wants to fondle your manboobs
So my good old Fiesta is gone, here is the new one :
It's the 'S' model so basically a ST with a 1.6l TDci engine rather than the big 2.0l petrol, 16" alloys rather than the big 17" alloys and slightly softer suspensions.
The suspensions are stiffer than my old Fiesta so I have to get used to be less comfortable, but that should help on the N?rburgring
So should the engine, so you may think Diesel is evil and should not be considered as "sporty", and with 90hp you'd be right, but this car got so much torque (200NM) that it's a blast to drive. Many journalists actually prefer the 1.6l TDci rather than the big 2.0l of the ST which got more power but much less torque.
As far as the chassis is concerned, it's classic Ford so it handles great and with the stiffer suspensions there is hardly any body roll.
It's got some toys too in it:
AUX socket to plug the iPod, auto windscreen wipers, auto headlights, auto folding mirrors and all the standard other toys you find in this kind of cars (electric windows, etc.).
Most of this I could do without but hey, they are here so why not enjoy them
