I dont dislike saxo's coz they are nice lookin cars but the build/reliability is shite on most of them... the vts/gti pug are a more reasonable powered 1.6 where as the gsi/sport 1.6 are a wee bit under-powered but have high tuning potential! the 1.6 vtr is quick off the mark but is not all that quick mid-range and the fezzy zs is utter gash but has nice build and handling...the 1.4 sport I reckon is quite nippy for a 1.4...

Ps. u started it..

ye i agree witht he build quality, but if u crash at a high speed in any of them ur still likely to seriously hurt yourself. but corsa doors do sound better

agree with the shitty fiesta. looks crap and is crap

No, Fiesta looks the best out of all 3 of the cars in question.

Just needs a better lump.

if the supercharge kit for the fiesta zetec s was much cheaper i think it would appeal more to youngsters but its such a unpowerful car. But it looks the best and comes with best kit and wheels and suspension for the money!!

my mate had the first Van Aaken turbo-ed zetec-s in the country (apart from the demo car) and it went pretty well. til it blew up. which it did on several occasions

best bet is to get a 2.0 zetec lump fitted. some company was doing this for bout £2k and my mate regretted going down the turbo route when he found this out

zetec-s is only group 8 insurance though. handles a bit better than the vtr and the corsa sport is the fastest. the vtr and zs are down to driver on the straights
