General Comments

The Ford Fiesta RS Turbo is a very very fast car, eats Clio 182's for fun, most Subaru's cant keep up either.

    Are you sure? Have you been racing Subaru Foresters or non-Turbo Imprezas?
    Even a modified (to 200bhp) Fiesta Turbo will not outrun a 276+bhp Impreza. From a standing start, or round a track (twisty road).

    I've actually raced against a modified Fiesta Turbo up the drag strip (York) and won by several car lengths. I'm running a 210bhp Ibiza. The Fiesta was reasonable but started to lose ground at 60+mph, possibly due to gearing.

    The Fiesta Turbo is an 'old' car and if a Turbocharged hatchback is wanted, I would recommend something newer, with more safety features, better build quality and an engine that isn't being pushed quite so hard (e.g. 1.8T or 2.0T).
