What's the Fiesta Zetec S like ?
Discussion
I had one brand new back in 2000 - was a great car then, sold it after the free insurance ran out.
Question is, wanted a cheap run-about for my girlfriend and it seems I could buy a sensible Fiesta 1.25 in some bland colour and it would be alright... or I could get a Zetec S instead... both seem to be going for more or less the same money.
The Zetec S would be more fun, but I'm worried that perhaps since the Zetec S is a boy racer car (I used to rag the nuts off mine, straight from the showroom, didn't even run it in) any Zetec S I buy will be knackered and I should probably get the more sensible choice instead?
Anyone got any opinions on this?
I don't mind a little bit of work as I'm a mechanic so can fix anything pretty eaisly and cheaply... just don't want to waste too much time looking at loads of wrecked Zetec esses.

Hmm... but would the Zetec S be better than a classic Saab 900 16v Turbo Convertible? I know of a cheap one I could get. I've got four of the Saab 900's already and two shed loads of spares. Just the fuel consumption is a bit high. I know how to get it up to 220hp with a few free tweaks.
