Summary
What does this car say about you?
Maybe that I want a Zetec S fiesta but one that’s got more kit and is a bit different.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Apart from lots on chav jokes due the white stripes, they all like it especially the leather seats.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes the fiesta is one of the best cars in its class and the Zetec S is the best trim level and the S1600 adds more kit and makes it a bit more special.
What are you likely to buy next?
Maybe a Freelander or Focus if I can find a reason to have a car that size, or a new ST fiesta or a new special edition zetec S.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great. The engine has a fair bit of power when you shifting though the gears. At low speeds the car is a bit jumpy and fallows the dips in the road. However once you get past 30 the car grips really well and feels frim and ‘sporty’. The car does feel a lot bigger than the old shape fiesta.
What's it like to park?
Big turning circle for a 'small' car. Your heart starts racing whenever the white alloys get near a curb.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated leather seats, power start button.
