Used Ford Fiesta ZETEC for sale

What is the Ford Fiesta Zetec?

The Ford Fiesta Zetec used to be a car that offered more performance over the standard car, but modern iterations (post-1998) mean instead you get more stylistic changes such as 15-inch alloy wheels, front foglights and more chrome.

This is to ensure it's more premium than the standard car, and this makes a world of difference on a day-to-day basis.

The Zetec name was first used by Ford on its four-cylinder engines in the early '90s, and then in 1998, it became a trim level that offered sportier looks.

What are the Ford Fiesta Zetec specs?

A secondhand Fiesta Zetec is powered by a choice of three engines: a 1.0-litre three-cylinder; a 1.1-litre three-cylinder; and a large 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine. These are mated to either an automatic or manual gearbox driving the front wheels.

Fuel economy ranges depending on the engine you have. Petrol cars will return between 40.4mpg and 57.6mpg, while those with the larger diesel engine will return between 54.3 and 65.7mpg.

To drive, a used Fiesta Zetec is exactly how it should be – smooth, easy and responsive. Whether you're a new driver or a well-seasoned motorist, there's no reason why you shouldn't consider one.
