The paint work on the rear spoiler started bubbling and chipping off after only 10,000 miles, but Ford were quick to fix this fault.
The power steering pump failed after 13,000 miles, but again ford were quick off the mark to fix this after saying this is a fault that is very rarely seen.
Compared to the last car, this car goes around corners like it is on rails.
At a recent track day it embarrassed cars with a lot more power and and a few times the value around the twisty stuff, but struggled on the straight, but this will soon be sorted when I can find a good engineering firm to shoehorn in a two litre lump for me.
This has so many sporty pretensions it is just a shame that Ford could not have seen to give it a bit more power as it is not as though the car can't handle it. Roll on the Fiesta ST150.
I hope that will be a 2.0L Cossie engine!! Not one of those "average" RS2000 engines.
The engine going in the Fiesta ST150 is going to be taken from the Focus ST170. The power output will be 20BHP less due to a smaller throttle body and less fuel being fed to the injectors.
