Im tempted in a 2010 Focus Zetec S .. its a mk2.5 but a diesel . A 1.8 tdci engine . It looks an amazing looking car with the wheels bodykit etc .... is the S model basically the same as a Normal Zetec

or is it based on an ST ?

Advice greatly recieved please .

    It's not entirely based on the ST but looks very similar in ways and yes the zts is very nice. It's basically the zetec but with extra stying and slightly stiffer springs to match.

    Also, although the 1.8 TDCi isn't the most refined engine in the world, it's got shove when booted and it doesn't have a crappy DPF.

    There's nothing 'performance' about a Mk 2.5 Zetec S, it's the same engine's found in normal Zetec's,

    (apart from the Zetec S 1.6 Ti-VCT 115bhp over standard Zetec 1.6 100bhp).

    It's all about the styling, they've got the ST skirt & spoiler with unique sporty grill, diffuser and alloy's.

    Inside extras are basically Aluminium Sport Pedals and Chrome Handbrake (possibly a gear knob).

     

    I will say though, having a car that looks better does make you feel better, even if you can't beat anyone in a race lol.
