Would a Ford Fiesta 1.25 be suitable as a second car for commuting?
Can you help? I have about £1500 to spend on a second car for work. I do about 50 miles a day and I was originally looking out for either a Nissan Almera or a 1.25 Ford Fiesta, something reliable and fun. Am I on the right lines or have you any other alternatives?

Yes, 1.25 Fiestas have quite a good reputation. Just watch out for rot in the rear wings and in the 'A' pillars.
