I had a 2005 WP fiesta, 1.6 for a year or two. It drove really well. Punchy enough and really good handling. Nice hydraulic power steering too, not overly assisted. The only thing I didn't like was the engine was breathless up top, so didn't reward redlining, the cable gearshift couldn't be rushed and you say very high in the car. Otherwise, so much better than the equivalent Hyundai, Toyota etc.

Have you driven the 1.6 Ka of a similar time? Or a mk1 1.6 focus with the zetec se engine
Wondering how they compare.
Ka is lighter while the focus is similar weight to the fiesta.

I have never driven a ka. Some focuses but the only one that stood out was a 2001 st170. At the time I thought that was the only real hatch to better the GTi6.
