She could be going

Well the time has come for the 197 to go i think.

Been looking for something a bit cheaper to run due to the miles i have to do.

So tomorrow im having a look at a fiesta zetec s 1.6

Not sure weather i can do it but a test drive will help me make my mind up

we shall see

Are you looking at petrol or diesel and what age Fiesta?

1.6 petrol and it's an 08 mk6.5 only done 26k

my 197 is an 08 now on 46k

after a new gearbox and a few expensive problems i have decided enough is enough with the clio

 

[frediiii]

Id recommend a twingo rs pre facelift, but they do equal mpg to clios...

Omg dude, still not seen you or the car

Fiesta ST or 182 FTW

How would this benefit him with no better mpg?!

Just come back from the test drive and all i can say is thay the clio is now staying with me.

My move was from a Zetec S to a 197, I wouldn't go back to a ZS - ST maybe, but not ZS!

Ive never had a car that put a smile in my face like my 200, most things ive driven just feel dull. Good decision.

Good man Phil, you've made the right choice. I've toyed with idea myself before but couldn't do it.

I came from a mk5 zetec-s to the 197, the mk5 is faster than the mk6 and there's no way I could go back to something with that performance.
