the zetec s was a good reliable fast car for it's class, the 1.6 litre 16v unit felt more that willing and felt very solid and well put together with all the toys like power steering and traction control and anti lock brakes and a firm ride gave a sense of security and safety when driving.not easy to keep to the legal speed limit as the car seems to make you feel like a 12 year old twoker and every car is another car to race Mar 23, 2008

Pretty nippy for a 1.2L. Not much torque low down but it picks up its feet above 3,500rpm. The powerband is between 4,000 and 5,500 rpm. Go above that and all your really doing is minimising he Rev drop when you change up a gear. It hits the limiter at 6,800 Rpm. The Zetec-SE engine is an excellent engine and it was co-designed with Yamaha. It's lightweight, all aluminium block and head, double overhead camshaft, sixteen valve design. Chassis is stiff and it would handle well with stiffer suspension. Still lots of understeer as expected with modern day FWD cars. Ive got 195/50/15 Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres which are very grippy all round. They are good to rely on and you get nothing but positive feedback from them all the way to the limit. This is the Non ABS version, ABS version would be more preferable. I would desire more from the brakes. The car feels skitty and loose under breaking. The brakes are Good by most standards, but I would prefere them to be better. Mar 22, 2008

what can i say really, its a red fiesta zetec s,cant really comment on the power & speed as i dont really drive it that fast but its fairly nippy (compared 2 my last car)! i've had it for about a year after i wrote off my clio,chose it just because i always wanted a fiesta zetec s, mainly use it 4 work so drive it a fair bit, don't think i'd change anything about it, except maybe the colour!Jan 16, 2008
