Hmmm I feel this statement is a sterotypical view...I have a Zetec-S and have not needed to spend a penny on it whilst owning it...

Fords probably one of the most reliable - affordable cars you can get

i did want to build a corsa gsi with tb's and 16's etc,
But as im away at uni next year and need a car to commute there and back sometimes and also go see mates all over the country i cant have a tb'd corsa due to mpg, and reliablility!!
So focus and zetec s have my vote, both under 10 secs 0-60 and grp 8 insurance

1.8 zetecs have really good tuning potential, they are basically the same engine as the 2.0 zetecs,
have a look on the ffoc.co.uk site, ppl are rolling roading the 1.8 zetecs with simple mods ( increased throttle body, filters, cat backs and chips) at 140-150 BHP

1.8 16v zetec is 10.3 to 60 123top end the 2.0 is 9.5 to 60
personally i like the focus although id never have one just a vauxhall ford thing like liverpool v man utd
what makes me laugh is how peeps say the zetec-s is better than the corsasport specially inside look how well upholstered the corsa is compared to the festa the festa is just clipped on plastic everywhere biult like a saxo tinny/plasticy/rattly french shite with a british name on it lol lol

yeh i have been looking on there!!
And them mods wont fill my insurance,
also zetec s has the van aaken turbo for £1500 which gives 170 bhp with unichip!! he he he
i love my corsas to bits but cant insure a 1.6 sport, and a 1.4 ive had and done!! i cant have corsas all my life!
If i was to have another one it would be in 2 yrs built to a massive spec with c20xe and tb's! but thats then!! i love the corsa interior as well

I think those ppl who hav had probs hav bought raged ones or paid £25 for a F Reg Fiesta 
I had a G Reg Fiesta Ghia a few years back (before i took my test), gotta say i didn't hav a prob. But then again it was stood on the drive for 6 months Wen i did pass da insurance was to much (£1700 TPFT). I like Fords though
