FRST over a S2. But a series 1 wins overall

In my opinion rs1600i > frst > s2 > xr2i > xr3 > xr3i > s1

Really dont see the appeal in a s1 rst to be honest!

Series 1 if you can afford one, I'd be tempted to get a fiesta.

which is the best handling out of the box? ive never had the fiesta but heard the escort has the better handling potential. efi engine has to be better for upping the power to a certain extent. its a shame the fiesta didn't get the t3, the t2 has to be a waste of time surely other than lighting fast spool up

frst for me as its rarer and looks better, S1 is the nicest of rst models but still would not have one

What do you want if for?
Track fiesta
Fast road s2
Show S1

Even tho as said the s1 makes a better car all round I won't want to ruin on by tracking or dailying it

I had Frst, s1 and s2, love all of them but for me s1, frst and s2 in that order. Frst got advantages due to the efi set up but frst is rarer and much cheaper than an s1.

Thanks.Lee.
