Has the Pistonheads motto changed without me knowing? It used to be Speed Matters

I cant quite do that at 18

[absolutely]

Jack its a nice car, but I wouldn't have chosen green unless it was one of the lime green STs with a chequered roof, they are cool! Resale value won't be as much as a muted black, blue or silver one.

ive been looking for about 5 months for a decent one

my brother has a black one and didnt want the same his girlfriend has a silver one, blue didnt look to good and i drove a black one and a silver one today and niether felt a good a drive as this one did, i i didnt like the colour when i first saw it but after i drove it and had a good look round it grew on me quickly , stood next to the black on i drove it had a more "sportier" look about it

each to their own really

Must admit i was expecting a green Ariel Atom from the thread title, but never mind.

Nice car for being 18

Like the colour, green is my fave just now.

Are you kidding?! I can't stand boring cars and the Fiesta is by no means a sports car, but that green freshens it up so much and makes it intereting! I love it!! I say screw the resale value, you buy a car for yourself, not the next owner.

bit harsh considering you drive a 325tds?!

Concidering the number of people switching to diesels here, shuldn't it be:

Awesome car for being 18 - like the colour/alloy combo - you should be proud.

p.s. the lime green with the chequered roof comes in the zetec 's' not the 'st'

[mattiselvis]

I like it!

I like it, don't get me wrong! I had a Seicento when I was 17 then changed to a bottom of the range Civic when I turned 18 and a bit.

Sorry John, I don't know the Ford range at all, I thought it was an "ST" badge that I saw on the last 1 that past me.

good luck when you come to sell it

That's nice - great car to have at 18

Tidy car. What engine did you go for? Quite like the colour - bit different. Will handle pretty well and small wheels will give fun grip/power ratio! Being Ford after a while if you get bored there are likely plenty upgrade bits for it too - some decent quality springs to make it handle a bit more go-kart and literally heaps of wheel options - upgrade to Zetec or ST wheels for example. Good choice I say.

Black FTW

I dont see why he'd struggle to punt it later on, as each car/colour has a buyer He bought it after all

Its a 1.4 . I was only looking for 1.25's for insurance sake but this had climate pack and technology pack and was at the same price as ones that were a year or 2 older and had nothing on them, so i am quite pround!

Looks good :thumbsup: I like the colour and the fact that you chose the car based on the fact that you like it rather than as many on here are suggesting who seemingly buy there cars with more concern over what others will think.

your correct, each to their own but one question, why did the black and silver one not drive as well ? last time i checked colour didn't effect performance.

They were both about 2 years older and had a fair few more miles
