2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4 Titanium Hatchback 5-door Petrol Manual

Description

So, I’ve had this 2009 Ford Fiesta for a few years now – bought it new back in the day, and it’s honestly held up pretty well. It’s a 1.4-litre petrol engine with 94 bhp, not the fastest car on the road, but it’s got enough oomph to get you where you need to go without much fuss. Top speed’s about 109 mph, and it takes roughly 12.2 seconds to go from 0 to 60 – not flashy, but smooth enough for daily drives.

It’s a manual, which I love – gives you a bit more control, especially when you’re driving in the city or on winding roads. Front-wheel drive means it handles well, even on bumpy surfaces. The mileage is 57,355 – not low, but not bad for its age. I’ve kept it well maintained, so it’s still running fine.

The body’s sea grey with a metallic finish – looks sharp in the sun, and it hides dirt a bit better than you’d expect. It’s a hatchback, so the rear seats are easy to access, which is handy if you’ve got kids or friends coming over. The interior has black Fairland fabric upholstery, which is comfy and not too flashy. Five doors, five passengers – no issue for family trips or weekend getaways.

I’ve got 16-inch 7-spoke alloy wheels – they’re a bit sporty, not overdone, and they help with grip. The car’s got Bluetooth hands-free and voice control, so you can make calls or play music without taking your hands off the wheel – useful when you’re stuck in traffic.

One thing I’ve noticed: it’s ULEZ compliant, so I don’t have to worry about extra charges when driving in central London or other low-emission zones. That’s a real plus for city living.

Road tax is £195 a year, and insurance is reasonably priced – I’ve kept it in good shape, so it’s not a big cost. The car’s been in Liverpool, Liverpool City Region, since I moved here, and I’ve actually loved how it fits in with my routine.

I’m not selling it because I need the cash – just because I’ve upgraded to something newer and it’s time to part with it. It’s been a solid companion through years of work, travel, and just getting around.

If you're thinking of looking at it, I’d be happy to chat – no pressure, just a real talk about what it’s like to drive and how it fits into your life. Viewing is by appointment only, and I’m happy to answer any questions.

P.S. I’ve got a Customer Protect warranty in place – covers minor repairs and helps with unexpected issues. It’s not perfect, but it gives me peace of mind knowing I’m not out of pocket if something goes wrong.

Let me know if you’re interested – I’ll be honest, it’s not flashy, but it’s reliable and still has that classic Fiesta charm.
