$22990.00. 1k less than a swift sport.
The above is not quite correct. No rear discs, no HID lamps, 5 speed manual only, no CVT. That is from a comparison chart with the Swift. |

Great price, with only a limited number coming into the country they should go quickly.

Pity the 'new' WT fiesta looks cheap compared to the WS IMO. Interesting the pic in the article shows what looks like a WS? Reckon it will sell no worries though.
Edit- just noticed OP says WS, surely it isnt? Or am i mistaken

It's a pity it's taken 3 yrs to cone out from England. The zetec should have come with this tune from 2010.... Also a pity a standard Kia Rio still has 103kW....

So is this old stock ie 2011 from the Uk?
What does shorter ratios mean? What would this be revving at 110km/hr. |

Seems like its euro stock they havent moved... still it looks pretty phat and comes with all the gear we missed out on, like keyless start, heated seats, climate control etc etc

Too much anti Korea on here. I hate them as well but give the Rio a chance. As said it will probably not corner like it's on rails like the Fiesta. but 8.7 seconds out of a 1.6 isn't bad. 6 speed is over kill in a 1.6 though unless you do a lot of highway and like a low revving engine whilst doing so.

Now had this been about before I ordered my Titanium, I reckon I'd be pretty keen for one!!! Great move here IMHO, getting some of the classic WS models back.

Not sure where the info is Copied and pasted from, however we don't get the HID lights....they are projectors, however not HID...
EDIT: data has been copied and pasted from the DCB, however a little poorly... The mix up with power and torque having double info and the HID's is based on the Suzuki Swift Sport... a table which shows where the Ford has the advantages over the Suzuki...

That was established earlier in the post.. However I am looking forward to seeing the fiesta metel and taking it for a drive, hopefully it has a nice little exhaust note on it and keep us happy until the fiesta st comes up, if it does come out in aus
