i'm in partial, keep this = win get a mk6 ZS TDCI = win

id rather drive this than a faster car imo although i remember reading some RR' day results in pf and they had a bog standard zetec s tdci and it had 120bhp, must of been a minter from the the day it was made, reminds me of focus rs mk1, although they have an official bhp figure they all had different bhp.

This car just looks so right

I'd rather spend a little extra on insurance and an engine swap than £5k just on the car then the extras!

Keeeeep it!

sod the zetec, cvh the old girl

or join the mk6 crew

my arosas nice and modern stuff doesnt rattle and clunk etc.. but that can be boring

i`d still rather have my fiesta,i think. it stood out so much more than the arosa.

diesel is a good way to go though..

im tempted to buy an ibiza Fr PD TDi, map it will put it from 130bhp to 170bhp.

and ive also looked at the cupra version, which is 160bhp standard, a map will take it up to 200bhp and 300 lb/ft torque!

and they still do 50 mpg...

if you do buy a newer car, i`d try to keep the fiesta as well, as a project and show car.

My two pence worth

Plug: buy my side stripes

Serious: Depends what you like, diesel has loads of torque which is great in everyday driving and overtaking, good return on fuel, but then fuel is more expensive anyway, and using the engine in the torque band uses more diesel too

If you like the responsiveness and live feel of a petrol engine and the sound of a petrol then you will get bored of a diesel, but if you like the sound of tractors and arent bothered by noise and dont enjoy thrashing an engine then diesel will be awesome

I liked my diesel fiesta mk6 dont get me wrong, and the fuel economy was to die for i was laughing never used to go to petrol stations, it went on forever on a fiver, and the torque was handy, but it werent the same as a petrol, i missed the sound and the ragging of a petrol and its hunger to rev, which the diesel didnt like doing more than 3k, might aswell change up

Hope that helps

That car btw looks sick as

coilovers give such a hard ride! and a decent set for the mk6 is the Blistein B12 kit @ £862

springs are a good compromise as A: they are cheaper and B: still improve handling and looks
