My Mk7 Fiesta Zetec-S

[fraserbottomley]

Hi guys.

Been browsing the forum for ages so I though it's about time I join.

Currently drive a '59 Fiesta Zetec-S, it's the 1.6 Ti-Vct Petrol. Doesn't compare to the majority of cars on here power wise, but I love it; it's great to drive and certainly good enough to get me through uni. Although I'm very tempted to get it mountune'd for abit of extra kick!

Anyway I'll let the pics do the talking...

Nice cars, wouldn't mind one at some stage, welcome to the site

Really like the new Fiestas, especially in black

Nice car.

Looks tidy, not a massive fan of these but it's a grower.

Really like these, what bhp does the Zetec S have now? Are there any plans for an ST or RS version?

Great car you have there !

[Greendubber]

From the Ford bloke I spoke to the other day the ST one will be in dealers in the new year at some point.

Nice car and like the black paint and tinted windows. Nice cars to drive too. Far better than my MK6. I bet Ford put the new 1.6 Turbo Ecoboost engine in the ST thats due to debut in the new C-Max at the end of next year. But you just dont know.

We drove one last November, but it was the diesel. Really nice car.

I learnt to drive in a diesal MK7 Fiesta and it was a lovely car to drive. Would love to have a Zetec S!

[fraserbottomley]

Thanks guys . An ST version would be great! Ford originally said they wouldn't make one. However I think they said that about the new Focus RS! And as people have said the 1.6 turbo has got to be the most likely engine! If they announce one I'll be first on the list! Lol.

And rich it's 120bhp. You can get the ford approved mountune pack which takes it up to 140 though.

I think that's the best looking supermini ever. When I think back to the fiestas I used to drive at Uni I am green with envy!

I really like these. So much better looking than the previous Zetec-S. Very smart.

Supermini?

They're about the same size as the original Focus.... which used to be a medium family hatch....

120hp is pretty good, the Mrs is looking to buy a new car in the new year I may show her these (might wait too see the ST version as the 1.6 Turbo sounds great)

[RobCrezz]

I like these.

Kind of like a successor to the Puma 1.7.

"About the same size"...!?

Mk1 Focus: Length: 4152mm Width: 1998mm Height: 1430mm
Mk7 Fiesta: Length: 3950mm Width: 1695mm Height: 1467mm
Mk6 Fiesta: Length: 3918mm Width: 1907mm Height: 1468mm

So, the current FIesta is 32mm longer, 20cm narrower and 1mm lower than the Mk6 Fiesta, hence nowhere near "about the same size as the original Focus"

HTH .

ETA: OP - car looks great, I have driven the diesel Zetec S version and it seemed to be a good car!

Just re-read the OP, and you're still at uni. VERY good going to have a car as nice as this at uni!

Nice car fella, do like the new Fiestas, much better in a 3 door than the 5 door! A few white ones round my way that look great!
