None on here because they're pretty damn rare on the ground.

Haven't heard of any issues with them. But as already mentioned, they are quite rare.

To be honest i dont know how good or bad they are reliability wise. They would be good on fuel though for sure. I can vouch for my Petrol WT Zetec. And i did drive a Diesel Manual Zetec before buying and did think it was quite good. Went like the petrol i thought. Cant comment going up against a VW polo, but there will be some comparison reviews out there for sure.

Fiesta v Polo, most reviews will favour the VW. The jurno's seem to wowed by the Germanic "feel" of the Polo.
HOWEVER....... these reviews don't take running and repair costs into consideration. A VW is certainly not a car to own outside of warranty. Considering the Fiesta is a great driving car, super flexible and fuel efficient as a diesel and with Ford parts and service price/availability, I would be ruling out the Polo.

Understresed PSA engine last 300,000 kms if serviced reguarly ie oil, filters etc.
Manual gearbox and clutch no issues known quantity. Be a great little car if a bit slow from take off but extremely economical. |
