fiesta zetec or saxo 1.4 furio ??

[Mugello]

heya all

im caught between two cars ....

im looking to buy a first time car soon (Aprill) but im caught between two cars.

1) saxo 1.4 furio

OR

2) mk4 fiesta 1.4 zetec

i say this because i was in my m8ts 1.25 fiesta zetec today and its quite fast reali mostly always over 80 -90ish (mph) easy, but can a 1.4 saxo achieve this speed easy?

so i ask you ..... wot would you rather have? which is faster? which is best as a first car? easiers to modify? best after basic mods? (exhaust, manifold, induction)

please post ya views n comments

Zetec S is better built imo and a nice car and i would rather have one over a 1.4

Why don't you look at a VTR? They can be found pretty cheap, usually cheaper than the furio. Between a vtr and zetec s would be hard i would think about the zetec s tbh won't be quite as fast to 60 as the zetec s but the zetec s will be the winner after 60 i would think.

hmmm

i think a VTS (1.6 is it?) will be too much for 1st time car, also insurance cost

wot u reckon?

[Mugello]

soz i meant * VTR *

Fiesta isnt build that much better than a Saxo tbh. Especially the Mk4. Mk6 maybe
better build quality.

Both cars wont have issues hitting that speed but rememeber they are small
hatchbacks with 5 speed boxes. So if your constantly doing them sort of speeds
I imagine you would be revving around 4000rpm and higher which wont be good
on fuel really.

I found the driving position better on the 106/saxo than the Fiesta. Interior
is more cheap and flimsy in the Fiesta. But exterior wise the Fiesta was that bit
better.

Good thing about the Fiestas too is that they dont have rear torsion bars like
the french tin cans do.

so they are quite evual tbh

down to the driver reali...

so is a VTS cheap to buy and insure then?

mugello

to buy = hmm not to bad

to insure = if you below 21 bring some vaseline with you

[Mugello]

hmm i see

well thats y i wanted a 1.4 furio ! cuz i cant afford the insurance on a VTS

so this brings me bak to the orignal question....

saxo 1.4 furio..... OR..... fiesta 1.4 zetec

tuff one

wot would u guys have given the two to pick from?

[DamoVTS]

your on a saxo forum mate lol.... so try guessing what 99% of us would pick lol

[rushy_23]

Well the Fiesta Zetec S is a bit bland imo, so compare that to a VTR (havent
driven any of the 1.4 models) and I would say the VTR is the more fun car to
drive.

The ZS is a better car overall though, only just.

[Mugello]

hehehe yeah

well any 1 raced with a fiesta zetec then ???

did u win ? if yes

[Dez]

and why not consider a VTR which isnt too bad on insurance - VTS will be higher on the insurance then a VTR

[Mugello]

hmmm i see

but a VTR is a 1.6 16v ???

bit big engine mabe for first time, and insurance could be high .... i mean like 2k insurance

[MikeCracknell]

Hehehe...

See my Signature....

Sold the VTS to go to a Zetec S.....

It might be slower, but I think the ZS rules....

Zetec S...but VTS is faster, and mine looks stunning

[Scattle]

Vtr is a 1.6 8V and vts is 1.6 16v matey, vtr would be less to insure.

ive just bought a furio and im really pleased with it
