Simple Cheap Carefree Car, is the Ford Fiesta an option?

Hello, a friend of mine wants to get a car after a very long abstinence again. He really only needs it to get from A to B. He not only has special demands that it should be robust and as cheap as possible in the maintenance. And it should also be very compact. I have at least convinced him that he should not get a really small nut pin but something with full 4 seats + trunk. His budget is 3500 euros. niger. I was looking for and came across this Fiesta. Is this what? So this generation of Fiestas in general? I know more about the cars from the 80’s 70’s and even older at Ford.
