I dont like the mk6 the newest id go personally is a mk5 zetec s

dont talk about mk6 fiestas on here. its a sore subject.

i like them if:

its a three door and it has the zetec spoiler on the bootlid. if not then no.

cheers

they are good cars

Tell him to get it.

Nothing wrong with them IMO, cheap to run, cheap tax and insurance.

Could ST spec it to make it look better but whats the point.

yeah i also learnt in one and it was a nice smooth drive, picks up really well (as much as my instructor let me) lol. bit too new though for me as you dont really have to drive it, if that makes sence!!

FEED ME MORE!!!!

As the lower models go there isn't a huge difference between most cars, so if he likes it then go for it.

If you want performance at a good price then look elsewhere.

yeah if you want performance just get a vts/clio/c2 and own the road

i like them, for a diesel i'd go for the mk6 zetec s 1.6tdci, its a belting engine and good fuel econemy also with its sporty goodness.

cool will pass on the messages.thansk for the comments.dont really like them myself prefer old scholl fezzies mk1-mk3

Depends what your friend wants?

I have a 1.4 diesel mk6 and i tell you the torque surprised a few on here, if you focus on driving it, it will shift almost as well as petrol version

If you get a 1.6 diesel and a remap youre laughing, but my 1.4 diesel returns me 76mpg on motorway and racing it round local roads gets me 50mpg

It ain't fast but great runaround car and torque means good progress

i was reading the pf mag and on a dyno the zetec s 1.6 with no mods produced 120bhp, better than the petrol equivalent

Thats no bad
