Default New Fiesta ST

Picked up my new car last week and have been very impressed with it so far.
Before this I had the MK7 1.6TDCI which I loved but it just wasn't powerful enough.

So far so good...... looking forward to trying on track

They go very well in a straight line and feel great round a track too. Very composed and good traction, especially compared to a new Focus ST.

Virtually no wheel spin or torque steer either!

The Fiestas are 180bhp but have a 197bhp overboost function when you floor the throttle! It works too!

No need, its quicker than a new clio anyway and anybody comparing a brand new car to a ten year old reanault is a spastic any way

The 197 overboost is almost permanent too. It lasts for 20 secs. Which is a long time, but then if you remove power for 1sec and plant it again, you get another 20 secs. Rinse and repeat!
Good times!

Sounds like you were to me as the new Clio is slower round a timed lap

So I fail to see why you'd recommend to buy a Clio instead unless you were attempting to compare to the old Clio that you happen to have in your profile name

Your call prick
