Sorry my mistake, i am talking about the wrong car completely! personally though i would prefer a ford to a french car im afraid.

I think you have misunderstood me there! This isn't about what I would prefer, because at the end of the day, we're comparing a £4k car to a £10/9k car, so that's pretty obvious! Budden just wanted to know about performance comparison, so that was my 2pence i guess.

I agree the fiesta is a great car, very well built with lots of nice extras and a lovely interior, but that's also what makes it just not quite as raw as the saxo!

Either way, the fiesta is brilliant, I just wouldn't choose it myself if i had the money, but then I'm a bit weird
