Thinking about it - 19/5/08 at 08:42 AM

I'm looking for a Fiesta for my daughter.
Anyone know of any weaknesses or anything specific to look for on the 1.25 Zetec engine.

Thanks

As already said, they are very nippy for a 1.25, just keep your eye on the oil level as they can be prone to picking up on the cams if the level is low, apart from that lovely little motors.
