The FORD FIESTA (2012-17) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.0 T ECOBOOST SS 100 EU6 ST-LINE is a small, three-door petrol hatchback, offering a sportier-looking take on one of the UK’s best-known superminis. It suits town driving and commuting, while its compact size makes parking and narrow streets easier than in a family-sized car. The 1.0-litre turbocharged engine gives this Fiesta a useful blend of easy-going performance and modest running costs, while ST-Line trim adds sporty details and a more purposeful feel. As a three-door, it is less convenient for regular rear-seat passengers than a five-door, but works well for singles, couples and first-time buyers wanting character. mycarcheck.com has logged 2,117 checks covering 911 VINs, giving a snapshot of the model. Cars average 49,000 miles, 11,000 miles a year and over two previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £6,700. Against rivals including the Vauxhall Corsa, the Fiesta is known for engaging handling and appeal.
