The sixth generation Ford Fiesta was launched onto the European market in 2008, as production started at Ford's Cologne plant in Germany in August. It was a clear departure from its predecessor – much better looking, roomier, faster and more economical.
This American-branded supermini was actually developed in Germany, and as a result of extensive testing, it’s still got a strong reputation for reliability. It’s also the best selling car in Britain and has recently been eclared Used Car of the Year 2012 by CAP.

The arrival new Ford Fiesta which is technically a facelift means you’re more likely to get a better deal on used cars and the models still on dealer’s lots. Though we recommend you avoid the base 60 PS engine.

 “It is always tempting for the motoring media and other industry observers to take ‘the petrol head’ approach when giving awards to cars which excite them, but the CAP Used Car of the Year Award recognises the contribution a car makes to both consumers and dealers” said Mark Norman, of CAP.
