Ford Fiesta 1.3 (1995)

The introduction of the Fiesta Mk3, codenamed BE-13, strengthened the Fiesta's popularity, helped largely by the addition of a five-door version.

Sometimes considered[who?] the 'quintessential' Fiesta, this model had the longest production life of any Fiesta to date, and also achieved the highest yearly sales of any Fiesta in the early 1990s. The car's longevity meant it was the Fiesta that went through the most changes in its life. For example, the car had four different versions of standard steering wheels during its lifetime (the launch wheel, then updated in 1992, 1994 and 1995) and the most changes to standard UK trim levels of any Fiesta (examples across the years show the large line-up: Popular, Popular Plus, L, LX, Ghia, 1.6S, XR2i, RS Turbo, RS1800, Fiesta, LA, DL, SX, Azura, Si, Classic, Classic Quartz, Classic Cabaret). A Fiesta-derived van, the Ford Courier, was launched in 1991.

I had one of these once. Was using my classic car at that point as a daily drive so bought a fiesta as a cheap runabout to keep the mileage off the classic. The cheapest, oldest, most basic car I have ever owned. It was tatty and over 10 years old. I expected it to last 6 months. It went on for another 6 years, never let me down or gave me any expense. I sold it two years ago. It’s still going. Beside my classic, I had more respect for that tatty fiesta than other more expensive cars ive owned.

Ένας γνωστός μου είχε ένα τέτοιο αυτοκίνητο και όταν το πουλούσε, εγώ σκεφτόμουνα αν βγάλω δίπλωμα να το αγοράσω, αλλά το αγόρασε άλλος και δεν το πρόλαβα. Αν το αγόραζα θα το έβαζα φώτα ομίχλης μπρος - πίσω, τεμπέλη στο τιμόνι, εσωτερικά φώτα μπλακ λάιτ κλπ και σχάρα μεταφοράς ποδηλάτων.

@markdangerman same story hear, 1.3 from january '96. only 78000km (49000miles) on the clock! Rust is something you need to keep up with, but it is as reliable as hell.
