I can confirm it does have an engine. 134PS is what it is rated at. 0-60 in 8.6 seconds *I think*, so it doesn't set the world alight, but for on the roads there's so much more go than what I've had before. The best thing is how it handles though. Really tight and responsive, little roll, it just obeys and it's a joy to drive.
I'm am an extremely fortunate chap and I'm enjoying it as much as I can. Thank you, glad you like it.
0 at the moment, as I said I was in a similar position to alex24 either being named driver or 3rd party for a few years on small cars.

I think you need to find out what the definition of a hater is. No one here is "hating".

That fiesta metal looks really nice.
The Fiesta was one of the cars I was considering to replace my Polo with but just didn't have enough power.
Insurance on my Cupra is £700 a year fully comp which isn't bad at all. I didn't buy it just on that reason alone but it go in it's favour especially when similar cars, Clio 200, Scirocco 1.4 were £1500 upwards to insure.

Hopefully the new ST they have planned will fill that hole.
The grill looks a bit odd though.
Alex24, that's a great looking car you have there. Nice one.
Don't feel you have to justify your purchase, you have your reasons for going this route when you quite clearly could have bought an old exec saloon with a 6/8 cylinder engine if thats what you wanted.
Just an example!
I had the same flak from certain people about buying a new Golf, lucky I didn't mention insurance, age and income, or those-who-know-best would probably have a field day..suggesting 1001 better ways to spend MY money.

Nobody mentioned an old exec saloon, just that limiting himself by engine size is a little silly when insurance isn't that expensive on larger engined cars.
It was an example, as I said
Sounds like a larger engine is not on the priority list atm, so why get into the "you could have got a bigger engine" stuff. My point is that certain parts of the motors community seem to think bigger is best regardless of the many other factors which influence a buying decision which do not need to be justified or detailed here. As a general comment, why cant someones car be appreciated for it is without every choice being pulled apart and second guessed?
Then again, I think people know what to expect when they post here and can chose to respond or ignore

Because it's a discussion forum not a back slapping club. We discuss what we are presented with, and if somebody tells us he bought car X because of insurance Y then obviously people will have opinions on that they feel they wish to share.

Ok Fox, we all know your opinion on this. Lets just move on now, shall we?
If people KEEP posting the same 'OMG WHY CANT WE ALL CUDDLE' days and days after the event then obviously I'm going to reply to them?

You still didn't read what I said. I'm glad some above understand and read what I actually posted!
I don't expect it to be a back slapping club, but I certainly wouldn't expect to get the 3rd degree by some stranger attempting to reduce my credibility for their amusement or whatever twisted justification. For a 'man of honour', that's far from honourable.
For those interested in more powerful Fiesta, the Fiesta ST is rumoured to arrive late next year and with a 1.6 Ecoboost engine that puts out about 180BHP, along with tuned suspension geometry and probably a lot of other ST goodies. The styling might not be for all, but it's in line with the Focus ST that is also coming soon, which should be a lot of fun. This is rumour I believe, although there was a Fiesta ST concept about at the LA Motor Show.
