Ford Fiesta ST
Discussion
I'd suggest trying some online insurers first.
If it's too expensive how about a Zetec-S, very similar looks, I would guess handling with slightly better ride with the 16" wheels, worth a look

I understood very little of that.My mum had a Zetec S followed by an ST, both are great to drive, and the ST felt quite quick to me. This was a PH road test recently, and the conversation consisted of loads of people talking about how much better the Clio 182 and Skoda VRS are. Ignore it. The fiesta has a great chassis under it, and enough power to feel rapid on twisty roads. No it is not as fast as a 182, but I reckon it is far better to drive than a Skoda VRS even if it isn't much quicker. (but on public roads, where it isn't safe to push any of them to their limits, they would all be the same speed, give or take)
However, the ST is grp 13, the Zetec S grp 8. And whilst it is not as fast, it is lighter, a great little drive.
Hi, im 18 and have a fiesta ST which i am currently trying to sell, ive had it just over a year since i passed. Its a great car and you should definetly get one, my insurance is with admiral multicar, all my family have there cars under it and im on my dads insurance so it costs me £1700 which is'nt too bad i think.
My fiesta ST is black with full white stripes, quite a few extras on it, 56 reg, 14,000 miles.
£9,500 ono.

SO technically you're not earning your own no claims bonus and you're committing fraud! Hmmmmmm...My fiesta ST is black with full white stripes, quite a few extras on it, 56 reg, 14,000 miles.

I know im not earning my own no claims bonus but its not a problem for me, and how am i commiting fraud then????
If you have told the insurers your dad is the main driver but in fact you are. If that is the case then yep-it's fraud! However, if you are down as the main driver and the premium was reduced because your dad is down as a named driver then your OK.andy_hurst said:
Im 18 almost 19 and im looking at getting a fiesta ST! Has anyone got any opinions on them? know where i can pick one up cheap second hand? or know where i can get cheap insurance quotes?
Cheers
Or the previous shape Zetec-S. Peppy 1600 motor and Grp 8 insurance. Basically a Puma without the 1.7 motor as most of the underpinnings are carried across. Great chasssis and a bit cheaper for your budget.Cheers
