The start point for the best source of fleet information |

Driving the car is as much fun as ever, with dollops of great feedback communicating through the shapely steering wheel.
Whether powered by the all-new 120PS 1.6 Ti-VCT petrol or the lesser output 90PS 1.6-TDCi driven here, the Fiesta can easily pass other A-road stragglers with power to spare. Both engines are excellent.
Three lower-powered petrol engines and one smaller 1.4 diesel will be available from launch too. That diesel offers a lowly 110g/km CO2 figure plus 67.3mpg, while the highest-powered petrol, the 120PS 1.6, offers 139g/km CO2 and 47.9mpg. With an Econetic version of the diesel due by the end of 2008 with a class-leading 98g/km and 76.3mpg the new Fiesta has something for every fleet.
Judging by our Emmox Carcost number crunching the RV guides are similarly positive: only the Renault Clio beats the Fiesta partly due to a lower list price. But with the Fiesta's new bold looks we have a feeling that pecking order could soon be reversed. And for that reason it's 'our pick'.
