Have currently got Y-reg (2001) Ford Fiesta Ghia, 1.6l 16v, on 65,000 miles, have just comprehensively scratched the driver's door due to an unfortunate incident involving gale force winds, fence panels and paving slabs. Looking for something a bit newer...
The new Fiestas don't look too nice, but I could be convinced if there're any higher-end models as I have a commute to work where the
1.6 is a huge advantage where it's possible to overtake, and nothing sluggish will do. Probably doing under 20,000 miles a year though, and need nothing too huge.I also appear to be paying less than £300 for the insurance at the moment, so that will need a bit of consideration.
Looking for something FUN to drive as well. Any ideas? Cheap maintenance would also be an advantage. Needn't be a Ford, as the current car has one or two problems I could do without.
