TAFKARM Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 To be fair John, as much as I think you should have bought a Diesel, i've nt tried the new Fiestas but back in my yoof I had a MY2000 Fiesta Zetec S (rest in pieces) that was an absolute hoot to drive even with only 100 bhp or so and taught be all about lift off o/s. Proper wheel at each corner fun. Interior was rubbish though. 1 Quote

Proper wheel at each corner fun. Interior was rubbish though. Couldn't agree more. Interior is really Fischer Price, but I dont care. I just want to drive the wheels off the b*******. If you sped most of your life stuck in traffic, having a nice interior and gadgets to play with does help (we are talking Audi here). But if you are only in it when you are up for fun. Who cares. And lift of o/s, got to love it and this little thing delivers by the bucket. It does dangler a wheel as well..! Quote
Rhett Turner - Black Country AO Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I guess you'll be joining the Fiesta ST Owners club now and frequenting their forums Quote

Mighty Mart Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 IMHO nice interiors aren't free, just adds to the cost of a car. Phrases such as 'a nice place to be' hardly apply if you are having a hoot at 8 or 9 tenths lol.... Horses for courses - lots of miles to do and nice interior is probably more important than performance... My eldest has an ST2 Fiesta and it's very capable. Mart. 1 Quote

Very true, if you are on two wheels and your door handles are brushing the hedges, its probably not a good time to be admiring the finger trace recognition capabilities of the MMI system 1 Quote

Captain Colonial Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Argh.... Got to wait to Monday... Wasn't any of my doing, promise. Quote
John K Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 Wasn't any of my doing, promise. Not sure... the sales guy did say something about having to retro fit a diesel engine.... Apparently the request appeared on the computer last night, came from a Secret Volcano Lair or something... Quote

dhutch Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 No driven an ST, but out of the hire-boxes I got for going to the airport with work the Fiesta (1l ecoboost?) was one of the more fun to drive. Really wanted a Zuc Swift as delhi (where I was flying to-from) was full of them, but compared to the Renault offering (one of the worst) but even an a-class certainly a nice car. Daniel Quote
