Must admit it seems a lot when the base Falcon is less, has more room, and isn’t that far behind it in terms of speed performance. But then i’d never buy a small car due family committments. And no i’m not directly comparing the two.

TP, I’m back, sorry my head doesn’t fit in my ar*se, I’m amazed you said this Ford looks great, wonders will never cease, OMG but $37,000 was the down fall, no one said this is official, and by 2010 cars will be more expensive anyway, look at all the features manufacturers are adding as standard equipment, notice over the years and decades cars have increased initial costs, so then you are truly are delusional. hardly any posters have mentioned $37,000 aud is too much, I think your the odd one out here, sense is not that common not from u.

FPV should call it fiesta rs or f4, like the f6. (f6= falcon 6 so f4 should = fiesta 4)

Ford AC Cobra come back to me when youve taken your head out of your ar*se, I said the Fiesta look good… but if you think that $37k for a small hatchback is reasonable, then you truly are delusional. Other posters have mentioned it… I think clearly your the odd one out here, you lack common sense.

TW I dont think youve driven a Focus RS… I dont think youve driven a Blade. I doubt youve even researched much on the latter. So I think you lack any credibility in saying the Blade is a POS… on paper it looks very good and quite simply sh*ts over a Fiesta which as I said early youd expect given its a class up; 204kw, 344Nm and a HUGE list of features that I think would even dwarf the Focus RS.

NM no denying its alittle convercative compared to the RS’, but that doesnt take away from its performance credentials.

Hi TP & Co. Checked you blade out mate. Looks OK but a tad bland. Funny Toyota decided to re-name the Corrolla over here to “Auris”. The dealer next to my office has a nice sporty version for demo. Looks good just hope its got the diesel engine in it. Sadly at £17995 my money geos on the Golf.

As for this Ford Fiasco RS, nice wouldn’t mind seeing what afive door looks like though. Obviously not an RS version though.

OMG TP I can’t believe you just compared the Focus RS agains the POS toyota blade, considering how ballistic the last RS was do you seriously think the blade could keep up let alone handle anywhere near it.

This feista isn’t the st version its the full on RS as in it will be ballistic as well. Considering the st feista starts at $25,000 then $37,000 is no way overpriced.

TP……….Blade is just OK. Too too too bland still mate as looks too same as Corolla standard cardigan range.

I would not hesitate getting a new Fiesta followed by Yaris then the Mazda 2. The Fiesta leaves other two for dead on looks as more flowing and not weird overdone with very upswept upturned ‘smiling’ rear tailights like on Mazda 2 (this wrecks the look of the car for me)!
