Decided I will get a 1.25 Zetec Fiesta ghia


60 mpg on a run, 40 mpg urban, cheap insurance and tax and fast enough for a beater

Plus a luxurious interior

Not a bad choice.

If I didn't need the extra space I'd probably have gone for something like that over the Mondeo.

Make sure you get a nice 3.5" tail pipe.

I'm still happy with the Clio as my runabout. Renewed my car tax last night for the year. A whopping
