18000quid!!! fuck me sideways!! think of the gorgous rs500 you could of had for that money i'd say you been done in more that one hole!
There is no way on earth you've driven a "few" Zetec S Fiestas if you think they "never handle well". If you have, then you need driving lessons mate!
This is how Evo describe the handling -
"A stiffer structure allows firmer suspension without ruining the ride, an approach obvious the first time you turn the steering wheel into an exciting-looking bend. If you’re in a Zetec S, with the handling-biased suspension settings, you’ll feel the sort of instant, precise and proportional response that makes you click with your machine. More steering movement brings an exact amount of extra turning, with understeer right off the agenda, and trimming the throttle does the same thing to the turning radius.
It has the firm but controlled ride of a truly rigid car calibrated by people who love driving, it leans hardly at all, and both brakes and five-speed gearbox work exactly as you would like them to. "
Oh, and it's actually lighter than the Mk6 too.
