WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: FORD FIESTA (2009 ONWARDS)

Let's start this by saying that the Fiesta is a good little car, though it's perhaps best to choose one with a manual gearbox.

This generational model's dual-clutch automatic-style transmission has been a big issue for Ford, and the subject of a Federal Court case that led to a big fine and the creation of an independent complaints review panel.

Problems with the transmission include shuddering on take-off, a sudden loss of drive and noises from the unit.

Ease the worries by opting for three pedals and a stick-shift and enjoy one of the best-driving city cars of all time.
