Ford Fiesta 1.6 Ghia 2008
2008 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Ghia

I drove this car for 4 years so I should know just about everything about it.

In terms of style and design, it was the highest-specked Fiesta in its class. Came well-appointed with full leather seats, climate control, powered front windows and side mirrors, central locking and immobilizer, remote release for the boot; little luxuries on a small car. And of course, the Ghia badge along with exclusive alloy wheels that distinguished it from other Fiesta models.

All this definitely added up to value for money because it came at a good price and it definitely delivered more than what I paid for it.

As for performance, the 1.6 Duratec engine was a bit of a let-down; a screamer that you really have to push hard to get anything out of. This in turn, affected the economy of the car, which had a reported 10l/100km - very thirsty for such a small car.

I eventually traded it in for a 2013 Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Trend, which I don't own long enough to write a review about.
