Default newbie

hello there, im new to this site stumbled across it reviewing ford focus and fiesta st.
i am in the process of seriously looking at a ford fiesta st 05 plate to purchase, can anyone give me a insight on them??? reliability, costs, performance etc and also when should a cam belt be changed on them as this has 39 thou on clock? should it be done before i purchase it?
dont want to jump in with 2 feet as never had a fiesta before let alone a st.
look forward to all your help and expertise

I've just remembered, there was an important notice on here to new members stating you had to post a pic of yourself when you join, something to do with a certain member called Phil and his numerous usernames. If you don't want to post it publically just PM me and I'll sort it for you.

I was seriously looking at a fiesta ST too, but then I looked at it in a comedy way and it was much better

Welcome to the site.

ST's are good cars, theres plenty on here with them, I'm sure they'll help you out with any of the foibles.
