I like the car but I’m not keen on the price.
At £27k its a lot of money. For only £2k more you could buy a pre reg BMW 330i M Sport. Of course it’s not a valid comparison but the point is you can buy a lot of car when you’re pushing towards £30k
A new 320i SE is £33935.00 a 318i SE £31590.00At £27k its a lot of money. For only £2k more you could buy a pre reg BMW 330i M Sport. Of course it’s not a valid comparison but the point is you can buy a lot of car when you’re pushing towards £30k
I expect that the market will price these correctly in time with the usual discounts on the Ford. No-on surely will be paying £27k for a Fiesta?

£27k for a Ford Fiesta? £21k pre registered Cooper S Sport with JCW pack is where I would place our money.
My Cooper S was £25k new with the options I have on it. These shopping cars are expensive nowadays for sure. So I can see why many would go to the next class up in car, for more performance/more car for the money. This size and weight of car are good fun to drive though I reckon, and they don't feel big/heavy to throw around on a nice twisty road.

Is there any difference at all to the orange Performance Edition released last year minus the paint colour? It seems to me to be the same exact car.
Not really. Has a sport button on the steering wheel. As for the price, it's an RRP. We paid nothing like that for our Performance Edition. Brilliant little car, and a hoot to drive.

The interesting thing that struck me Lee was, like for like, that with the news stories on this Fiesta, the delivery mileage Capri 2.8 and the Exige S V6 .....they all weigh the same!JTN358AT said:
1255kgs! That is quite heavy for a small hatchback. I wonder why it weighs so much?
They're not actually small cars anymore. I was given an ST Line as a courtesy car from the local alignment place and as surprised at the size of it. It felt loads bigger than my old Mk7.£27k does seem like a lot of money and pushes it close to cars from the next size up (eg BMW 128ti). If there are only 300 of these, will there be good discounts like on the standard cars?

Quick Google and Autocar say its 71mm longer and 12mm wider - its a wee bit bigger but they've clearly worked on the packaging because it felt fare more roomy than my old Zetec S inside.Podie said:

We had a Mk7.5 ST and now have a Mk8 ST - it doesn't take up much more room in the garage. Interior is much better packaged. Same is true of the Mk4 Focus comapred to the Mk3.Surprisingly little difference in exterior dimensions but the higher bonnet line of the new one makes it seem a lot bigger and wider
