Picture Of Ford Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta Mk3, first produced in 1989, is by far the most popular and longest-lasting Fiesta model to date, with production continuing until 1997 -- an eight-year reign. The highest sales years for the Ford Fiesta were the early 1990’s, with the introduction of fuel-injection engines to the line. Airbags became available to the Ford Fiesta in 1994 for the first time, as well as restructuring of the body and frame to make the vehicle safer in collisions.


The Mk4 was introduced in 1995 and sales skyrocketed in Britain for the next three years. Ford used heavy Italian car influences in the new design, which utilized the same Mk3 chassis, but incorporated a much better suspension package. Engines were available in 1.25 liter and 1.4 liter sizes and were known as the Zetec line. There was also a diesel motor which featured an overhead cam design. This model of the Ford Fiesta was offered by Mazda, and called the 121 or Soho, depending on location of release. The Mk4 was produced for four years, from 1995 to 1999.
