Euro NCAP crash testing produces another round of strong results

WP FiestaApr 2004

WP Fiesta

As chunky as its curvy Ka predecessor wasn’t, the Fiesta finally flung Ford back into light-car contention in Australia.The model dates back three generations to 1976, when it took on European babies like the Renault R5 in the burgeoning light car/supermini class.Subsequent generations in 1988 and 1995 never made it locally, but Ford Australia finally deemed the Fiesta suitable for us when it acquired a larger 1.6-litre engine and conventional automatic transmission.New from the ground up, the German-built three and five-door hatchback (in base LX, sporty Zetec and luxury Ghia) rivals the class-leading Honda Jazz and Mazda2 for driver enjoyment, quality engineering, comfort and style – and is priced to also give the Hyundai Getz 1.5 and Holden Barina babies a run for their money.The Fiesta and Mazda2, by the way, are closely related underneath.Central to the Ford’s widespread appeal is a lusty (if a little loud) 74kW/146Nm 1.6-litre DOHC 16V four-cylinder engine, motivating a chassis that sits at the top of its class for steering, handling and ride comfort attributes.A driver-adaptive four-speed auto doesn’t detract from the dynamic pleasure, even if the slick-shifting five-speed manual is the preferable gearbox.Spacious, comfortable and versatile, the WP Fiesta outclasses the (Spanish-made) VW Polo and offered a more complete package than either the Citroen C3, Renault Clio or Peugeot 206.High praise indeed for a baby Ford, and one that deserves to succeed in Australia. It’s also a worthy successor to the underrated Ka.

GoAuto Search Words

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.

Please note: Due to the number of articles, searches may take a few moments to respond.
