My Blue Fiesta

_Tom · Jun 23, 2014

Had a good play with one of these yesterday. I do like them. Look planted round the bends.

RDH · Jun 23, 2014

My only gripe at the minute is the ride quality round town is abit naff. That and my CC doesn't seem to be working.

Reev · Jun 23, 2014

Yeah I agree about the ride being slightly harsh on uneven roads, that's probably the only negative I can think of. It really is a great little car.

RDH · Jul 19, 2014

Smaller plate and splitter fitted.

I was wondering how you were getting on with it. Looks even better with the splitter.

Poopensharten · Jul 19, 2014

Looks great mate!

CageyJ0nnY · Jul 19, 2014

Splitter makes a fantastic difference! :approve:

Ordered my st3 in blue today! Specced reversing sensors too

RDH · Jul 19, 2014

Really enjoying it so far!

And despite it only being a relatively small car, i really do miss my parking sensors. The back is abit of a pain to see out of and judge distances.

Dear santa...

chris_p · Jul 19, 2014

That looks great!

MarkCup · Jul 19, 2014

To those saying they're firm...compared to a Cup equipped 200?

Mine was a non-Cup 200 and my ST only feels marginally firmer.

I had a 200 Cup, so will be interesting to compare

Looks good!

Scrooge · Jul 20, 2014

Splitter and small plate look brilliant! I was really hoping I could get mine and just leave it alone. Doesn't look like that'll be happening, the list is growing daily ffs

Matthew · Jul 20, 2014

I've had no issues with the ride what-so-ever.

Joe# · Jul 20, 2014

Top work. I'm quite tempted by the G2L deal.

Don't get me wrong it certainly isn't slow. No doubt my engine also has a fair but more loosening up to do.

I'm not an enormous fan of the back of the car myself. But I only see that when I clean it so I can live with it.

They noticeably loosen up as the 1k's clock up

DrR · Jul 20, 2014

Mine will get a V-Max run within first 500 miles, so hoping that helps hehe.

Matthew · Jul 20, 2014

I ran mine on v-power for the first 2000 miles or so.

It's back to normal Shell/BP stuff now though.

DrR · Jul 20, 2014

They sell 3 types of petrol out here, hadn't given it a thought actually.

edit: 4 actually!

RDH · Jul 24, 2014

I really do love the front end now.

Ray Gin · Jul 24, 2014

These have definitely grown on me now.

Scrooge · Jul 24, 2014

That's perfected the front end

RDH · Jul 24, 2014

I have put a smaller plate on the back (standard height, 60mm off the length) but I can't be bothered taking any pictures of it. Tidys up the rear alot though, even tho I'm still not a massive fan of it from the back.

Scrooge · Jul 24, 2014

I've always preferred the rear to the front, the subtle changes above have made me change my mind

RDH · Jul 24, 2014

3/4 plate will never get out of my blood I don't think

F*cking beautiful. What dimention is the front plate, assume fancyplates?

RDH · Jul 24, 2014

Standard length and 85mm height! Fancyplates are top notch, used them so many times!

Scrooge · Jul 24, 2014

Is it wrong to buy plates for a car you don't own yet?

RDH · Jul 24, 2014

No! I'd do it now as it took me a month to be arsed ordering mine as I was going on holiday. I despise GB number plates so even if I'd of got standard size I was still binning them. Thought I'd try the 3/4 while I was at it and it looks spot on.

Matthew · Jul 25, 2014

The splitter is the must have accessory for these.

Love the front end of mine now.

RDH · Aug 10, 2014

Just ticked over to 1000 miles. Feels like it is loosening up alot more now and the MPG. Averaging 37mpg which I'm happy with as I only do short trips and barely use the motorway. Certainly alot better than the 17/18 MPG I used to get!

Matthew · Aug 10, 2014

Brilliant cars. People keep coming upto me and asking about mine!

Never had that before, with anything Ive had.

clarkey23 · Aug 10, 2014

Mines ticked over 3000 miles, only tend to do short trips mainly to work averaging 32mpg which is pretty much similar to my old 172

Matthew · Aug 10, 2014

FYI; went to Leeds and back today (36 miles) and from home to home it did 47 mpg which is bloody fantastic for a 200hp hot hatch IMO.

DrR · Aug 10, 2014

you've had it 2 months and only done 1000 miles!!! I'm on 1800 and i've had it two weeks!

High speed motorway cruising ruins my MPG

Keep it below 60 and the mpg is fantastic.

I agree my mileage barely warrants a car tbh but I like having my own transport. Its saving me money while I purchase my first house. Once the two years are up I'm 25 and intend on doing my bike license. The plan is to buy a 600 superbike for the week and a MK2 Focus RS for the garage/weekend.

Washington · Aug 10, 2014

I'm in a kinda similar position, I did a whole 2k in the 12 months previous, so don't really need a car, however since getting the Fister I've done 3k in 3 months. Wondering whether 8k annually is going to be enough now.

Iain C · Aug 11, 2014

colour is spot on. Would get keyed to fuk out side my house sadly tho.
