Standard they're no cop at all. A GTi-6 would walk all over it. The engine seems to have scope, but after mild investigation they weren't the hotness I expected. I've been told the engines can be unreliable once tuned and like Des said, if it's been moddded it'll have had a hard life sideways.

I was all go for one but I knew it wouldn't be my kinda car really. It's not the sort of thing you'd chuck about. The running costs would be expensive really and I wouldn't suggestion going from a 1.4 Fiesta FWD to 2L turbo RWD. :lol:

S14a all the way if you do go.

I appreciate the concern guys, but i'm always cautious in any car anyway. I've neveer even took the fiesta to the limits, purely because it wasn't designed too, and only after a year of ownership did i really start to push it. I'm so glad you care though *blushes* teehee.

It's just another option really, as pretty much a lot of cars have opened up to me suddenly in the insurance range, and with financial situations getting better, i can just have more scope.

If i did choose an sx, it would be the S14a like des and co have mentioned, but at this moment in time there are about 5 serious competitors for my money.

The only thing the Sx doesn't give me is looks, and I want Looks, Style, Speed and Superb Handling. I've had my fun with a little car, now I want something that can keep me happy for a few years at least and that I won't feel bad for repairing or replacing parts for, unlike the Fiesta.

Oh and Fi tells me I am not allowed an SX. "as it's just ugly, big and stupid".

Don't get me wrong Ry, I'm not saying you're going to thrape the fcuk out of it and wrap it round the first oak tree you see. I was just saying it's a completely different driving experience which may catch you out if you don't learn it properly first.

Anyways, back to the actual car...shafe! I likes 'em, just not in red. Rest of the colours are ok, green being the worst, but still looks ok.
