So I thought I could save myself a bit of money as a student and in January Bought a 08, 62K Mile Ford Fiesta Zetec S Tdci.

After a few more 'spirited' drives, it doesnt exactly suit my driving style, I thought I could adapt to the driving style/engine but appears I don't. Im not really sure if I should change to the above options (which eats into my savings more than I want to baring in mind I haven't exactly got a proper job yet, as I have not graduated, and am wondering if I should just leave it and wait?

Or just think I only live once? I don't think the fiesta ST will be too much of a jump in terms of buying, the focus ST225 hatch however I think will leave me with very little savings left, so I am not sure what to do?

I didn't think Id need more power, but I think that I do, theres been a few situations where It just doesnt have the poke I need, or it could be I'm being impatient and that I should just keep the fiesta for 3 years or so?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

In your position, keep it (and the money). The ST225 will still be there when you graduate and get an income. It is a lot of money just to entertain you for an hour or so every now and then.
