That Fiesta looks great, very nice.

What engine is in it?.

Logsi · 14 Apr 2012 at 14:26

Thanks!

It's a 1.6 Ti VCT (Just hit "Ti VCT" yo!) which generates 132bhp. The car is really screaming for the Turbo 1.6 180bhp.

Looks really good, might end with one of these when it becomes ridiculously expensive to run my Focus ST. Do they only come with black alloys? I'm not the biggest fan of gloss black allots that's all, would prefer silver...

Also what other colours does this spec come in? Just white?

Silver alloys are an option. Being a special edition of 1000 they all come with black alloys standard. Ridiculously it costs £75 to have silver alloys even though they're exactly the same but silver. The bad thing is it looks like they've been really lazy when spraying the black alloys as pretty much only the fronts have been sprayed and the inner alloy is pretty much just all overspray.

Other colours (£495 option for metallic) are midnight sky and black. Midnight sky looks really awful with the black rims in the flesh and i feel black doesn't have as much presence as "recession" white in my opinion. Only limited colours due to it being a limited run. I'm with you though, just something about silver cars!

Horrific interior in that Fiesta, nice on the outside

Fiesta looks good apart from the horrid blue/grey dash! (Or is it just the light?)

Not quite mine but my fathers new car, thought I'd share as it's something a little different Only this pic for now, will get more when it comes on Tuesday. Traded in an MX5 for it so I'm a little sceptical for now, will have to see how it goes !

Have to say these really do look quite striking, if a bit of an Audi TT rip off. Shame about the badge though

I've got one too, it looks awful in photos, like the colours are clashing, but in real life it seems fine :confused:

Mainly a problem if you use a flash on your camera.

It looks grey in real life and the piano black bits of the interior are really nice. Prefer it to the silver on the regular Zetec S (there's one almost identical on my drive I can compare to!)

I just did a ~1500 mile round trip in my Metal and it's surprisingly comfortable. Seats were great, engine has plenty of poke, even at high speeds. Ride can be a bit harsh, pot-hole avoidance is a top priority, and the low profile tyres on the Metal produce a little more road noise than the Zetec S, but it's way quieter than a standard trim Astra for example. It drives like a hot hatch if you want but can be as pleasant as a mid-sized car on long runs. It takes the best bits of the Mk7 Fiesta but adds some of the extra power it needs and some really nice unexpected extras. These will make a top buy second hand imo, not just saying that to boost the value of mine...!

Like the white, I bought one from stock and all they had left was black, but that probably would have been my choice anyway.

Fiesta looks great Logsi

I think I should live a little and do the one thing I said I'd never do and thats buy a brand new Fiesta ST next year

I was going to say that it's not actually that colour. It's definitely a shade of black and not at all blue. It looks like a weird type of material in the flesh. Might be throwing the light.

I thought the ride was pretty soft personally but then again I'm used to coilovers!

Logsi · 14 Apr 2012 at 21:24

Here's a picture from another thread. Kinda gives a better representation of the colour.

IvanDobskey · 15 Apr 2012 at 10:15

That fester interior looks ok to me. Nice car, although I don't like black wheels. Always look a bit halfords to me.

Black interiors are really hard to take nice looking photos of

Testing out my iPad camera while the whip was looking unusually shiney, notbad.jpg.

Really need to sort the headlight hazing, has got a lot worse in the last 2 months.

^^ I was going to buy one of those but couldn't find a facelift within reasonable distance and insurance is much cheaper considering you have the same engine as me

The right car is never too far away.

The current Fiesta and new Focus have way too many buttons around the radio and centre console.

Not sure how else you'd have it to be honest.

There is more buttons on the head unit than standard due to the Sony Bluetooth DAB radio.
