Russ , the 182 is a better car , but due to fashion accessories like fat wheels and thick steering wheels a lot is lost in translation. The Zetec , is much organic in its driving experience with its dainty 14'' wheels and unfashionably thin bland steering wheel .Strange thing is we didn't get the Fiesta Zetec S with a 16v motor , we got it with a 8v 100bhp motor.
I guess I miss the Fiesta more on nostalgia value , more than anything else
Happy to start a new chapter in my motoring life.
