This was said by someone off a fiesta forum about the fiesta ST.
"Even though it's not even remotely aimed at competing with the Clio (the ST is cheaper to buy, cheaper to insure and cheaper to maintain) the ST holds its own against the Clio on a track, e.g. the ST is 0.1s slower than a 182 round the 'ring. The Clio's extra bhp is high up in the rev range too so unless you cane it absolutely everywhere you won't notice much difference - in the low and middle rev ranges, the two cars are very similar in performance.
If you bought an ST over a Clio, then spent the difference on engine mods (you'd get manifold, exhaust, induction easily with that amount of cash), you'd wee on a Clio. "
I was just wondering what you clio people thought of this? And the fiesta ST in general.
