Yeah they shouldv'e just shortened Zetec S to ZS then the sporty models would all have 2 letter designations with an S in them (ZS/ST/RS). It does seem perfect for a daily so far, fast enough but not 'fast', cheap to insure, good MPG etc.
Cheers, it should look really nice in the sun. It's been really cloudy since I got it though.
It does seem to be the 'in' thing doesn't it as Vauxhall have the VX Line too. I think all the models in the Ford range will eventually get an ST-Line variant.
It's got a few less toys because the Metal was specced up fully, this does have Sync2 though which is a lot better than the Sync1 in the metal. The voice commands etc are supposed to be much better. To drive it's not much different. Power delivery is a bit smoother as to get the best out of the...
I just got my new car today, a Fiesta ST-Line in Candy Red. The ST-Line replaces the Zetec-S, it has a few differences such as dark headlining, different seat fabric and comes with a 100ps, 125ps or 140ps 1.0 ecoboost. Mine is the 125ps version. It's also got the city pack which is parking...
I suppose this goes in here, my brother-in-law has a Focus RS for the next couple of days through work. He took me out for a quick blast in it, it's pretty rapid and sounds nice too (I couldn't drive due to the insurance:disappointed:).

The thing is, despite it having a s**t chassis, sagging headlining, no parts available etc I would have another if I would trust it to actually keep going. It eventually kept cutting out at traffic lights etc so I part-exed it for a Ford Puma, just in case that counts as an old skool hatch...
Needs gullwing doors and funky graphics. :wink:
Nearest I've gotten to driving a muscle car is when I rented this V6 Camaro when I visited a mate in Phoenix.
My first car, an MG Maestro 2.0i. It had a 8 valve 2.0 engine with 115bhp, it was geared for acceleration though as 0-60 is around 8.5 seconds. It torque steered like a b**ch though, man that chassis was bad, I can't imagine how much of a pig the Maestro Turbo is to drive!
It had the Maestro...
