Hey all I have been lurking here for a while now so thought it was time to post. I was intially getting a Fiesta ST but saw the facelifted
Ibiza FR in zenith grey
, and thought WOW!!!!!! Trouble is that I am torn between the two engines
I love the 1.8T as my last car was an Octavia vRS (loved it) But I have to be sensible now, so mpg, insurance and road tax have to be taken into consideration. I will probably end up getting the derv monster, so this brings me to my question (at long last lol) Does this car really need ESP???? My missus will be driving it mainly so this is why I am asking
Cheers in advance

Im glad you have seen the light and decided not to go for the chavy fiesta, as around here there are **** loads of them.
You have IMHO made the right choice in engine decisions aswell but then again, i love my diesel
. When i ordered mine, i made sure it had ESP as i had prior had an accident in the snow shortly after passing my test, which didnt make me very confident driving in the snow.
When it snowed last year, i had a play, to see what difference ESP made, and my god, did it make a difference.
Now i have silly power, it gets used overtime, especially around roundabouts and tight corners, but when you turn it off, aslong as its dry, it will still handel pretty well.
I would say, yes, deffinately get esp, its a well worth while extra, and like has said before, it could make the difference in crashing and not.
