"The 2017 Ford Fiesta Hatchback 1.0 EcoBoost Zetec 5dr is a brilliant mix of everyday practicality and fun-to-drive character. A firm favourite among UK drivers, the Fiesta continues to impress with its refined design, nimble handling, and economical engine. Powered by a 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, this Zetec trim strikes a perfect balance between efficiency and punchy performance. With 100PS on tap, it offers a lively driving experience while still managing to return impressive fuel economy - often reaching up to 65mpg in real-world conditions. Whether you're navigating tight city streets or cruising on the motorway, the Fiesta feels composed and responsive. Inside, the cabin is well laid out and easy to get comfortable in. The Zetec trim includes key features like a heated windscreen, DAB radio, 15-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, and Ford's SYNC infotainment system with Bluetooth and voice control - all adding to a well-rounded, user-friendly driving experience. Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. The 5-door layout makes rear access simple, and the 290-litre boot provides ample space for day-to-day tasks. Fold down the rear seats, and you'll find it surprisingly roomy for a compact hatch. Safety is strong too, with multiple airbags, electronic stability control, and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, giving drivers and passengers peace of mind. For first-time drivers, commuters, or anyone after a smart, reliable runabout, the 2017 Ford Fiesta Zetec offers real value. Its blend of affordability, low running costs, and the renowned fun factor of the Fiesta name makes it a solid choice - and one that continues to stand out even years after its release. Whether it's your first car or just a dependable daily driver, this hatchback won't disappoint."
