Ford now has a van range that demands respect and the little Fiesta is no exception.

Bang based on the acclaimed passenger vehicle always helps and the driving qualities that garnered this praise remain intact on crossover.

The 1.4 TDCI unit spins freely while remaining in the background, even when pushed, and is nicely mated to the slick five-speeder, allowing you to get the best out of the engine.

It corners with confidence, even when fully loaded payload is 494kg -and on the motorways stays calm and composed.

It also has load volume credentials to match: both length and height are classleading, while a wide rear hatch allows easy access.

Upfront, you get decent ergonomics though the overall presentation could do with a little colour to brighten it up. Dark plastics abound and it feels a little spartan.

LIKES AND DISLIKES...
