Can the entry-level Fiestas still impress? Steve Walker checks out the 1.25-litre range.

Ten Second Review
The bottom end of the Ford Fiesta range isn't the place to go if you're after the performance that will let you make the most of the car's slick driving experience. The 1.25-litre petrol models aren't quick. What they are is comparatively cheap, economical, spacious and well-designed. That should be more than enough if all you want is an urban runabout.
