Ford stays ahead of pack with ‘The One’’

The Ford Fiesta is the king of the supermini heap and — realistically — it has been for many of the 40 or so years the Blue Oval has been making it.

Sure, things like the VW Polo, the Toyota Yaris, the Nissan Micra and many others have tried to usurp it down the years, but the Fiesta has traditionally held sway — and for good reason.

It was perhaps a little unfortunate that the latest iteration of the car only arrived mid-way through Ford’s Centenary Year here in Ireland and in Cork in particular.
