Also, the RS used the Zetec engine whereas the RSturbo and XR2i's had the noisyer outgoing CVH, the CVH was a good engine if you really looked after hit. When the RSturbo was dropped only the XR2i was available in CVH or later 105bhp Zetec, the RS1800 had the tuned 130bhp zetec, bigger throttle body too.
Nice pic in Ash Black like mine, memories.............I'll try and post a pic of mine on here sometime soon.

Nah must admit I prefer the current shape of fiesta St, like mentioned above it has been around for a wile now, but it works! as for the engine however a 1.6 turbo would certanly put a smile on my face. However the current 2.0 is more than enough power for me. therefore i will not bwing buying the new one.

sexy sexy sexy! change the turbo on it and im off!

I like it

i wont be buying one, the new design has lost the bite and agressive look of the WP/WQ. I think i will get a Focus RS or FPV Falcon F6

what is a WP/WQ?

Have any of you guys seen the photos (posted in another topic I think was titled "Ford have finally decided on a name") from the Geneva motor show? I must say I am very underwhelmed with the new Fiesta. It looks nice on the outside (just nice, not stunning) but the interior is terrible. Far too fussy for such a small car.

It's difficult to judge what kind of upgrades the car will have when it is upgraded into the ST. I was excited about the new Fiesta, but after those pics I don't think I shall bother buying one.

I might make a leap to either a Focus ST, or a Focus RS sometime in the future.

the new fiesta is to be launched in november europe wide.

Maybe the new Ka ST will be more fun - especially if they provide the 155hp upgrade that the fiat 500 is getting..

I know they originally said that the Ka ST would only be around 120bhp, in order to avoid stealing sales from the next Fiesta ST. But given that that's now expected to be 190bhp, more than was first thought, then the Ka may be end up being more than 120 in the end.
