2001 Ford Fiesta Zetec-S from UK and Ireland - Comments

A bit dirty when bought.

Wow!!!

This car is the most amazing piece of work on the market.

It can beat an Audi TT and Nissan Skyline on tracks.

I can honestly say that this is the best handling car on the market.

It may only be as quick as a VTR, but it keeps up with BMW's and GTO's.

I've driven my mums Punto HGT. It is faster but does not handle anywhere as near as my Zetec-S (it is also very cheap).

You are living in dreamland if you think your Zetec S could beat an Audi TT or Nissan Skyline round a racetrack. In particular, the Skyline is the fastest production car in the world to lap the German racetrack Nurenberg (or whatever its called).

I don't think some poxy Fiesta will beat that!

I know it's taken me ages to reply, but I'd just like to say that I didn't make this quote up or even dream it.

I read this quote:

"The Zetec-S has the most amazing handling, it's even been known to have beaten Audi TT's and Nissan Skyline's on tracks"

I read this in Auto Express magazine on the review of the Toyota Yaris T Sport.

Even if this is wrong you can't blame me coz I only read it.

That'll be the old Nurburgring in Germany. I'm surprised the Nissan made it all the way round without breaking down to be honest. As for the Audi TT... you'd over steer off the track at the first corner (should you be mad enough to get in one in the first place)! I'd take the Zetec S, not only is it very good looking, it's safer and more economical than anything in it's class.

An Audi TT over-steering? They are the most under-steery cars going. All Audi cars naturally under-steer; but the old TT is a joke.

In fairness, it's only a tarted up mkIV Golf. No serious driver ever bought a TT.
