn't ours)

Worked on by Yamaha wasn't it?

Nice choice as first car and more fun than the 1.3. I know!

Look forward to the pics.

I had the 1.4 zetec for my first car... Brilliant she was, handled everything in her stride. Saved my life from an idiot in a saxo, took me all round the country and most of europe. Bless I miss her!

Enjoy

Great engine!

[ghibbett]

Fantastic engine that yamaha unit!

[rumple]

dont be so modest, its a cracking little car with great steering handling and a great engine, better to drive than alot of more expensive machinery

Thread hijack alert! What was the 1.4 16v like performance wise? The 1.25 is a corker but runs out of puff at times.

Yeah, these are great cars in my opinion. Running the 1.25L Fiesta Finesse too (52 Plate though).

[twazzock]

Used to share a mk4 1.25 with my mum. Good car.

Cracking little car, we've just sold the missus 52 plate freestyle, replaced with a MK V Golf GTI. Good little engine, we kind of ruined the handling by fitting budget tyres as I was on short time at work. We put 50k on it with barely a niggle.
