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 unveils Fiesta Zetec S Celebration in UK ModelPicture Of Zetec S Cars Celebration editionFord keeps throwing fiestas in honor of the Fiesta. It started back in March with the release of the yellow, checkered-flag-roofed Fiesta Zetec S Cars Anniversary edition.

Again, it's limited to 400 cars, and yes, it receives the flag roof, leather seats, black mirrors and accents, sport appearance, 16" wheels, and 100 PS (98.6 HP) 1.6L four good for 43.5 mpg (Imperial) in the combined cycle (that's 36 mpg US, if you were wondering)....

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...

The yellow bodywork won't be to everyone's taste but that price tag and the fact that only 400 of these special Fiesta models will be available should prove a strong draw.Picture Of Zetec S Cars AnniversaryThough the standard Fiesta Zetec S Cars is available with a choice of petrol and diesel powerplants, Ford is only offering the Zetec S Cars Anniversary...

Ford Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary Edition New Car Road Test Part 2Picture Of Zetec S Cars AnniversaryThere's no doubt that the Ford Fiesta has come a long way over the years and the Zetec S Cars Anniversary edition is a good indicator of where it's at right now. You won't find these models hard to spot as the unique and rather vivid Radian Yellow paintwork is topped off with a full chequered-flag roof decal. It's that other throwback to motoring days past, BMW's new MINI, that has helped re-popularised the personalisation of small cars with exterior graphics and the current Fiesta is one of a number of rival models to get in on the act. The range-topping...

Ford Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary Edition New Car Road Test Part 1Picture Of Zetec S Cars AnniversaryCars have an uncanny knack of making you feel old. How many of us have stifled a snigger at some anachronistic old vehicle, still in service but with its best days long behind it, before the dismal realisation dawns that we lusted after, learned to drive in or used to own that exact same make and model? It can be a crushing blow as it dates you as much as the car in question and if you'd rather avoid this kind of reality check, best look away now because Ford's Fiesta is now 30 years old.Picture Of Zetec S Cars AnniversaryIf you're one of the thousands...

Overview Of Zetec S Cars

Overview Of Zetec S CarsPicture Of Zetec S CarsThe Zetec S was the highest Fiesta trim, and although its 1.6 16v Sigma engine was available in other Fiestas (such as the Freestyle) the Zetec S pushed out 102 bhp, and had major alterations to the suspension, with stiffer anti-roll bars and uprated brakes shared with the Puma.The Zetec S was never developed for outright straight line speed.
