Summary
What does this car say about you?
Enthusiastic about cars, probably that I'm an enthusiastic driver too.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think its the best car I've owned so far, no negative comments so far!
Would you buy this car again and why?
If I were getting rid of my old Fiesta again, yes, I would certainly buy another Fiesta ST. From here upwards I can only imagine myself stepping up to perhaps a Focus ST or RS.

No

Fair deal - part exchanged my 2000 100k Fiesta for £500 against the cost of the new car.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Always been a fan of the Fiesta and the ST was a logical step up. Like the styling and had heard good things about the engine and handling.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very nice indeed - handles absolutely brilliantly on B roads, motorway cruising could be better with the addition of a 6th gear - the engine revs too highly at 70mph. On track, it's a great handling little car, a small amount of understeer when accelerating but easily corrected. Grips well with the correct tyres.
What's it like to park?
Very easy indeed. It has a reverse gear, it has windows. What more do you need?

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Air Conditioning needed re-gassing.
What's most practical about your car?
Flat folding rear seats, can fit a fair amount of stuff in the back when the seats are folded all the way down.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Trip computer or 6CD changer.
