Our 'New' Fiesta ST 150

[S77CCP]

As some of you know I recently sold my 172 to fund a house purchase, which is currently going through. At the same time my girlfriends parents have just taken delivery of their new Fiesta ST on motability no less! We're both insured to drive it and fingers crossed will have it once they have finished with it in a couple of years time. We had a good (although restricted as its only done 200 miles) blast around the B roads around Land End over the weekend and its a riot, obviously not on the pace of a 1*2 but not fair enough way to be boring.

Enjoy ford haters!

Cool... I test drove one of these before getting my 182.. I had a Zetec S at the time, but didnt really want another Fiesta again...

GDi is a bit of a long way from Cornwall, plus they don't do Fords.

 

[Daniel]

I really like these.

Although that is the worst colour i have seen! lol

 

[Englebert]

I think they look fine as long as they don't have stickers, but it's just obviously a young 'uns car. Interior is a big step up from the Clio.

[YorkshireDaz]

i really like them... more of a 'sensible' hot hatch which is good.

the seats however, are terrible.

I thought the seats was quite nice

Thinks she paid extra for these

I think they look good lowed etc.., but 0 - 60 in 7.9 secs is still abit slow for a "Hot Hatch" imho. If I had one I would have to add xtra power. God knows why Ford didn't add xtra as standard at the very being to compete with the 182/172, CTR etc.. at the time.

I do like the White and Blue strip versions though . Lets hope when Ford brings out the new Fiesta next year/year after they make something a bit faster...

You've missed the point they are insurance group 13.

Stoddie's white 1 is a weapon..

not too keen on the black or blue tbh

 

[Rob's172]

i like these, fills the gap between a hot hatch and a warm one

i had a look at some after i crashed the 172, they are really nice inside and made well

If the point is just a case of insurance group vs. performance, then maybe you have missed it Alex:

0-60 8.3 seconds and insurance group 8.

Its not just insurance versus performance Ford were targeting a bigger market by making it a warm hatch hence why they have sold so well, they were never intended to compete with the 182/ ctr etc.
Those C2 VTS's are insurance group 8, however they don't seem to be very cheap to insure when it comes down to getting a quote. My Lupo is a 13 and that was cheaper than a C2, its also marginally faster.

liking the ST mate, love performance blue too! ive had mine for about a month and still loving it!

 

[MattT]

Whey, another one to help fight the fight against the slating they get on here!
