Can't go wrong with a Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1.6 Petrol?

Beating cars at the lights? not really. I owned one and it's not at all quick - around 9.5 seconds to 60. Being a Fiesta the handling is great though, and I got 47mpg from mine, although talking about racing people at the lights sounds like you won't get anywhere near that.
haha, well it will be much quicker than my 1.2 corsa energy..I have had mine for nearly 6 years now (55 plate) it has been good for the most part, the only negative during that time is a blown headgasket recently.
In terms of beating people off the line...well you won't be beating too many people I can assure you of that. It's just not a quick car, although I'm not that sort of driver. It is a very fun car to drive though and I have enjoyed the 6 years of ownership.
It's cheap to run, I regularly get between 40-45 mpg and parts are cheap too if anything does go wrong. I do feel as if I have now out grown it being 23, however with it being just your second car it would seem to be a good fit.

yeah, the ST 2.0 will be too much to run though surely?
Have you tried getting an insurance quote? Can't be too thirsty if you drive sensibly most of the time...Are you planning on waiting until you have 1 years NCB? Will make a big difference to the premium
