They have grown on me a lot. Currently looking at clios for the other half. They drive nice (even the ones we are looking at that have a boosted sewing machine under the bonnet) but the interior seems rubbish. Even my gt86 which is pretty plastic fantastic seems better.
Local dealer to us has one in white. Probably the best colour to go for as yellow is an arse to repair as you said.

Ford are supposedly releasing an ST+, which should complete with the trophy editions and the like that other manufacturer's are throwing out with extra toys and power.
Don't know about an ST+ but there's this meanwhile...

Interior tech is fantastic but it's never going to be German quality, doesn't bother me I've driven Vauxhalls which until recently have always been pretty average.

Must say the tech is really good. We were looking at getting a specced up one and the Nav system etc is great. Touch screen system actually responds properly unlike the Toyota one where you end up wanting to punch the screen
Look forward to seeing it

You need to consult DaveyLC so he can tell you how much you are going to lose in all of this.
A word of warning, his accounting figures for me were wildly wrong.

Thats a tuner thing opposed to a manufacturer pack, it appears a fiesta RS if off the cards on the current platform/body style

They've offered me 2800, match it and you can have it.
85k, belts and water pump done by Alex White last year, new brakes all round 2014, I've owned it 5 years and looked after it.
KTec cat back, H&R springs, MOT until July. No knocks or bangs or rattles, drives superb hence why I got such a decent trade in price.

the seats look like they've been worn flat by some fat ass. Surely you'll just slide right off the side when cornering.

Just the ass part of the seat, not the vertical bit.

Do the sport ones come with the feature of being able to play different car engine noises through the speakers?

Lovely cars. Been driving them for a while in work. The box's are nice. I like them. Launch control out the factory too.
Personally I don't like the interiors too much. They could of done something abit special with the trophy. Set of wingbacks or something.
Other than that there lovely.
Even just the new shape RS is lovely to be fair.
The full leather comes with bespoke Trophy seats, have holes for harnesses in them.
Sorry didn't see you had the leather pack ticked

How did you find the brakes? My 197 has Brembos and they are fantastic, this only has single piston calipers but lots of reviews say they are more than adequate

Round bedford they were great, didnt really miss the brembos, but there are aftermarket kits already
