You can throw it into corners with something that borders wild abandon, and most of the time you'll stay on the road. To put it more succinctly, the Zetec Model Fiesta's bigger tyres and stiffer underpinnings make this vehicle a lot of fun to punt through corners, giving the underpowered vehicle a tenacious personality that begs to be driven hard.The revisions to the suspension give the Fiesta a...

Used New Ford Fiesta Zetec S Cars Road Test Parts 2Picture Of Ford Fiesta Zetec S CarsFord Fiesta Zetec S CarsFord Fiesta Zetec S Parts 2While there's nothing quite as pleasing as laying a pair of rubber lines from the rear end of a large Aussie V8 sedan, I always get a bit of thrill driving small performance cars, and along with the Clio Sport this is one of the smallest I've ever driven that purports to offer spirited driving.Like all other Fiesta models, the Zetec features a 1.6-litre engine with a modest 74kW of power, and it's shame that Ford couldn't have whacked on some high lift cylinder heads or at least a modified exhaust for an extra...

Used New Ford Focus Zetec S Cars model in Europe Parts 1Picture Of Ford Focus Zetec S CarsFord Focus Zetec S CarsFord Focus Zetec S Parts 1We're still ga-ga in the C1 Ford Focus Cars, but it moves the needle on the "meh"-o-meter. The Ford Focus Zetec S Cars badged and fitted body, but otherwise a standard-issue Ford Focus Zetec S Cars. In fact, while there is no RS, the Zetec Cars and Zetec S Cars are fine small cars, which would be a wide choice of engines, three or five door body styles that we are very pleased to cruise around in. Maybe we should use the optional WRC Pack that adds checkered flag sticker to the rear side panels, but the 18-inch...

Used New Ford Fiesta Zetec S Cars Parts 1Picture Of Ford Fiesta Zetec S CarsFord Fiesta Zetec S CarsFord Fiesta Zetec S Parts 1Ford reckons the new Fiesta really is the very best small car that money can buy, so read our review to find out if they're rightUs Brits love fast Fords, so it’s a bit disappointing that company bosses claim there are no plans for an ST version of the new Fiesta. The sportiest model is the Zetec S Cars – so I had to make do with driving that instead.And the car’s performance figures aren’t mega-inspiring. The sprint from 0-62mph takes 9.9 seconds, and the top speed is pegged at a modest 120mph. Really the 1.6-litre engine’s...

Ford Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary Edition New Car Road Test End Part

Ford Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary Edition New Car Road Test End PartPicture Of Zetec S Cars AnniversaryThe driving position is fairly good, with light pedals and a height adjustable driver's seat. The way that Ford have raised the gearlever onto a pedestal places it quickly to hand. On a practical note, the seats are easy to fold down, those integrated rear headrests making the operation simplicity itself. Where the Fiesta falls down is in the lack of clever cubbyholes and the singular lack of any cup holders. Grab a takeout from KFC and you'd better get used to the Colonel's Hot Wings tasting of Fanta.Picture Of Zetec S Cars AnniversaryIf news...

Ford Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary Edition New Car Road Test Part 4

Ford Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary Edition New Car Road Test Part 4Picture Of Zetec S Cars AnniversaryWhere the Fiesta really scores is in the handling stakes. Its road manners have been elevated to a position to challenge any existing supermini, whilst its ride and refinement is comparable with the class best - cars like the Renault Clio and Volkswagen Polo. The steering was obviously engineered by somebody who understands the needs of keen drivers, being nicely weighted and rich in feedback without becoming a wearing distraction. The seats are a different matter altogether, lacking lateral support at the sort of cornering speeds the excellent...
