Possibly. But then I wouldn’t really be in the market for either - I’m just throwing out ideas. Swifts are good little cars.
Edit: you appear to need rather more for a Fiesta of a similar age, although it’s a more powerful car.
Second edit: to add summary by niche car mag "evo" (including some comparisons against the Fiesta ST)

These are cheap as chips now and their good fun if you can handle the ride and aren't planning to do thousands of motorway miles.

Did.
But a blue 5dr as it's smarter and more practical (but also more ££s).

Normally replies to this kind of thread need to a) ignore one or more criteria and b) recommend your own car.
So the answer is clearly a '66 Galaxie.
