I bought a '00 Ford Fiesta (1.25 Zetec) at the end of 2008 and I'm still waiting to be let down by it in some way. Was told back then that they were "boringly reliable" by the dealer and was given the same verdict by my mechanic after a check-up just last week.

I'm looking to shift it soon (as I'm emigrating to S. Korea shortly) for something fairly close to the price range you mentioned. Placing an advert online this week but would be happy to tell you more via PM if you like?
