Hi all

Any fiesta van drivers here? What do you think of it?

I’m considering it as a company car for the very low BIK, but don’t actually need a van. Anyone else run one as a car for tax purposes?

Cheers ,

I've had several as company cars. Comfortable enough, great on fuel, less rattly than the Astras.

Are they quite go kart like or do they behave like a regular fiesta? Which I guess is quite go kart like.

Lol, yup, pretty go-kart like. The 1.6 is torquey enough to have a bit of fun in. They handle well too. There's not much else to have to benefit from low BIK other than the Corsa and they are boring as fk and really won't get you anywhere fast.

1.6 TDCI is what I’m considering. The alternative is a 1.5 TFSI A3 or Golf, but I’m wondering if the extra £3k in tax and fuel is really worth it. Plus, I can get my bike in the back of the Fiesta and not care! Downside, it’s a manual.
