Default Black Zetec

I have ordered a Black 3 door Zetec, was told a delivery date could not be given until deposit was paid ( yeh right !). Now most likely June - ordered in February. Anyway, I have not seen any pics of a Black 3 door. Please could somebody give me a taste of what I am desperately waiting for?

There is a black Zetec around here.

Not sure what you are after - it's black.



Looks too "heavy" for such a small car if you understand that.

I am a black car fanatic (and heavily into detailing)

I'd avoid it if I were you although I'm impressed with the Fiesta clearcote/paint - seems to handle the envirnonment well.

Thanks guys, although I cant really avoid it as I have paid for it! I have previously purchased 8 new Ford vehicles and only sighted 1 of those. I have always been happy but have relied on blind faith.

The WS itself is a great car - very impressed with our Zetec (we bought sight unseen)

Well ahead of the Mazda2 (which was the class leader)

However, as for black, you know the story ....

My missus has a black 5 door zetec(manual) and let me tell you, if you can be stuffed keeping the duco clean, then black really looks the goods. I enjoy washhing the car so the color really isnt an issue. Its not a flat black either but a mettallic black and really sparkles in the sun. Beleive me you wont regret it. Will post up some pics soon.

I love this car and my only gripe thus far is the window switches are too far back on the arm rest and the air-con could be colder...

Firstly Pitpal you don't live in Wollongong NSW? As I have also seen a black 5 door Zetec and must say looked really nice.
It's the only Zetec I have seen locally and properly the only one ATM.

The black is the second most popular colour in the U.K I think so chances are it looks very good

Silver is the most popular colour choice in cars (for obvious reasons) but looks shocking

The Zetec looks good in black as it has the chrome to break it but in non-Zetec it doesn't look much at all. Could mistake it for a Mazda2 (but maybe that is a good thing)

Not in Fiesta's in Europe Magenta in the most popular colour I think , either that or black. Not sure where silver ranks, Moondust silver is sexy as you need your eyes tested

Nah mate, I meant cars overall.

People choose silver for it's ease to maintain.

Black on the other hand .... ;)

Still, would always go black over any silver. Silver is just so old man boring.

I had orginally ordered the Vision Zetec for my wife, but are now looking to change it to the panther black with the trudie coloured interior. I saw one at the dealers that was sold and it was stunning. Should look the business with the optional 17". I would be interested in seeing some pictures of a black one to.
