I've recently bought one and the community is all about modding. I've looked into some bits and bobs and it very quickly becomes a money pit. I bought it because it does everything I want stock. 200hp is more than enough for the road, slip differential is great and it handles lovely. Interior has everything I want and felt quite nice to be back in a Ford, I had a Focus ST MK3, the fiesta is arguably faster obviously just smaller in the back.

Polo GTI only wins of the game is making a small hot hatch no fun with zero driver involvement but VW ruthless efficiency, although this time round with added disappointing plastics. The Polo GTI is not a bad car, and is a rapid and effective weapon but comes nowhere near to fulfilling the brief of what most people want from a hot hatch. But if you are not one of those people and that's all you want, then go for it. I would also prefer to put my money on the VW dealer network rather than the Ford if anything went wrong. But in this market where fun and involvement are the whole point, it says more about the driver than the car if you prefer the Polo GTI to just about anyone else's offering in this particular warmishly hot corner of the supermini marketplace.

Thanks for that Jay. I think the conclusion from this is that it's a big interior improvement, and that's important to me, infotainment especially (I know what you mean having experienced the awful system in the Mk7). Otherwise it's business as usual, which is to say excellent in almost every respect, just a different way of going about things particularly with the engine. Well it's the engine that's grabbing me! Unfortunately being out of work currently, this is going to have to sit on the side lines for a bit, but I'll definitely subscribe to Jonny's channel and keep my eyes open. The security of the car worries me a lot but perhaps there are ways of sorting that out. 3rd party security systems were all the rage back in the day, I had many, so perhaps there's going to be some kind of revival!

It's intl the lanes wjer I like to push my cars, and only at night when it's safe, and my car suits its output I think. Though I can have just ad much fun my my girls 2005 60hp ka. It may not be as quick, but it scares you more. I suppose its all about the application. Also I only get 30-32mpg now!

I own the Mk8.5. We needed a smaller car and Ford made me an offer I couldn't refuse - 😂- trading in my Mazda 6. I had to wait 18 months! I'm very happy so far though. It, in some ways, reminds me of my beloved CTR EP3. Certainly less spartan and more "modern" but the fun to be had is the same. IMHO. 🙂 It's also my sixth Ford, we actually own a Focus Mk2 SW as well, so I guess I might be consider kinda of a Ford fan. Don't tell that to Honda, they get jealous. 🤣 Jokes aside, I discovered your channel because of the various Alfa Romeo videos and I'm loving it so far! Cheers form Italy!

@logan861235 жыл бұрын
First of all great video as always. Regarding the car, I think it would be great, but I'm so wary about buying another Ford after my ownership experience of my 99 V6 Cougar. That car was meant to be simple and reliable, basically just a Mondeo underneath (etc etc). But every single thing that could possible break or fail on a car did so after around 90k miles, and I spent so much money keeping it going. The work I had to carry out included: CV joints, steering rack, water pump and housing (twice), head gasket, egr valve (twice), power steering cooling pipe, gear linkage cables, alternator, springs and dampers, top mounts, other bushes, fuel pump. Honestly the list goes on and on. Anyway around 4 years ago I got an 04 Jag XK8 and it has been so reliable in comparison (currently 90k miles) that I've really been put off the idea of cars which are cheap to buy initially. I also own a BMW e46 330ci and that's super reliable with 115k currently on the clock. I know that BMW and Jag parts are a bit more expensive, but I just trust that they will keep working for much longer. I owned a 56 plate (mk2) 1.8 Focus and that felt like a bit of a pile once it hit 110k miles too. So I don't know really, if I didn't have to worry about the very long term of ownership and I was just thrashing this Fiesta around within it's first 6 years of life, I would love it. But would I want to spend my own money on it and keep it, that's another story. And I know that people will say, oh well you just thrash it around for 6 years and then sell it, but I've learned so many times with cars that you get nothing back when you sell them. Like nothing at all. I had to practically give my Cougar away at £1000 and it was perfect, the Focus also went for around £1000. So whatever you choose to spend your money on, you'd better keep it until it literally needs to go to scrap yard. And if it needs to go to the scrapyard at barely over 100k miles, that's not exactly great value for a £15k car.
