Used Ford Fiesta cars for sale

In Europe the Ford Fiesta hatchback is one of the biggest selling bodystyles. Ford marketed this popular hatchback as far back as the 80's and has never looked back. Since then the Ford Fiesta has grown with the times and is now in its 5th generation and design.

Sporty models like the Ford Fiesta Zetec S takes its name from the engine which appeared in 1992, powering the fourth generation of the European Ford Escort and Orion.

The Mark one Fiesta was launched in 1976. It was also a breakthrough for Ford as it was its first truly successful front wheel drive car. It was also the first new Ford car since the Ford Granada five years earlier. The first generation Fiesta was also a "world car", an "Americanised" version being sold in the United States from 1978 to 1980 where it was called a sub-compact car.

The Fiesta's small size prompted American management to invest in what would become the Mk III Escort. Mechanically, the Fiesta followed tradition, with an end-on four-speed transaxle mounted to a new version of the Ford Kent overhead valve engine dubbed "Valencia", named after the brand new Spanish factory developed especially to produce the new car. Ford's plants in Dagenham, England and Cologne, Germany were also used to manufacture Fiestas.
