JTStarlet92 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 I've recently seen an anniversary edition fiesta zs in lime green for sale in a showroom close to my house, im tempted to sell up and buy it but don't know if I could part with the starlet what to do? Anyone driven one of these? Quote
ryan lang Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 dont!! they are crap!one of the boys bought a yellow one (from new) and hes had nothing but trouble with it Quote
morgey Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 2 of my mates have got the st and st500 fezzies and if any body has told you starlets have a lively rear end think again. They will spin out in the blink of an eye! Plus both of them are the 2L and they are pretty gutless i dread to think what the 1.6 is like lol Quote
Socks Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Comfy cars and nice interiors...Stand out and limited edition...Slow tho... Very Slow 10secs+ to 60mph!They dont suffer from any major issues tho! Quote
MARC MOSS Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 dont!! they are crap!one of the boys bought a yellow one (from new) and hes had nothing but trouble with itx2 Quote
Fozzie Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Woman from work had a new Fiesta and it was constantly in the garage. Needed a new sump after less than 3 years because the old one was bent! Quote
Azz Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 My ex misses had one of the diesel limited edition ones and imo the only good thing about it was being enough room on the backseats haha Quote
morgey Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Mates thrust bearing destroyed itself at 60k ended up in like 20 bits lol but other than that the normal St has been good the other never gets driven, and Comfy yes i would agree until you put coilovers on then id rather be in my starlet tbh Quote
Stefan_s Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 My old 1.4 civic pulled away from zetec s fiestas, I'd stick to the starlet if I was you Quote
Matt1878 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Couldn't dream of swapping my Starlet for a fiesta! Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Good enough cars but going from boost to this will be painful like socks said they are very slow ud regret it in about a month imo it would be a step down. Ive got a corsa vxr which are considerably more powerful and it is to be quite honest PISH Quote
Turbo Goose Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 My brother had a zetec s and sold it in within the month, pretty slow for what they are. Hes gone back to jap now, bought him and his Mrs a type R each, bastard Quote
Amjad Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Can't comment on owning the car itself but in that colour they are disgusting IMO! Quote
WalshslaW Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 i drive my mums from time to time, its slow, heavy and completely joyless to drive, you will regret it!! Quote

StuDoc 72 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 They are about 9-11 secs to 60 mate check autogaydar. Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Fiesta zs's are between 9-11 sr's would be about 13-14 maybe a bit more.Correction 9.9 for celebration ZS11.9 for starlet lolSo you'd barely notice the difference from an n/a. Would be considerably quicker after 60mph id imagine. Edited January 8, 2013 by StuDoc 72 Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 nope, SRs standard do it in a reported 10.6 secs, i hit bang on 10 with a decat and induction, never did try it with the stripped interior and my fuellin cranked up, rly wish i did tho, was quick Quote
