as for bs, it is. he said it was 4th not 3rd. would need a lot of power to get that and it wasnt That quick at all.
you must have watched/seen/been in a ropey zs then

you must be blinkered in some manner to think a french citroen saxo with pedals too close together (which is asking for trouble really) is a 'better car' than a mk5 fiesta zetec-s.
I know what one id rather own.
My brother has owned a 106 gti for years and im sorry but there is no way your anywhere close to it at any speed in a mk5 zs especially at 105mph! In fact every time I have a drive of it I've forgotten how quick it is for what it actually is.
I'll agree a zs is not a bad car to drive, not sure if its as good as a vts/gti, and I'd hardly call them better built. Almost every mk5 fiesta you see still on the road is a completely wanked out rot box
