MarkCup's Fiesta ST

[cafcross]

I was told by Ford that if you finish the deal and start a new deal then marks aren't that major a thing (kerbing, stone chips etc - not big scrapes). But if you walk away at the end of the deal then that is when they start going over the car with a fine toothcomb.

I can't see tyres being an issue, unless the car was supplied with run flats from factory, and they were replaced with normal tyres.

 

[Martin_172]

we tried high millage leasing on driving school cars, wasn't worth it in the end however wasn't too many major problems come hand back time they charged us for kerbed alloys and marks on the roof from the signs

 

[Detail Chris]

Not an ITB clio that's for sure!

Wanna bet! 215+bhp and 250lbft against what 200-210 ish and 170 lbft

It won't have 245bhp with that spec, simply because of the moutune map. If it had Finsport or Revo and those hardware mods it would be 245-255bhp

 

[clarkey23]

I've been given the delivery date for my st, Tuesday 15th April. Very exciting and funny to see soo many members on here getting one

 

[Sir_Dave]

If everyone is getting them from G2L, can you pm me your name please - as said in the other thread, im trying to set up a business partnership with them at the mo.

Yeah I would still bet on the ITB'd clio tbh.

 

[silentsnake]

The st has arrived today. I'm absolutely in love.

The sound is awesome, everything about it is.

The bloke who picked my other (lease) car up to take to auction had no problems with the car. The 2 front tyres which were not what came on the car were fine. All he checked was the levels of tread.

Now im off to put some more miles on the little beast

Fair enough. I've had both, and my statement still stands

lol, good man! A revo map like you say going up to 245bhp would be quality.

 

[craigy2703]

Off topic, but I think you passed me on the A1 near Bedford? I was in a 172 Cup between 10-30 and 11-00ish on Monday, , the colour looks better in the flesh and just a small Mount Tune yellow badge on the hatch if it was you.

Well I've only just got in, literally been blasting about all night. All I can say is I can't wait to drive it again tommorow. I had to give it a wash too, the thing was covered in that terrible dust.

Averaging 35.1mpg at the minute after a fair few miles of relaxed driving. The guy who dropped it off for me got 47mpg all the way here (motorway driving).

Ill try and get some pictures up tomorrow, even though it's filthy again.

Anyone thinking of getting one, GET ONE. There can't be a better car for the money at the min, I.e £200 a month.

Not me, I was sat in a meeting desperately trying to stay interested.

 

[Gally]

47Mpg, in a great hot hatch. The game has truly moved on!

 

[treemanx]

Hero!

 

[Ian_182]

I had a chance to look round a lovely dark blue metallic one today and I must say I am impressed.

 

[ChrisR]

Wife's V5 and tax disc arrived this week, just need the car to now!

 

[makavelli]

The Spirit Blue ST2 has driven me to sell the FN2 after 4 years ownership! i will report back once i get it!

 

[MarkCup]

Ha ha ha, this is getting ridiculous now! I've still only seen two others on the road though in 16k miles.

 

[leeds_182]

'He did the drive and stare on you didn't he?'

On his mum.

Dave's lease thread has led to at least 10 CS purchases haha!

 

[ColinG]

I see and love these most days now! Look great in all colours!

Ive still not seen a single 200T on the road, where the hell are they all???

How long has the 200T been on the road now? I've seen 1 and that's it!

 

[Gray]

I was just thinking this today... saw my first one on the road today!

 

[welshname]

I've still not seen one. IMO the non sport looks great, but the RS model is just everything that no one wanted it to be.

 

[MarkCup]

As there's a lot of interest in the little Fiesta right now here's a cost of ownership update. There's been an addition to the repair costs this weekend, £19.02 for a touch up kit as I now have the mother of all stone chips right on the leading edge of the bonnet. Grrr.
