Hey guys,
Im looking at buying a used fiesta and wondering if anyone jas good/bad experiences with the lx turbo diesel. There's not many around but a couple between $10-11.5k with 50-70000kms Otherwise there is a 2011 zetec wt auto 70000kms for sale in my town, id rather go manual though. There is also a 2012 fiesta lx wt manual with 55000kms. Not sure what would be the best purchase. Thanks |

Can't get the diesels in auto, manual only.
Also avoid the auto at all costs in the petrol models WT. I have never heard any horror stories from the Diesels, but not many were bought here. Might be best to look on UK forums for any issues.

A petrol manual Fiesta. Reliable, still great on fuel and you'll get a higher spec for less money.
The diesel is no doubt great, but probably not worth the bother.

Get a little more money and buy a new petrol one. You'll get 3 years warranty and it will have more features than the older models. Look after it and you'll get 10 years out of it.
Don't buy the auto. |
