Wasn't there a wave of Fiestas (and other Fords) being stolen due to an issue with the keyless entry recently?
Might go some way to explain that insurance cost.

Janesy: I asked for interior shots as I was hoping the ST interior was better than the standard Fiesta one, which is truly awful.

Think its a london thing more than anything. I can insure one for £370 and thats a quick moneysupermaket quote. Greenlight would beat that price for me without even trying.
Not to rub any salt in your wounds but I'm a fairly new driver and have a MK6 1.4 Fiesta that is cheaper to insure!
Yeah ST next maybe..
P.s how much is that Ferrari to insure?
Great colour combo

But. Eh?
They are very sought after by thieves. I was chatting to a guy at Greenlight and he informed me that the current Fiesta ST is their most stolen car

Some of us oldies pay even less for a powerful highly modified car! About the only advantage!
Nice car Bryan
I've got a Disclok.
The facelift (2012 onwards) is better in general, all the bits you touch are good - steering wheel, gear lever etc but the door cards flex when you lean on them and I'm sure they got the HVAC control knobs from Hotpoint. The seats are fantastic and the interior lighting is cool.
Don't buy it if you like solid interiors. You forget about it when driving though.

Are these still deemed as effective these days?

Shouldn't you be fixing your Celica m8?
5 mins plus to defeat, so pretty effective. Enough for a potential crim to look inside and think better of it.

It's quite hard still, the 10 and 2 thumb grips are medium/firm.
Its getting there. Radiator and condenser going on tomorrow and all being hooked up again, then Sunday Leigh Boy is coming to help bleed and fill the cooling system hopefully... Though it looks like the coolant may not arrive in time... And also help do the water pump, aux belt, and thermostat...
The ones that cover the full steering wheel? I wouldn't be without mine tbh.
Nice car Janesy.
Of course, it is the "show us your motors" thread. A V8 Ferrari has been my dream since before I had a license and yesterday I realised it, 3 days before my 30th birthday.
It's a 2014 Speciale, Rosso F1, Nero interior, carbon fibre diffuser/flaps, carbon fibre seats, telemetry, BT + Nav.
The driving experience is something else. I haven't driven it enough to really sum it up but watch the reviews on Youtube... which is all I've been doing for the past 12 months.
The stripes are love/hate. For me they were a must, I didn't want anyone mistaking it for an 'ordinary' 458.
Oh, and the stereo is ****.
