Reviews

  • Mazda 2 Maxx 3-door hatch (2008)

    Shame the spunky, new-age Mazda 2 Maxx doesn't come with direct iPod connectivity. You do get a 3.5mm auxiliary jack and an MP3-capable six CD changer.

  • Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door automatic (2009, WS)

    Despite being the sportiest Fiesta, the Zetec automatic is still lumbered with the less powerful 1.4-litre engine. Maybe the Bluetooth hands-free, six-speaker stereo with USB and full complement of safety kit will make you feel better.

  • Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door manual (2009, WS)

    Five-doors plus Bluetooth hands-free, USB, six-speaker stereo, body kit and a full complement of safety kit equals the Fiesta Zetec. Oddly the sportiest Fiesta (so far) has no extra power.

  • Ford Fiesta Zetec 3-door manual (2009, WS)

    The sportiest of the new Fiestas doesn't have any extra power, but does include standard Bluetooth hands-free, USB slot, body kit and alarm.

  • Ford Fiesta LX 5-door manual (2009, WS)

    Upgrading to the LX nets you a six speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack for MP3 player connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control, alloy wheels and cruise control.

  • Ford Fiesta CL 5-door manual (2009, WS)

    Two extra doors means added practicality. Inside you'll still get a single CD player, steering wheel audio controls and an auxiliary jack for connecting to your favourite MP3 player.

  • Ford Fiesta CL 3-door manual (2009, WS)

    Entry-level the Fiesta CL manual may be, but it comes with ABS, front airbags, steering wheel audio controls and an auxiliary port for MP3 players.

  • Ford Fiesta LX 5-door automatic (2009, WS)

    Jump up to LX spec and you'll get power rear windows, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control and alloy wheels. You'll still get a smaller 1.4-litre engine with the auto though.
