Thanks all for your opinions!
Scotty, I think you misunderstood me from my earlier question, still never mind, I have the responses I need. As for insurance, £297.42p, I think is okay but could be better.
This is with my qualifications and fault free record of 23 years driving. to put you fully in the picture, I also deliver training to many sectors, I can assure you all, the 17 year old market for driver training and education is the smallest market sector.
I have no worries regards fuel costs, tax deductable and all. Replacement parts if damaged? Seriously...Do you think that a plumber or joiner would loss sleep if one of their tools were damaged?
I would not loss sleep if the car got damaged, I'd accept that as my responsibility and get it fixed. I would also feel I should compensate my client for puting them into a situation they were not ready to deal with.
I am surprised by the negative responses my question has got from a froum of ST lovers. Maybe it is just a bit of snobbery and you think that learners don't deserve to learn in such a car!
just my opinion. Thanks for yours!
RH

I know alot of you wont agree with me but i just think that a car can be a leathal weapon if used inappropriatly.
It doesn't matter whether or not it is an ST, all cars, indeed all vehicles can be a lethal weapon in the wrong hands!

agree with u!any car can be a weapon what ever the power, u can own a slow car and drive stupidly and u can own a ST and driving sensibly and usally there more car accident in slow or old cars and rarely fast and new cars

Hey all,
I am new to your boards. I thought I'd jump straight in and ask for your opinions folks.
I need the low down on the Fiesta ST. I am looking to purchase one brand new, where are the best prices to be found?
What are your real honest opinions of this car?
Hi i am new to the board too - I know a new car sounds fab but.....have you considered a used one just bought my first ST 10 months old 07 plate for £9,480 from Dagenham Ford Woodford Green with 4700 on the clock as good as new with the depreciation taken out of the cost of a new one!!! Just a thought!!! Cheers

Hi Folks,
I thank you for your responses. I am considering this purchase as a business decision so I have to be certain I get it right. I am a driving instructor and I want to use a car that is attractive to the public.
Being a Fiesta takes it right to the top of the class right away. My concern being an ST model is that it may scare some people when they realise what this car is capable of!
Now that you know this, how would you advise me?
Cheers,
RH
I wouldn,t worry about teaching some to drive in an ST,here in Bristol there is a guy who teaches in a new corsa VXR.... his idea is to attract the youngsters because it,s the only chance they are going get to drive one cheaply and legally this guy seems to have a fair bit of business because of it...go for it

i dont get why people are saying its a bad idea to learn in a st . when the new mini came out loads of schools had them to learn in and it attracted alot of people to learn in them . For damages to the car insurance would pay and the st isnt that fast that it is going to scare anyone or be any more dangerouse than any other car .
