I would agree with this as well, the ride does get harder as you move to the Zetec-S and the ST, but then again you would expect that. I always thought that the 1.25 was brilliant in the previous Fiestas but I really don't think that it's gutsy enough for a bigger and heavier chassis of this generation. I was also surprised at how much room is in the back of these and in the boot.Kappa said:I've got an 06 model, its just a lowly Zetec, but the 1.25 really surprises me compared to a 1.6 focus, really nippy and really comfy but the ride is a tiny bit hard, but very responsive. Look really nice too. Cant imagine how much more nippy a zetec s or an st would be lol! It has really nice touches with the in dash computer, the interior seems well made (apart from the plastic of the glove box!), the 'one shot down' windows dont do a one shot up, if you know what I mean, that can be annoying.
Had a hard time finding a good driving position, but im fine with it now, great visibility and very easy to drive, + theres loads of space in the back compared to other minis.

Glad you liked the ST dude, knew you would The Zetec-s isn't far off in all fairness, although the 1.6 tdci is only 90bhp so i'm guessin it's a bit gutless, go for the petrolDavid _b said:Well just had a play with some fiestas today. a 1.4, 1.6 tdci zetec s and the st150. They didnt have a zetec s 1.6 petrol so dont know what its like, does anyone know how it compares to the 1.6 tdci zetec s ?
The st150 was amazing and i can afford it and want it so much but insurance just is not possible
any reccomendations on colour ? Im tempted to get the zetec s in white and add the st150 stickers in blue.
