The Fiesta is done. We will not see its like again.
What to say about the Fiesta? Nothing that hasn’t been said already, that’s for sure. The car was with us for nearly 50 years. For some of those decades, its status as Britain’s best-selling car seemed almost unassailable.
Like the Volkswagen Golf, the car did a pretty good job of defying class distinctions. Perhaps it didn’t share the Golf’s knack of appearing at home against any backdrop, but for years it featured on many more long gravel driveways than you might imagine - additional evidence that it was simply considered the go-to model when someone wanted a practical small car that would do its job uncomplainingly and without fuss.
The result of the exhaustive and hugely costly project ‘Bobcat’, the transverse-engined hatchback was an instant hit. It was decent to drive, impressively spacious , cheap to mend and good to look at. Ford built and sold it globally. By the time a second generation appeared in the early ‘80s, it already had the feel of another Blue Oval dynasty, and subsequent versions would often vie with the Escort for the title of Britain’s biggest-selling car.
