Just swapped my fiesta 1.8 diesel for one of these cars,F*cK me what a car!!
it handles superb,cant drive it at 30mph sorry officer! easy to do 90mph on motorway without realising and is very comfy and responsive in every gear.
bit thirsty if you peddle it around town but hey,who cares when you are having this much fun!! mate with series 2 RS turbo took the Pi*s until I wiped his bottom from the lights in my \"ugly japanese piece of sh*te\"
If you are thinking of buying one,go for it!! they are so under rated - so cheap to buy and are virtually bomb proof! chain driven not like most 16V hatches (another reason not to buy a 20 year old \"fast RS turboohoo\"
You live once,get on ebay spend £500-700 on the newest,lowest mileage car you can afford,pay the silly insurance premium(group 14) and have a blo*dy good laugh at all the other guys who have shelled out thousands on their \"hot\" hatches!!!!!! see the spoof links on YOUtube from 1997 from The Sweeney and The Professionals,forgot how funny they were in their day!!!
