Also has cheaper road tax miles cheaper insurance (I found)and very easy to modify (change the flexi for a miltek and a k&n filter and you looking at 165 bhp roundabouts) and muchos better the drive than the 180 imo
EDIT. nearly forgot timing chain over belt anyday
Try comparing to a proper hot hatch, not a 206

67kgs lighter than the ST, not quit as good mpg wise (although I don't believe for 1min the the ST can achieve 38mpg except at 56mph on a motorway) and over a second quicker to 60!
Oh and btw I'm a huge Fiesta fan and have owned them on and off for 18 years now! The ST was just a bad design, which is a shame really as Ford could have made it so much better!
People keep quoting all these figures and most of them are bulls**t anyway.
The clio 182 does not weigh 1070Kg thats the 172 cup.
The actuall differneces in 0-60 times between a clio 172, 182 + cups are in reality basicly the same as a 180.
So all figures are b******s.
Thats my view, if the OP doesnt like his car drop an anvil on it, it looks s**t anyway, go out and test drive some other cars and find one you like.

#68: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: Coolspot, Location: East SussexPosted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:13 am ---- Did we ever get to how much the budget was for the owner of a mid range 206 that doesn't like it after doing nothing to it?
As said earlier pretty much any car can be fun. I love my 1.4 Glx may not be fast but for what it is its fun enough till i win the lottery then i will upgrade it and get a super car.
If you don't like your job you change it, if you don't like your car do the same. Anyway please stop whining end of the day your the driver and if you can't make it fun then your driving must be poor.
5 pages and i don't think we got anywhere really uther than comparing 2 cars one was 3 up the other unknown. Get the Audi better traction and turbo just when they go wrong like big they go wrong big end of my personal rant
#69: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:37 am ---- nice rant
#70: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:39 am ---- It's ages since we've hd one of these silly 'my car is faster' and 'that good car is s**t' discussions. They don't get any better.
Fact is the Fiesta ST is virtually identical in performance to the 206 GTi. It was a very good little car, could have done with a bit more power simply because the chassis was more than capable of handling it. There is certainly lots of potential with the engines.
#71: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:45 am ---- If we take away the SLIGHT bias that may be on here toward the 206 I think your right.... I would love someone to come to me with a Fiesta and say "tune it, heres my wallet"
