You've got a mix of models and spec variants there....

Models: WS (German made and went from about 2008 to late 2010), followed by WT (that went to 2013).

Spec variants (from lowest to highest): CL, LX, Zetec. More or less the same engines in all (petrol at least), but more equipment as you go up the range.

Those are the main differences atleast. The German made - Thai made do have some other differences too.
In Particular the Thai made one ironed out some issues the German made one had such as rubbish air conditioning and weak alloy wheels, but if your looking for Auto the German one only got a 1.4L with a 4 speed auto (gutless) while the Thai made got the normal 1.6L with a 6 speed dual clutch gearbox (reliability issues).

They are great cars though thats for sure. Currently tossing up whether to sell mine or not and take on a company I30.

Company cars are great regardless of what they are,but an i30 is a bit of a backward step possibly

In some way yes, the bigger car is a big plus for me, but it definitely does not drive as nice as the Fiesta, and does not have the personality of the Fiesta, but in saying that its very comfortable, nice to drive and so on..

It an emotional issue...
