Default New Fiesta ST

Just read the review of it in EVO mag and well it only acheived a 3 outta 5 rating. They said it was gutless and they where not fans of the ride. Apparently ford used the 206 gti as a sort of comparision/base test as well as other cars to. The 206 gti is not a very good car either by all accounts. If you want to beat the best you study the best, why do they not use common sense and get hold of a clio cup, which is heralded as the best hot hatch there is.

Yeah, i was reading Whatcar yesterday and they slate it a bit, say engine really needs pushing to achive anything and cabin materials are extremly poor quality.

Hence why dealers are already offering a £2,000.00 saving and they aint even taking orders yet !!!

Doesn't look too shabby. I dont think it's aimed at being a hooners car,it's bit more refined.

ps. My mate wrote the review, the lucky git drives loadsa cars and reviews them for a living.
