Check out the small-cars section under Fiesta and KA (: Plenty of guy's there who'll help you.

I bought it mainly because it's used as a daily car for going to uni and back (saves petrol) and on top of that, it looks great (:

The fiesta is a great little car.
The LX comes in the 3dr or 5dr config.
its 1.6ltr engine that puts out 74kw @ 6000rpm and 146Nm @ 4000rpm.
Standard Features on the LX include
Air Con, CD Player, Driver and Passenger Airbags, Front Power windows, power mirrors, remote keyless central locking with immobiliser .
Auto models come standard with ABS and EBD and it can be optioned on to the Manual models. Manual models come standard with an Aux audio port to plug in a MP3 player. The Fiesta has a 45 ltr fuel tank and the manual averages 6.6ltrs per 100km while the auto does 7.5 ltrs per 100km.

The fiesta runs front disc brakes and rear drums; the auto’s also have grade logic control. All seats have lap sash seatbelts as well as adjustable head restraints. When not used the rear head restraints can sit flush on the seat to give better visibility.

While we have the LX as our entry model other country’s have a model below it so the fiesta LX is well equipped as the entry model.

Fiesta is a dynamic and enjoyable car to drive, its known as the “drivers car” of its class for the way it handles and feels.
I’ve driven it competition and while the fiesta has less power in writing it feels gustier and far better planted on the road then the yaris or 2.

Hope this has helped.
