The FORD FIESTA (1999-02) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 FREESTYLE is a compact, three-door hatchback from a familiar UK supermini range. Easy to park and straightforward to drive, it offers more space than a tiny city car, while its 1.6-litre engine gives it a livelier character than basic Fiesta versions. Mycarcheck.com records 46 look-ups across 29 distinct VINs, a useful sample for this specific version. The cars checked averaged 88,000 miles on their latest recorded readings and 4,000 miles of annual use. Average private-sale valuation was £300, and previous keepers averaged about five. These averages are not a promise of current value or condition, so inspect maintenance carefully. The Fiesta suits first-time drivers, commuters and budget-minded owners; the three-door layout is less handy for rear-seat access. Compared with a Vauxhall Corsa, it is known for handling, familiar controls and easy parts availability, making this Freestyle a nimble, practical choice among small hatchbacks.
