Saxo 1.1 or Fiesta Ghia 1.25 16v
I have the oppurtunity to have a Fiesta (at no cost) and sell the saxo, as my cousins got a new car... I can't decide what to do though!
Which is the better/faster car?
It's the same as this but dark blue:
And here's mine:
Thoughts?

depends on what condition both cars are in
fiestas are arguably more reliable than a saxo (obv depending on condition)
and if reliablity is what your after, id go for the fiesta

his car may be on 190,000miles and about to fail its mot
the fiesta may be on 30,000miles, and in perfect condition
gotta find out the facts before judgement can be made

agree that fiestas look gash

id get it, sell both cars and buy a better car.. simple

The fiesta is a lower milage than mine, a year newer, and in mint condition. I wasn't too keen at first but after seeing some modded ones it's really growing on me. Would the fiesta be much quicker than mine?
I'm thinking about buying some new alloys (4 studs make it much easier for me to mod this car) and maybe ZS kitting it.

get the fiesta, it'l eel better built, will be heavier to drive (even with the power steering i noticed it). i drove my m8s x reg zetec s the other day, car isnt as light as saxo but i prefer the chunky steering wheel. will feel slightly quicker as said above. im thinking of doing this because i cant pull 900 out of no where to re insure mine lol
