What a useless piece of s
t this car is.
20 year old Imprezas that cost about 2k could spank it, not to mention even the earlier liberty RS's, and this car would know which way they went.
I cant believe you boys are getting moist about some 2013 car that still hasn't made it into the 90's...

That's why Subaru are selling so many cars in the UK ... oh, wait....
I'll start a Reader's Car thread when I've got access to a computer but I picked my Fiesta ST on Friday.
Done about 500 miles since and I've been grinning for everyone of them. It really is such a fun car and whilst it isn't the quickest car, you put your foot down for a second and look down at the speedo only to be shocked at how quickly you're going (especially in a Fiesta).
It really comes to life in the corners though, handles like a go-kart on steroids and feels so poised all the time.
I can tell I'm going to get on with this car very well indeed!

You didn't happen to order your car with a spare wheel and could tell me the wheel and tyre size by any chance?Done about 500 miles since and I've been grinning for everyone of them.

Three out of 5 though?ali4390 said:
Mine has the mini spare wheel which is 15" x 4". The other spare wheel is 14" x 5.5". If you need more precise info, you'll have to let me check it out later.
Thanks, if you could please. I'l like to know the tyre size for both. Hoping I can keep the 14" spare from my Zetec S but was aware the ST came with a 15" spare and thought that might be to fit over larger discs. What do you mean when you say "the other spare is 14"? That's not an option for the ST is it?tulloch said:

I stand corrected, it is currently showing as an available option in the price list on the Ford website but I have just double checked and it is only the mini spare wheel that is available.Won't be able to check until tonight but I'll let you know.

He seems to be a bit of a Subaru/Lexus fan boy and anything that isn't either of those is s

Nice. I'm starting to get a little tempted, at least to have a test drive. Ali - I notice you've a Z4 Coupe too - are you swapping for the Fiesta, or is it an extra car? I'm in a similar boat (have Z4 Coupe) and am thinking I need something more practical that the missus will drive, and with fond memories of my Mini Cooper, I'm thinking about a hot hatch. I'll be interested to see how you get on with it and whether you miss the Z4!Done about 500 miles since and I've been grinning for everyone of them.
