General Comments

I bought my first frstFord Fiesta RS Turbo a few months ago - despite a few early probs i have it set up and running sweetly - long may it continue!! i have been very impressed with the car - it is quick off the lights, top speed is more than i expected and torque low down on the rev range is very impressive! if u buy a turbo solely for the dump valve then the fiesta is the way 2 go - mine sets off with mild town driving whereas the escort boys need a run up 2 achieve any boost at all!

as with every car there are bad points - all on the frst can be overcome if ur willing 2 spend the money! since adding koni's all round the handling has dramatically improved and with upgraded hoses, intercooler, exhaust, etc has seen the most out of the standard cvh engine. the next step will be the chip which will see the fiesta keeping up with the big boys! very tunable cars! if u have the money possibilities are endless!

When buying any RS it is important 2 be careful as there are many dogs out there! I seriously recommend looking in the rsoc mags as the few fiesta's in there are well worth buying! and its true that you get what you pay 4 - higher valued cars are well worth it!
