Verdict: Attractive, fiesty and warm alternative to its hot hatch big brother – the ST
Business Car Manager Verdict
If you’re a business buyer who hankers for a fast Fiesta, there is much to like about the latest Black and red editions of the Fiesta Zetec-S.
Although not as fast as the storming ST, you won’t feel short changed by the sporty performance of this new 138bhp version of the 1.0-litre triple.
The fact that it should be cheaper to run and with the softer suspension, easier to live with, could swing the deal.
