Postby mrorange2 on Sun Jul 31, 2011 10:14 pm

Well the Mondeo has gone and its been replaced with a Fiesta ST and i must say i love it. Its not going to set the world alite on performance but its also not slow.

I dont have big plans for me just the usual that people do lowering, milltek exhaust and K&N 57i (picking this up monday)

I love my Fiesta ST, although i never seem to get to drive it thanks to the other half always having it :rolleyes:

Surely you'll miss the economy of the mondeo though (presuming yours was the st155 not the 220?)

They handle superb as standard but sit a little high, with a small drop they still handle great although mine does seem a little stiff on the eibach springs but they look 100 times better when they are lowered slightly.

No cambelt to change either.

The return to standard, from the above sig pics - back to how Ford intended..............

Forgot i even posted this up. Cheers for comments the mondy went because it was at 70k and was getting to the point of needing new injectors, egr etc etc so i wanted shot before i had big money to pay out.

If i'm honest i do miss it a little bit but then i drive the lil fezzer again and i quickly forget i love it! Fuel wise its not as bad as i thought it would be i used to kill that mondeo everyday and get 44mpg out of it and i drive the fezzer alot easier but get 38 - 40 mpg so not that bad.

Since posting this ive had a K&N fitted and looking at exhaust next but it wont get to much done as i need to pull my finger out and get the RS back on the road.

Depends how you drive it Jony if i drive it how i drove the mondy then i get about 28 - 30mpg but on drive to work mainly motorway i get 40 - 41mpg so i'm happy. Needs a 6th gear tho really why Ford never put a 6 speeder on it i'll never know.
