hi mate, if you look at both cars from standard the fiesta is very poor in deed, the high ratio gearbox thay put in the frst is just to high and the t2 gets right on my tits comin on boost to quick and running out of boost to early, the erst is right in every way , i think if ford had put alot more into the frst it cud of been a great car but to many things let it down

iv got a mint frst that cost me £4,300 so its a perfect car.. but after driving both the erst is in a diff class
i think you need to spend alot of money on changing the gearbox over and putting a t3 on but its the genral ride when driven hard the frst strugles, but the erst will do this all from standard
