After seeing yet another Mk3 Fiesta today it got me wondering.
Has there been a 'better' cheap, old car than the Mk3 Fiesta? I'm not talking in terms of performance, handling, build quality, or anything like that, simply sheer ability to get you from A, to B, in the dry, without eventually falling to bits.
You hardly ever see loads and loads of stock Nova's around these days. 205's are getting very rare, cannot remember the last time I saw a Renault 5, etc etc.
Yet Mk3 Fiestas - of all ages - are still absolutely everywhere. I guess someone did something right when designing those.
Can anyone think of any other cars like this? Pointless thread, but I though it's about time we had some non-vitriolic discussion in Motors, so here is a nice thread about the innocent Fiesta
