General Comments

The Fiesta RS Turbo is a little pocket rocket. Lighter than the Escort RST and with a smaller, more efficient turbo it is a quick, fun car to drive. The Fiesta RST is very tuneable and 165Bhp is easily attained with simple mods (thats what i've got). Parts are very cheap and DIY maintenance is possible for most jbos. Drawbacks are the same as any turbo car I.E reliability issues. Regular oil changes are needed, with fully synthetic oil to maintain the life of the turbo and as the car is no spring chicken, other parts, such as radiators, belts and bearings do wear out.
