SandyCat Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Any Metal owners on here? Been to see one and had a test drive. Wasn't able to wind it up much due to cameras etc but was impressed by the refinement and pick up in 4th and 5th. Didn't feel the need to rev the nuts off it or anything. It also had the Sony radio and climate control and reversing sensors. It certainly looks the part ! Must admit I am tempted if they can get the price right.

Marcr1 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I used to own an S1600 which is the same car, but wearing a different paint job. They're very nice cars indeed and they're pretty quick as well, you won't own the roads in it but quick none the less. They're ok on petrol to :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toppy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hi SandtCat I have had a metal for about 16 months & totally love it, the car handles like a dream and has the power when you need it. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone best car I have owned. Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCat Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks Toppy that's good to hear. Marc I agree they are the same mechanicals but what I like about the Metal is the interior with the full leather and different dash plus this one has the Sony DAB and climate etc. It's more like the new ST inside than the Zetec. I hope to decide this weekend anyway but it could go either way. They don't seem to be badged wither just having the Fiesta name only.

SandyCat Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Encouraging replies thanks. I agree the car looks the business. I have not yet had a phone call from the dealer. I have to agree price and there are a couple of minor cosmetic details to sort out but if it doesn't work out there will be others and it's best to hold out for the right one.

Stevek1909 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I've had a fiesta metal for nearly two years and to be perfectly honest I loved every minute of it great car to drive always put a smile on my face and the subtle differences make it stand out a tad more will be really sad to see it go.......well until I start the ST up.....and drive off into the sunset................. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k13r4n Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 If I were u I'd wait for the right spec and price Sent from my HTC One using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toppy Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I have got to agree with Steve, once my 2 years are up I will be straight in to get a ST, I love my metal but a ST is just at another level. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCat Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yes but sadly out of my budget. Maybe when they come onto the used car market in a couple of years but seeing how some of you guys are driving them already maybe not................. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k13r4n Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hopefully by then they will have a mk8 st so we can get a chance Sent from my HTC One using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCat Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 True. Actually they should all get a Focus ST then let us have theirs for around £5000. Depreciation hey? It's a right pig................ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
