The Ford Fiesta Rs 1800cc Is My First Ever Ford, A
The Ford Fiesta RS 1800cc is my first ever Ford, and I am very impressed. the Fiesta RS 1800 is a very rare car. Rarer than the Fiesta RS turbo. Mine is a K reg with a few mods. It had only covered 70,000 miles, and has a full Ford service history, and I am the 3rd owner. It has a 4" Magnex stainless back-box and middle section. It has been superchipped, and has piper-cross air filter, performance spark leads and plugs. It also has 143bhp 13bhp above standard 130bhp. The car has original RS 14" alloys, M3 mirrors and tinted windows. It is very quick, but I think it has to be the best handling hot hatch I have driven, considering its standard springs and shocks. It handles better than any Nova, Corsa or Saxo, and no Corsa or Saxo will beat it, unless your Corsa has a 2.0. A Saxo VTS will be slightly in front up to about 70mph, after that the RS1800 storms ahead and destroys it. I raced a Saxo VTS and left it all the way to 80mph. So I have 143bhp and a Saxo has 120bhp. The RS 1800 does 0-60 in about 8.3 seconds standard, and a Saxo VTS in 7.7sec. A similar rival to the RS 1800 is the Clio 16v, which has a 1.8 16v, and has 137bhp doing 7.7sec from 0-60, but the RS 1800 is faster mid range. I had a Clio 16v which is a better built car, but it had too many engine problems, and the RS 1800 seems more fun to drive. The suspension is very stiff and you feel every bump. Most people look at the side of it and just think it's a XR2i. If you own an XR2i 1.8 16v Zetec, I would recommend the RS 1800 because it is far better. I don't think I will ever be sell my RS 1800.
Alright mate. Unfortunately I had to sell the Fiesta. I basically woke up one morning and someone had broken into it by bending the top of the passenger door open. The alarm didn't go off. The immobilizer must have prevented them from getting off with it, but the doors are very weak; they just bent it open by hand. No tools! I managed to bend it back into position, but the door had a crease in it. It's the first car anyone has attempted to steal from me anyway. I parked it up by my mates, and I sold it straight away. I couldn't really keep the car at the time because I had no garage to keep it in. I sold it over 1 year ago now.
Ford can make some good sports cars, such as the RS1800 Focus etc. Just get a good alarm and be careful where you park it.
I completely agree with everything you said. I own a black Ford Fiesta RS 1800. It's an L-Reg, and it's done under 60,000. I have had all sensors changed, gearbox, ECU, brake sever, battery, plugs, leads, pads, discs, alternator, and the whole engine refurbished. I have also had new alloys. I still have the originals, but they need a refurb; and sound system. Mot lowered it because I'm worried it will stress the gearbox. I have the Recaro interior, which is excellent! It is really comfortable too.
Good review! Keep the car as it will be a collectors item soon.
Thanks
Adam
