Sir SparkSter said:The FR TDi Ibiza can do 0-60 in 8.3 seconds as standard, so doubt the petrol takes .1 seconds longer! Like Seat say!
Question is, does the fiesta look anything remotely like a viper?
Answer is, no.

Sir SparkSter said:Basically, not as slow as said. And I think it handles well... dependshow mental u r I guess

Just saw that, that's quite impressive.Niall said:i did a crude 7.8 to 62 mph the other day. Using a nokia telephone a stopwatch. Didn't get a proper launch though
Ant FR said:They don't do an ST diesel mate, the one you are referring to is the 1.6 TDCI Zetec-s which is the diesel version of the 1.6 petrol Zetec-s. its only 90 bhp and is very much different to the ST. has the same bodykit but thats where the similarities end. Different brakes, different suspension, 60 bhp down on the ST smaller wheels, different seats, every different in deed.
If they do ever release a Diesel ST ( which ford have said no to already) then they would have put the new 2.0 Diesel from the focus ( 140bhp) in it.
Handling on the ST is spot on and it has laped fords test track 2 secs faster than a Focus RS as it can carry a lot more speed through the corners.
On the straights an FR would win hands down, but around the twisty stuff the ST is better, and quite a lot better.
