The V5 was just a market gap filler.

I'm sure it's already been decided in here, but it's deffo a Fiesta as it's talked about over on fiestaturbo.com.
Anybody know what the car just before is though that does the handbrake turn for the "TV show"? It's on false plates as that comes up as a BMW or something iirc
Yes I was bored and looked it up a while back

Thats what I thought too, so a golf must handle just as good as a 1 series
and may cocks a kipper
No way will a golf or any VAG drive as good or handle as well as a BMW of the same model

dull, boring to drive, very unrealiable, most of them have crap engines apart from the TFSI's

Are we sure it's a Fiesta? I am almost positive it's a 306.

Its a 1 series bmw, hence the back wheels spinning unlike a Golf
And as Ben says above the purple car is 100% a mk3 fiesta, the cars been on fiestaturbo.com for years.

easy, it was a market gap filler. filled the gap between the 2.0 and the 2.5, this was backed up by the 323 having a 2.5 when they had the 328 out, and the M3.

Cheers matt.
The car that handbrakes had got the rear light of a 1 series BMW.
The car the lads are looking around, the back end looks like a 306 (so i ca see where OJC is coming from) But if oyu look at the alloys then look at the purple fiesta on page #1 then it's obviously a fiesta.
Oh and the very last car on the advert I'm guessing that's a golf .
