Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me the difference between a standard zetec and the sport version.

Many thanks..

aesthetics really, funky bumpers, skirts etc, larger spoiler, much the same after that

Thank you Dee.. :D

Depends on the year seen a zetec sport only difference was horrid alloys and a sport badge

yeah, I was referring to the facelift version, the 2.5, the standard zetec has the Sport suspension.

given the choice id go for the sport, or youll get the standard one and spend the rest of your cars life either trying to make it a sport or admiring it on other peoples cars.

I'm not sure about the mk3. some early Mk2.5 or late mk2 had a bastardized look of the two styles, looks a bit daft imo but I guess ford had left overs it needed to shift

It's on a 62 plate.I must admit i'm struggling to spot the differences.

Sorry, bit late to the party.

As long as it's the Mark 3 Focus Zetec S you're talking about then the basic differences are -

Sports suspension

Sports seats

Side skirts

Front spoiler and splitter

Rear skirt

Large rear spoiler with white high level brake light

LED tail lights

Centre arm rest

Z hand brake

Stop/start

Keyless start

Blue dash lights

17" alloys

Park an S next to a standrad Zetec and you'll see the difference

I was going so say there is no such thing as a "Zetec Sport"

theres a SPORT and theres a ZETEC, and then there is the ZETEC S

not sure on the Mark 3 though, I haven't looked at those

A 62 plate will be a Mark 3. There were Sport versions of the Mark 2 but I think the Zetec was better specified.

There isn't a Mark 3 Sport, there's Studio, Style, Econetic, Zetec, Zetec S, Titanium, Titanium X, ST1,2 and 3, and soon the RS range

Ok chaps thanks for all that,what's the s mean then on the zetec.

Sport probably

Special!:D I think mine is although ive only owned it 24hrs!

Did speak to the ford dealer today and he recons sport.

well, in my own opinion, the sport is the ST

Zetec S could mean "style" as they dropped the "style" name :D

Shiwarrior, you aren't going to win many friends by suggesting style :-) Style was a basic model.

S dedinitely means sports. Notice that's sports with a small s.

Although I agree with WES180, special is a good description as well

oh ok lol

I just thought as it added "cosmetics" and no "Engine" modifications, its Stylish! lol

When Vicky on Fifth Gear reviewed the first Focus ST(170),

She said 'ST' stood for 'Sports Technologies', the font/style of Zetec 'S' and ST are the same,

so I would imagine it is Zetec Sports.

Sports - Styling

Technologies - Power/Handling

Lol, how many posts are there going to be over this!!! Does it really matter, let it stand for whatever you want it to be. B)

Didn't know i'd start such a debate about the letter s. :D

My 'S' stands for 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'

Just waiting for Halfords to get the 'X' back in stock, then I can badge it up............ :P

Lol, might end up having to relocate that then to along the sill so it will fit!!!

Which car would you go for chaps, 12 plate zetec s at 18.500 miles or a 13 plate zetec at 10.300 miles.both are nearly the same price give or take a quid.

Zetec S looks better, so the Zetec S if you prefer the sportier look ?
