kyle1 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Of course I have the money or I wouldn't be buying an ST-2 outright, but the question is: what's it like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I gave mine a run from Manchester to Stoke, 49mpg on the journey there and 46mpg back. It's not bad to say the least. Unfortunately not quite as good as my diesel daily :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle1 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 That's very decent, I drive on the A roads a lot so I guess I'm going to just see what happens. Worst comes to worst ill have to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craiglr Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Of course I have the money or I wouldn't be buying an ST-2 outright, but the question is: what's it like? i get around 32 mpg and i don't try to drive economicaly so i could easily get higher, pretty impresive for a quick car. after driving an rx8 the mpg was one of the factors that drew me to this car aswell as the awesome drive.

FOCA Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I think MPG has become an important factor when choosing a car now - even a performance car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 MPG figures drew me towards a 1.0 zetec s instead of a getting an st (along with insurance costs) petrol cost going up and up all the time and its only gonna get more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 at what speed?! Cruised between 55 and 60, as I tend to do in my not so youth days, you know, being 23 soon... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle1 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 This is a difficult situation, Zetec S 1.0 or Fiesta ST-2?!?!!?! Lord give me strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-2912 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 This is a difficult situation, Zetec S 1.0 or Fiesta ST-2?!?!!?! Lord give me strength. If you really want the ST and can afford the increased costs, get it. The ZS is a good car but if you are going to be filled with envy every time an ST goes by, wishing you had got one, that'll clearly be no fun. If you'd be content with a car that looks good and has decent handling but wont cost too much to run, get the ZS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle1 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 ST-2 was always my favorite option, loved it since the day I first saw one and the bucket(?) seats just looked amazing... I wouldn't drive too much other than to college/back (therefore saving petrol) If anything, I enjoy having speed, I love being able to shoot past someone if I had the opportunity. I'd set an allowance to spend on petrol a week etc, I mean the ZS with all the options I want will cost £14,400 but the ST will cost dead on £17,000... Will the ST hold its value much better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 ZS probably won't hold it's value as well, due to it being lower spec than the Titanium, and they're not overly different to buy new. The ST will hold it's value more, but then again you'll loose out anyway on the fact you're buying new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle1 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 However, I'm only paying £17,000 as opposed to the £19,000+ people pay currently. But I do agree, yeah. At the moment I work from home and don't have college so I'm always out with my friends but I think once I get the ST-2 (decision MADE) then I'll just be using it for home->college and just usual weekend outings. Will be good anyway, beautiful car and I've always wanted one since I first saw one (it beat me off the lights and I was so distraught lmao).

kyle1 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 ok maybe it sounded different to me, to me it seemed like you was trying to claim he's stupid. I appreciate you sticking up for me :-) Regardless, after speaking to Craig he's definitely convinced me to proceed with my ST-2! I'll definitely keep you guys updated, can't wait to drive my own!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiglr Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 like i said the best thing you can do is try one out and you could even go for the st-1 which is the same car just less options most of them arent necessary anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure on the differences but the leather seats are a must, especially because they're heated... simply amazing. And I'd want the privacy glass, push to start etc. I may sound like the snobbiest 17 year old you'll meet but money truly is no issue (self employed, own a business, no parents involved) and for the stuff i'm getting £17,000 is a steal, great investment if I do say so. Spirit blue ST-2 with smoke storm part leather seats Air conditioning + Electric Auto Temperature Control (EATC) Automatic headlights + automatic windscreen wipers + auto dimming rear view mirror Ford SYNC bluetooth connection with voice control and USB port Keyless entry with 'Ford Power' starter button Sony DAB radio/CD player Style pack - Fiesta ST Tyre repair kit I'd need the automatic headlights, I'm such a fail at putting them on myself (current car is automatic too) and I went for EATC because I can't stand the dial temperature bit, I'd prefer the one with the buttons.
