Goodbye Ibiza :-( Hello MK7 Ford Fiesta Zetec-S :-)

[Cupra_Jay]

Nice looking car mate! have seen 1 or 2 Zetec S's doing the round and i must admit, i really do like the look of them! Not to sure about the drum brakes though...lets it down a bit!!

Def do the black wheels aswell mate!! *thumbs up*

But, at the end of the day as long as your happy with her (which i think you are) then thats all that matters!!

Your car is lush. And I'm betting not having to put disks on the back of any model saved ford a small fortune in this cars development and building. And is probably light enoungh to stop well enough without disks alround.

I love these cars.

cheers for the positive comment mate.

According to Ford this is the lightest Zetec S yet!

This car is georgeous mate

New ibiza looks weak IMO, fiesta looks waaaay nicer. I love fords though so a bit biased.
To be honest with you the build quality in my old fiesta wasn't worse than my ibiza just as many rattle's
in both cars.

Good buy

Emlyn

Cheers mate.

The build quality in the car is superb, but only time will tell when it comes to rattles.

Yeah im really happy with it mate, its a joy to drive! I was sh***ing myself when i chose white at the dealers but i think i made the correct choice.

The rear of the new Ibiza is very childish.
Every time I see the front I think wow
When I see the rear I just go... "Is that a micra.....wait ewww."

Fiesta is lush mind, Centre console isn't my cup of tea, but its typical ford styling though.

I think the centre is going to be a marmite thing, either love or loath. As said it does look much better in the flesh tho.

white seems to be the best colour for this car, just hope it doesn't get too common!

I'll just have to make it unique in some way

Very nice looking car.

Here's the Auto Express review of the Mountune version they did the other week.

I've read the review before but thanx for posting!

The engine upgrades look very, very interesting! (all be it a tad expensive). Not sure on the exterior though. White and yellow

 

[Andywest2k1]

Decided to give the car a little clean today, so decided to take a few pics:

And an engine pic for anyone interested:

 

[PLuKE]

Looks really nice, I must say the dash doesnt look that good in pictures, But i sat in one when they first came out and they are really nice once sat inside, The dails light up nice aswell.

I think the normal Zetec S looks better than the Mountune version IMO.

I saw one of these today and sat in it too. Very nice and like you said the interior/console is a lot better looking in the flesh than in pictures.

Rear drums on a 'sports' hatch on a brand new model in 2009

i was just thinking that. very very surprised. Otherwise a lovely car though.

bst colour too.

 

[cupra.al]

i saw a new ka at the weekend there tiny. new fiesta is so much better looking.

 

[Dave_R]

do like the looks on the new fiesta, never been a fun of the inside mind, think a would rather the interior from the mk6 fez. Don't need the pic of the engine, i see them everyday... on the cam line as i'm typing this lol.

One thing tho, you been saying you would have to hav a base model if you had a Seat, ever thought about going for a car a few years older, like a mk3 ibiza cupra or mk1 leon cupra... with insurance will probably cost the same as buying a new car.

Still tho, love the new fez in white.... best colour for them

Yeah, im not convinced by the white/yellow combo. If i had the engine mods done i'd just have the yellow 'mountune' badge on the exterior.Yeah, im not convinced by the white/yellow combo. If i had the engine mods done i'd just have the yellow 'mountune' badge on the exterior.

The pics defintly don't do it justice. Everyone who's been in my car has commented on how surprised they are that the console looks really good.

Never been a fan of the ka tbh, think there more of girls car.

Never really thought about going second hand to tbh, think i feel safer with the warrenty behind me.

think it looks fantastic. We had a quick look around a black on at Oxford Ford (Kidlington) when I went to speak to them about the Focus RS, and my wife really wants one (Fiesta ST) if she gets a company car this year. Other than the centre console which looks like a transformers head

I think its a great little car. I don't even care it has drums, as sometimes small discs can look completely ar$e under large alloys.

Black alloys look good too.

I really like the new Fiesta..
My girlfriend is looking to get one so I've been round a few dealers to test drive and have been impressed.
Looks nice in white but i bet you will have to spend every other weekend washing and polishing it
