► Summary
The main advantage of the old Fiesta is the low price. A functional car can be bought for a few thousand. Not an ideal family vehicle (even if only for the lack of a 5-door version), but for a poor student it may turn out to be just right. Despite the durability, you have to reckon with frequent visits to workshops.
