The Ford Fiesta never falls far outside the UK's top five best-sellers list, and part of this stems from the sheer variety of engines and trim levels available. Fortunately, there's one model that we reckon gets the balance between style, power, comfort and economy just right. The Zetec may be the second rung on the Fiesta ladder but it still boasts 16-inch alloy wheels, a heated front windscreen, LED daytime running lights, a leather steering wheel and a 6.5-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. And that's on top of the air conditioning, lane-keeping assist, adjustable speed limiter and automatic headlights that come standard on every Fiesta. The Zetec brings far more than just the bare basics then, and is the least expensive model in the range to be offered with Ford's excellent 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine. More powerful than the larger 1.1-litre engine, the 99bhp EcoBoost is perky and responsive, achieving 0-62mph in a very respectable 10.5 seconds. A 113mph top speed makes it fuss-free when cruising at motorway speeds, too. Passengers will enjoy travelling in the Fiesta Zetec. Thanks to 16-inch wheels that are better at absorbing pothole shocks than the bigger wheels and low-profile tyres of models further up the range, it's one of the smoothest Fiestas in terms of ride quality. The latest model is far more spacious inside than previous versions, while its 292- litre boot should prove ample for the weekly shop A trundle to the supermarket barely scratches the surface of what the Fiesta can do, with only the SEAT Ibiza coming close to the handling of the Fiesta. The sensibly priced Zetec isn't miles behind the sporty Fiesta ST where it comes to fun at moderate speeds either. It's a very easy car to drive, and its responsive controls help drivers to build up confidence – great news for younger drivers
