2013 Fiesta ST

Some slight differences for me.

1. Fancied a change. 3.5 years in the same car is the longest I've kept one.
2. After driving the ST i really liked it
3. Tuning potential of the Turbo
4. Step up in spec
5. 5 years of warranty again
6. 3 doors is handy for Jack (I find it really difficult to get Jack in his carseat in Emma's 5 door Clio 4.
7. Lower road tax
8. Higher MPG
9. I guess its always nice having something new

I still cant get over the fact that two of this forums heavily modified track going clio owners have chopped in for a standard ST/RS.

To have spent that sort of money that you two did on track related performance upgrades must have ment you were into pushing a car as far as it can go on track...but now you're both in civilised motors?

Why the change? Was the 200 uncivilised to live with day to day? Too much to run? Fed up of feeling the need to mess with it?

I think a drastic weight loss program and slicks are the only potential areas that would have seen the 200 go faster (Without major engine works). I dont think in its current form it would go any faster.

Well I curbed my alloy today after only owning it 3 weeks, what an amazing feeling, had my 197 three years and curbed it once, ffs :worried:
 
Anyone know a good reputable wheel repair specialist? Majorly annoyed with myself, as I hope they can match the paint good!
 
Where I work, I wouldn't normally recommend in case anything goes wrong, however we have done a few sets of Audi TT wheels now in anthracite that have looked fantastic. Done a really good job.

Nationwide Tamworth

Other than that, Sandicliffe Leicester where my GF works, someone kurbed one of hers on her demo and they have sorted that and you wouldn't know which wheel it was, done a good job to be fair.
 
I'm deciding over the 200t or the ST. Test driving the ST this weekend and I hope it doesn't excite me too much as I may possibly do the deal. I love my 200 and have only had it 6 months but at my age things change so quickly and the gf wants me to move in and we're going to share a car. The 200 is lot more expensive to run than the ST (GF is only 20 - £800 more expensive on the insurance). So the ST seems like the best deal.
 
Damn right Gandalf :lol:

Still stings us youngsters a little more that you auld boys.

Joint insurance for the ST is £1500 so I said I'll pay half with her. That's still cheaper than what she pays on her Citreon C1.

What kind of deal did Ford offer you for your clio? Or did you sell privately?
 
Gandalf? Lol

31 and still looking good mate :tongueout:

just liKE a fine wine, i get better with age.......i wish
 
I got what the "value my car" websites quoted.

Thats for a bog standard cup with no options.

I've just done some comparisons on auto trader. It seems my car is going for around 10k. So I will see what Ford offer me on Saturday and then I will try and make a deal. If not I will probably put mine up for about 9,500 and accept 9k.
 
Selling for £10k or advertised for £10k?

Big difference between advertised price and realistic selling price.
