Looking at getting a new car in June. I was looking at a 51/02 Fiesta Zetec S. What are peoples opinions on these.
If they don't like them please state why u don't and offer an alternative. Not looking to pay more than £7000 and insurance is an issue
Been quoted £700 on the Zetec S for insurance
Cheers

Zetec-s looks like a fiesta with a body kit. why not look to the MG ZS 1.4 as well

MG sounds like a good idea. Yeah it may be a tarted up Rover but they have good power plants compared to the competition.

can;t get a ZT that cheap. the ZS may be an option but the Zetec S is cheaper to insure

seen the ZR cheaper on auto trader all 51 plates at £6995. I think the fiesta is a better car though and the ZR is dearer to insure
