Fiesta ST has won. Ford Dealers are very generous with the deals on the ST compared to the Seat dealers who all seem to think there are VW dealers and wont give any discount. Plus the ST actually drives better, quicker and has less problems than the FR. With the extra pennies i can save from a cheaper Deal on a ST , this will cover the extra insurance, petrol and tax cost over the FR.

Been to a Ford dealer today and they offered me 3 k off a colorado red ST with full leather seats. plus they would give me the correct part chop price on me focus estate.

Not sure if to have the red as it tends to look discoured after a bit. may try to get the performance blue. from dealer tomorrow in a deal.

Welcome.
Never liked the Ibiza. Even though the Fiesta is being replaced in October, it looks well better IMO than the Seat. Never been a fan of the brand.
The deal on the ST is quite popular as the fuel/Insurance is scaring a lot of people away.

Insurance dont bother me, its only going to cost me about 80 quid a year more than me focus 1.6 estate. and for fuel if i dont drive like a twoc'er I should get the same fuel aconomy as me focus. its the tax that annoys me.

£170 this year, £205 next year, and £210 the year after. Gordon Brown now has got to go, He aint no Tony Blair, no other country is shafting its people like ours.

We have a saying in our dept at the moment "Gordon Brown is a Fu****g Clown".
Hes out next general election and he knows it.

Colorado Red or Performace blue, Stripes or no stripes. too many choices !!

Hi welcome to the site. Nothing against the red ones but performance blue is great

Get it naked and add stripes at a later date if you want them, be cheaper than Ford doing it for you too!

Get performance blue deffinately!!!

bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue

actually go for naked white

Ok.

Been to dealer this afternoon.
Took the Fiesta ST out. My god, its a f***King animal.
Full exceleration in all gears , no flat spots and this is in a 57 , 11k miles one. no contest ibiza FR pants, ST brill, Sorry GK Seat in Derby but you missed out on a sale you should have offered a discount when you had chance before me ST test drive HAHAHAHAHA. I am going to the Seat Ibiza forum and encourage any noobs there not to buy Ibiza FR's but the ST.

Got a good deal from GK ford in Mansfield. They just about matched TCH ford in Derby, but the saving I would have got from TCH Derby over GK Mansfield did not matter as it would had meant me traveling back and fourth to derby and I aint got time. Plus Mark at GK was excellent.

Hopefully get mine either later this week or early next week. Yippee.

Ant its the Performance blue. !!!!!!!! no stripes as I aint up for showing off plus nottinghamshire crime stats are high and i dont want to attract Twoc'er attention.

I am happy. Also forgot to mention I am an old dude but me insurance is cheap.

good choice mate, where in notts are ya? im working at saint Annes at the minute..............scary place lol

North Notts. Mansfield/sutton-in-Ashfield.

Seen a few STs up here, but not many with the stripes.

i know where you mean, i worked sherwood colliery on bellway homes for two years. mine will be goin on a journey to mansfield in a week or so to see the lads i know up there! so if you see a blue full striped ST driven by a skin head - tis me!

Good to hear you've gone for the ST but red red red all the way.

Actually, if it wasn't for the pain in keeping it clean I'd go for white with stripes, but blue looks good in naked, side stripes or full stripes. It is an ST only colour, so if you're trying to blend in go for black or silver.

Got me ST now . Goes like a Friday night bird pull in Mansfield.

How do I get the "o" next to me name now ??

You've now got one.

Excellent !!
