Fiesta ST mk7.5 vs mk8

[JohnnyMc]

Looking at a 17 plate dealer demo car. £13k on the screen.

Madness with the mk8 on the horizon?

Old car - established rep for MP215 and warranty still got a couple of years!

New car - factory spec diff plus proper modern interior!

The new ST’s pricing is due in May in the UK, maybe earlier, from what I’ve read on another forum (not sure if I can post link?). Ford has started taking orders in other countries so I guess factory orders will be in around August/September. Maybe wait another few weeks as release of the new model should push prices down of the mk7.5?

I guess others can tell you more on driving the current model but I had a quick test drive 2 years ago and it was certainly fun and felt quick. However the ride was too firm (think they’ve fixed this now) and interior too plasticky for my liking. The new one appears to have fixed both of these problems.
