Fiesta. Also known as a party. And that’s what owners of the Ford Fiesta have had over the years, because it has routinely been one of the most enjoyable, best-driving superminis out there.
It's long one of the most popular cars in the UK, so you likely either own a Fiesta, or know someone who does. Owners range from younger drivers just getting their first car, to those in their golden years who are looking for a smaller vehicle that’s easy to handle. Or maybe you are an urban dweller or business user. Whoever you are and whatever your needs, the Fiesta has been a practical and cost effective choice.

But alas, the party now seems over, because Ford has ceased production of the car. However, that does not mean you need to stop having a good time. If you want to keep the party going, then it’s a great idea to carry out maintenance, repairs or servicing jobs yourself.
Carrying out regular maintenance checks and being able to do repair or servicing jobs yourself, can save you hundreds of pounds per year and give you more time to, well, party. Sound good? Then keep on reading.
