Ford’s Fiesta diesel range has it all: great looks, amazing driving attributes and a healthy regard for your pocket.

 The Ford Fiesta is still one of the best cars Ford has ever produced, and is currently our reigning supermini class champion.  And every model in its range still manages to eclipse rivals like the Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Polo thanks to its sleek looks, sparkling driving experience, low running costs and practical cabin.

The Fiesta has certainly helped Ford stay top of the UK’s new car sales chart, with its competitive pricing, attractive finance plans and generous equipment levels across the range.  And what’s more it has a good choice of economical diesel engines to choose from too.  Ford’s latest 74bhp 1.5TDCi puts out 185Nm of torque and emits 98g/kms of Co2 and is available on all but the Zetec S and Titanium X models.  Or opt for the more powerful and punchier 1.6 TDCI  94bhp which gives you an extra 15Nm of torque to play with at 200Nm and it has slightly lower emissions - 95g/km .

This diesel engine option is available across the whole range excluding Fiesta’s sporty ST models.  But if you want the most economical and frugal Fiesta diesel, plump for our favourite Ford’s very popular ECOnetic model.  Automatic stop/start technology is standard so reduces the Co2 to just 85g/kms making it one of the cleanest superminis in its class.  And with no road tax to pay on any of the Fiesta diesel models its also one of the cheapest to run.

The Fiesta diesel comes in both three and five-door guises and depending of which model you choose gets a host of standard equipment such as body-coloured heated door mirrors, manual air-conditioning, electric front windows and a CD radio with USB connection.  The Fiesta diesel also boasts seven airbags, which helps give it a five-star Euro NCAP rating.

However the Ford Fiesta isn’t perfect: the interior is still blighted by some cheap plastics, and while its entry price of £13,695 for the Style 1.5TDCi is tempting, the figure can rise quickly when you start adding some of the optional safety equipment. But whichever Ford Fiesta diesel you go for, the baby Ford is a talented all-rounder that stands head and shoulders above the rest of the supermini class.

Few superminis can rival the Ford Fiesta for style and street cred. A rakish profile and bold details mean it packs plenty of visual punch – but Ford’s trademark gaping grille looks a little heavy-handed in this case.
