mitch84 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 hi im fairly new to these forums but im finding most people on here seem to have either a zetec s or titanium , is there anyone on here that has the more standard specs like the studio or standard zetec ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have a Zetec, its not standard but has a few extras. :) What would you like to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch84 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have a Zetec, its not standard but has a few extras. :) What would you like to know? ambient lighting is this like a cortesy light that comes on with opening of doors and then goes out or is it on all the time when driving? could i also ask what engine size you have and how you find it ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have the standard Zetec 1.25. The ambient lighting stays on all the time, the footwell lights and the roof light are courtesy lights. Personally I wanted a bigger engine or the Titanium but my budget wouldn't allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I have the 1.25. It is perfectly adequate for me, it has brilliant acceleration and I love it :-) The ambient lighting stays on all the time when I am driving. You can turn it off if u want though.

Purdy fpv Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Isn't the studio the bog standard base model. Like the old encores use to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulworthing Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Check out the differnence int he specification and see if the stuff you get extra on the Zetec is stuff that you really want. I would always say that you should buy the best you can afford and then make the decision about Zetec S or Titanium (as they are the same price) if and when you can afford that level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyjaj Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 where does the ambient lighting emit from ?cheers It comes from the roof, glove box and centre consoles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Would agree with Paul, check the specs to ensure they are what you want - I wouldn't say the ambient lighting is a deal maker, and would also say go with the best you can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M.K Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi Mitch, I have a 1.4 petrol Zetec which is 95% the same inside as a titanium, but the USB port is a must have option if you love your music. The ambient lighting is a poor attempt by ford in my view as you can hardly see it at night. The 1.4 TDCI engine is very slow and has very little power (had this engine in a hire car while mine was in for work) so i would of picked a 1.6 TDCI engine if i was after one.

Josh2000 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 My grandad has a 2007 FIESTA 1.25 Studio 3dr in COLORADO RED,HE HAS HAD THAT FOR SIX YEARS.HE IS GETTING A CHRYSLER DELTA IN MAY,HE NEARLY BOUGHT A DACIA SANDERO 1.2 LAUREATE IN CINDER RED LAST WEEK, FOR £9199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epu Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 im happy with what im getting (zetec 1.4tdci) , i just wanted to see if there are any fellow zetec owners on here as all i could see was zetec s or titanium threads , has anyone got a 1.4tdci engine? cheers 1.6tdci 95ps MK7 fiesta here when I got it I was really disappointed in the power/torque it could give out. My brothers B-class MB with its 109BHP CDI engine is a lot faster and on paper my fiesta should be faster cause its a lot lighter but that is not the case in the real world. However I overcame my disappointment shortly when I got to a quiet narrow/twisty road its really nice car to drive and doesn't feel as slow when you're cornering :). Still the 1.4 tdci should be better than your 1.1l citroen. Well Im getting mine chip tuned anyhow to get more power and less consumption.

Lol , I thought to check my notifications and see someone had quoted a post of mine , then checked and you quoted a 2009 post. Good old Fiesta , moved on since then now have a Focus, still miss it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
