bondbill2k2 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 One i was looking at was a sports trim Prob a zetec-s then, the zetecs are a little sporty and Zetec-s are lower, different alloys and bumpers. Also often have better trim levels and a few extras, mine has electric powerfold mirrors for when I lock the car, climate control, parking sensors, bluetooth ford headunit for hands free and auto lights and auto wipers Before the fiesta I had a 06 focus and an 03 focus both tdcis, the older model seemed far better to drive and more fun, it was the 115 zetec model tho and my newer mk2 focus was a 90 studio model + heavier
zakthetech Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I drive a vauxhall astra estate. Loads of room for carrying all of the junk about and i have pritty looking blue led's for all of the dash lights because i got borred one night. I must admit if i could afford it i would drive this about.... EVERYWHERE Vibe Dredd | VIBE Audio

bondbill2k2 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 55 plate 1.6TDCI Sport (dont know what standard on it) I think it a different say of saying zetec. we are on about mk2 focus? The sport and the zetec are different trim levels, i'd avoid the 1.6 tdci myself they are underpowered from my experience at only 90bhp. Look at larger focus diesels which will still get near the same economy but have 120bhp+. Best place to look for this info is parkers.

Also often have better trim levels and a few extras, actually when you look at it the zetec has a higher spec as you get (at least towards the end of production) colour coded door handle and i think mirrors/bump strips heated front screen and a sony radio as standard all options on the zetec s. Now apart from the heated front screen this is all minor stuff but still and for what its worth http://www.stedscarpics.net/gallery/albums/08zstdci/IMG_3727.JPG

Now apart from the heated front screen this is all minor stuff but still and for what its worth http://www.stedscarpics.net/gallery/albums/08zstdci/IMG_3727.JPG Thats a zetec-s in that photo, the zetec-s had air con and sporty seats as standard along with the sporty looking bumpers, spoiler, different spot lights to other models and partical leather trip which wernt avaliable for the normal zetec, later models often came fairly dark tinted on the rear windows too. They also had different suspension setups to the other models, they were the ST without an ST engine looking car, cosmetic pack basically, why the ZS didn't have colour coded side strips and mirrors as standard is very odd tho, having looked at the extras list they soon add up but there not over priced The Ghia is the highest spec as standard with some extras of lower models included. Zetec: http://www.parkers.co.uk/imagecache/file/650/archive/Ford/Fiesta%20(02-)/031207-b-for.jpg My Zetec-s: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/Bondbill2k2/DSC_0170-1.jpg The Zetec gets 15-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler, front fog lights and trip computer while Zetec S adds 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights lowered and stiffened sports suspension, sports gear knob and short-shift, close-ratio gearbox and sports ‘aero’ kit including high-intake front grille and rear spoiler. The Ghia has leather trim, a leather steering wheel, automatic headlamps Edited June 10, 2011 by bondbill2k2

Tints were a no cost option but an option non the less i believe. Again the last years of production there was little in it between a zetc and a ghia pretty much just alloys as they crammed most of the tos even onto teh base spec cars infact iirc only the ghia/st/zs diddnt get improved spec and with loss of standard wheel mounted radio controls and loss of 1/2 leather seas the zs got downgraded as everything else got better

I didn't know that, I suppose the zetec is the most popular but to work around a single model rather then their whole range! Oh well I still prefer the ZS mine has cloth seats too and I was supprised when I went to view it as I thought they were completly standard having looked at loads for sale.
HaleStorm Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I am now the owner of a shiney 57plate Fiat Bravo 1.4T-Jet ActivSport...low pressure turbo on the petrol engine really upsets the boy-racers in there corsas
aerospacemango Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 A spot of trouble on the M25 this morning.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]10478[/ATTACH] Looks like he'll be stuck in 2011 for some time...... Not much chance of getting up to 88mph on the M25!
aerospacemango Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 That's the model that flys isn't it...? Definitely not....otherwise WHY would he be sitting in traffic????? Obviously, he's on his way back from 1955 to 1985....and got lost!
jimmy_2k Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 haha love the delorean. Did you know they were accually built in Belfast. Anyway I drive a rather modest 5 Door Citroen Xsara, I didn't have much money at the time and needed a affordable car. Seems a family tradtion, not got much money, need a car? theres always a Citroen! Would get somthing nicer but people keep scratching, denting my cars. Someone backed into the side of it the other day.. sigh
sted Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Looks like he'll be stuck in 2011 for some time...... Not much chance of getting up to 88mph on the M25! isnt the engine so poor they struggle to do 88 anyway (back to the future cars had porsche engines in)
