Ford Fiesta hatchback (2017 - )

The Ford Fiesta needs very little introduction, being the UK’s best-selling car. That mantle didn’t happen by accident, either, because not only is the Fiesta one of the most popular small cars there is, it’s also one of the best. It has to be to fend off competition from exceptionally good rivals like the Seat Ibiza and Volkswagen Polo among many, many others. Click here for our impressions of life with the Ford Fiesta in our long-term review.

Our expert review

See what our expert review team say about this car

The Fiesta is more expensive to buy than you might expect, although it does have pretty strong resale values which help to offset that. Fuel economy is broadly in line with rivals like the VW Polo and Seat Ibiza, as are expected service, maintenance and repair costs. We expect the Polo and Fiesta to perform in a very similar manner when it comes to overall long-term running costs, and the strong resale values help to elevate both of those over other rivals. The Polo might slightly edge it when it comes to overall costs, but there's unlikely to be much in it.
