They were mid table on confused.com for me but managed to knock it down on the phone.

What I found out (that you may or may not know) is that fiesta zetecs are group 6 insurance (1.6 zetec s for example is only group 8 iirc?)....so you might be able to get something a bit quicker for £200 more premiumwise...which may make it less bad!

Fiestas, for what they are...are quite high up the groups really for how crappy they are...considering kas etc are really low groups.
