In Review; Small Car Leasing the Ford Fiesta

Thanks to our personal car leasing customer, based in Newcastle, for sending through these amazing pictures of their new car – the Ford Fiesta Hatchback 1.0 Ecoboost 140 ST-Line Navigation 3dr Manual which was on an amazing special offer in February and March. The car’s configuration was based on the following:

· Shadow Black Metallic Paint
· Cloth – Charcoal Black
· 17” 8 spoke alloy wheels

The Ford Fiesta is the UK’s best-selling car, as it has been for many years. Appealing to the young driver looking for their first lease car (there are some great 1.25 and 1.0 petrol options), the higher mileage driver looking for something cost-effective to fuel (the 1.5TDCi offers exceptional MPG) and the older driver looking for that comfortable city-car to nip around in (consider the higher specification Titanium and Titanium X), the Fiesta is a universal and ambidextrous motor.

In terms of the car shown, the “ST-Line” is the latest upgrade to the specification on offer with the Fiesta and is a car which offers a more sporty-style to the end user – probably a young person’s car! As standard you get a Quickclear windscreen, tinted glass, hill start assist, navigation with DAB radio, electrically adjustable heated door mirrors, body-coloured bumpers and external features, LED lights, air conditioning, 17” alloy wheels and sports seats. In terms of additional factory options, consider privacy glass, cruise control, the city pack (folding mirrors and rear parking sensors) and the convenience pack (keyless entry) to make the complete car.

On the technical side, the 998CC 3-cylinger engine offers an amazing 140ps with this model. This propels the car to 62MPH in 9 seconds but offers a combined MPG of 62.8MPG. For the company car driver, this car has a P11d of £17,685.00 and CO2 of 104g/km. Servicing intervals are set at every 12 months or 12,500, whichever lands sooner.

The small (and cheap) car leasing market is a competitive one and while the Fiesta does still get a lot of credit, particularly when we have deals on them from £109 plus Vat (click here) it is safe to say that no one can rest on their laurels. With the VW Polo, Seat Ibiza, Peugeot 208, Citroen C3 and Skoda Fabia pushing forwards, makign a decision is definitely going to be a tough one.
