Looking to buy a Fiesta MK7. Which engine/spec?

[clio007]

Im looking to buy a used MK7 Fiesta for my mother. She does circa 2000 miles a year so hardly an miles so a diesel is out of the question.
Any thoughts on the most reliable engine and spec? I would prefer as many toys as possible such as full electrics, heated leather would be nice but for obvious reasons I wouldnt be fussed about bluetooth or an AUX port.

Quick search tells me the 1.0 eco boost looks good engine wise with £0 Tax but maybe not as reliable? Budget up to 5k which looks as though will get me in a 2014 model

You'll need a Titanium X for all round electric windows and heated seats as standard, both are available on a Titanium but are a pretty rare option.

Just picked up a 1.0 140 ST Line. Not exactly mum or granny spec but the engine is really good. As above the top trim spec should get you what you want. Worth a test drive as you may find the 125 or 100 rated version of the 1.0 good enough.
