5 Door for an extra 4 quid a month!

Good price - averages on approx. £35 a week for 2 years leasing :wink:

Doing a very quick search , car is worth around the £16k mark new , a 2yr old model with 16k on the clock would be worth £11k max (and probably upto £2k less than this as a trade-in !) ..... That's a depreciation cost of between £5k and 7k !!

If its a new car you are after , these figures stack up quite favourably.

​yes great deal with navigation

8k miles over 2 yrs?

It was obvious for most :wink:

I've been looking at leasing deals for over 6 months and this could be the best yet! Thanks op. :stuck_out_tongue:
The 140 seems to be same price for a bit more power! :wink:

​great :laughing:

Bast deal

Best deal

Kinda naff having all this ST body kit with a 1.0 under the hood...

Good deal but also need to take into account Select's admin fee - about £250.

Wow Jesus 9.4 for a 1.0 is not bad!

I think I may have been spoilt a tad , now I think about it - you are probably right :wink:

5 Door for an extra 4 quid a month!

I've just returned one of these. It may not be the fastest car your money can buy but it's a very capable little car which has no trouble with motorways and even when pushed hard gets 45mpg.

The 140bhp is still 1.0 litre and does it in 9.0 secs! It's the turbo that helps! :wink:

I've got the 1.0 Ecoboost 140bhp Zetec S black one and it flies! bit juicy on the petrol when driven like a nutter but when driven like a old lady it's very good on fuel. But i love hearing the engine on this it gives a hiss (turbo) sound when changing up gears.

£102 a month 5k per annum and £850 upfront. This looks like a good deal for the ST line.

Haha, my first car was a 1.2 Fiesta and that did 13 secs... Halved it to 6.5 with my 208 GTI now though mwahaha!

No one would pay £16k for this, that's real ST money.

£12.5k tops via a broker.

But you drive a Peugeot now. I'd rather take the Ford.

Does this have the exact same look interior and exterior to the ST? looking on the Internet, I am getting different pictures with different alloys and basic seats. Anyone own this already?

Build quality of Peugeots seems better than Fords, in my experience.

I love racing against you guys , its so much fun (for me) lol :wink:

Not the same as the ST , the ST line is another trim altogether .... see here ...

We get it, you have a more powerful car.

Not in the ones I've owned. I'd even take a Citroen over a Peugeot, had a couple of them and faultless.

Peugeots are junk, lucky to get 6 months without needing garage attention.

My Fiesta had 5 different rattles after a couple of months. My previous car was a 10 year old Peugeot 206 which didn't rattle at all.

That changes things ..... my predictions on the 2nd hand value would of course differ too then , perhaps 7k value 2 years on , still a £5.5k loss on buying new and better with leasing I would have thought , no ?

What dya drive? :smile:

I got the Yeti deal which works out at £3k for 2 years inc all fees for the automatic model, but I seem to recall I missed even better deals on some other cars such as the Passat.

48 months looks a nice deal too.

Can't say I've had any issues either, not that I'd expect them on a flagship. Was going to go for Fiesta ST but the interior was tacky and a bit 'youthful'.

GTI has been fab so far, but so it should be for how much money she gets spent on her!

Rattles are not the best way to gauge reliability. On a 10 year old 206 everything would've already fell off so no rattles. :wink:

My wife had a KA which was a bag of s***, still not as bad as the Peugeot I had.

LOL , Not as much fun now as it used to be in my 'old mans' Passat estate .... the look on the faces of young sporty hatch drivers that eyed me at the lights before going 'lead foot' on me and consequently losing (badly !) was priceless :wink:
Makes me laugh now just thinking about it hehe , immature I know !

The 10 year old 206 was doing fine thanks. I'm not suggesting that rattles gauge reliability but they definitely do say something about construction quality.

LOL. Doesn't take long before the pub talk starts when there's a car deal.

Now there's an idea ....... I'll get my coat , now what time is the Wales game on ??? :wink:

You still haven't told us what you drive though!

Wouldn't have even tried to race you in my Passat , I only enter into these things when I am confident of winning , lol .....
More than happy to have a go now though , confident with my current 5.6 0-62 time and no bloody fwd wheel spinning this time either :wink:

Why does your 1.2 Punto do it in 8.9?

Don't wanna give the manufacturer a worse reputation than it already has , that's probably given it away now ! lol

Ah so you're an Audi driving ***** just as I expected :smile:

S3? Or S5? :wink:

I had a punto !!!!!! No way . ....... lol , didn't have it long mind (about 3 months iirc) , it was a sporting version about 6months old but it was awfu; , sure it was cheap to run but I value my life and wouldn't get back in one ... ever !!
I remember driving on the motorway , winds were high (but they have been much higher) and no word of a lie I could not stop the car entering into adjacent lanes of its own freewill , steering against it was useless ... scary didn't cover it :wink:

Before the Passat I had an A6 (great car btw) , wasn't a powerful one that I had (just the 1.8t) but a great drive nonetheless.

Unfortunately wrong on the Audi though !

Well I had a 50/50 chance.

you got it then !!

One of the worst cars I've driven was a hired Fiat Panda on a motorway journey on a fairly windy night. Terrible handling and super thirsty. Never again.

[/quote]S3? Or S5? :wink:[/quote]
Or S7 edge +?

Beamer?

Rooney 10, why are you comparing apples to oranges? If you want to do that i will kick your ass on my motorbike

yipeeee

No one pays list price for a Ford (or most others).

Ooooh lovely! M135i or something I guess?

Unfortunately a Fiesta ST or 208 GTI was about as far as I could go for a 20 year old with insurance as high as it is :disappointed:

LOL

It hasn't got a hood - no convertible Fiestas! :wink:

new model 525d M sport , remapped to 310 bhp / 600 nm torque , performance comparable to 535. Wont beat my mates Scooby though !!

Pheww that's some pace for a diesel... I'm sure the emissions testers would have a field day with that haha!

emissions are sweet buddy :wink:

Being the 3.0 , 6 cylinder it doesn't sound anything like a diesel to be honest , no rattling or anything !

Shall we give the thread back to the OP now , lol . I feel like I hijacked it !!

Sorry OP ------------- Great Deal btw , voted hot :wink:

Nah I wouldn't worry!! More comments = More exposure = More heat, they're probably sat smugly watching heat rise :wink:

picture is an st not the lesser st line

It's a great car that is too expensive for what it is to buy (it's a freaking £16k Fiesta that isn't even the fast version!), because of that engine. But to lease it seems a good deal.

​Sounds like a cracking deal on the Yeti.
I sold my Yeti after taking up the Passat Alltrack deal, really miss the old girl.

Great deal OP, heat.

OP, looks like the Fiesta 1.0 ST Line 140 is the same price, I'd update your title if I were you, although the deal is doing well already :sunglasses:

Wow this is a really good deal for a ST model. Although I highly doubt it gets 65mph and it only does 0-62 in 9.4 seconds? That's as fast as my 10 year old 1.6 fiesta...

Anything for the focus RS?

This is not the ST. It's a Zetec S made to look like an ST. Subtle changes but the ST has the 1.6 engine and is in another league. The Zetec S is by no means quick but it's not painfully slow either.

I lease a Zetec S red special edition and the 1.0 ecoboost engine is fantastic. Over 7k miles I have averaged 37.1mpg. Been incredibly impressed with the car and will look to replace it with something similar.

I think I paid just under £1k deposit and £116 per month.

I looked at this deal and for 5 door at 12K with 9 = 23 monthly payments it worked out at around 124 per month. just need to test drive one to see if I like the power.

Seems like those extra 17bhp cost a lot of fuel. I did 16k in my Zetec S 123bhp and when I handed the car back average mpg was 45. I was not driving it lightly either.

The satnav in the Fiesta isn't very good. I always end up using Google Maps app on my phone. Saying 'ok Google, navigate to [and say your friend's name, or an address, or a business name]' is a million times quicker and the map is better.

not that i jave seen all over 400 a momth wouldnt mind a dea on a new one feb next year in the new blue

Picture is wrong

This is better than the staff discount I get

Thanks

I have this car and I am extremely happy.. Although it's not the 'st line' so it's missing a few of the design flourishes this one will have.

Sure I would love an actual ST If I could afford it, but the little 1.0 is great. It might be only 123hp, but the fiesta is pretty light and it handles brilliantly so it's really good fun to drive. The engine is surprisingly quiet when driving normally but it does make a nice little hum when it's revved. I'm averaging about 40mpg at the minute with a mixture of city and motorway driving, but I have been driving it pretty hard. Oh and tax is free on this model too.

I'm probably going to remap mine to 155hp soon (which should be ~£400). Insane power for a 1 liter engine!

It's definitely worth considering a used one in my opinion if you're not desperate for the 'st line' edition or sat nav (My phone is better anyway) . I picked up my 2013 model for ~£8800.

Also, I'm not sure the picture in the description is correct. If you want to see what it really looks like have a look at the Ford Fiesta configurer on their website.

on the website? that's not helpful. if i order the car i want it to look like the one the picture shows haha not sth random turn up.

how does leasing cars work? like where would I pick this up from?

Free delivery to your home! :wink:

I know it's confusing but this is not an actual ST.

'ST line' is the trim level which means it has ST styling touches and suspension tweaks.

are they a reputable company?
looking at car leasing options but wanted to go to a garage arnold clark peter vardy etc but all i can see on their websites are finance options ie paying it over 3,4,5 years with interest.
though i know people who seemed to lease cars from them for 2/3 years then have had the option to trade it back.

Almost all leasing sites seem to get the pictures wrong! I'm certain they must get a lot of unhappy customers when the car turns up!

No disrespect but you really need to do some more research. The car doesn't come from the leasing company it comes from the main dealer in this case Ford. The lease company just does all the paperwork and finance etc. Thats why there is an admin fee on top. You could phone your main ford dealer and ask to speak to lease department and then see if they'll match this deal. Chances are unlikely they will. Don't forget the car will have 3 years warranty with Ford and Fiestas are very popular and reliable too! :wink:

My wife has one of these and is anyone can let me know how to get more than 39.3 mpg let me know!

Has anyone ordered one or enquired yet? I'm assuming it will be solid red at this price? Any other colour options will add about £18 per month which seems high?

Don't drive everywhere in second gear? Seriously though, I averaged 45mpg over 16k miles and was not going easy on the car.

Don't use the aircon unless absolutely necessary! Keep windows shut. Get into top gear asap. Cruise at 56mph. Go downhill in neutral and maybe turn engine off? :wink:

I tried using a trailer on the back of a RangRover TDV8i and still did not get near 65 mpg (that was in the fiesta) the RR did 34.5mpg with the train and load on! Fact......well the RR mpg. not the fiesta.

Depends on how you drive it, how long your average journey is, how often you're stuck in traffic, ambient temp/humidity etc.

In my Golf R, on my 20 mile commute on uncluttered roads it will do 33mpg in the Summer and 31mpg in the Winter with a heavy right foot. Add a bit of traffic to make my 30 minute commute a 50 minute journey and you're talking 29/30mpg. 5 mile journey from cold and i'm lucky to hit 27mpg. My cousin in London also has a Golf R and averages 18mpg taking almost an hour to do 12 miles!

What to lease? :stuck_out_tongue: Yeah right, Ford will sell every single one they build and for every penny they ask for them

They can be leased, it's just that it costs £400 per month amortised.

£400? You'll be so lucky on a personal plan. More like £500 for 2 years and mileage like this.

Which is why you should be buying one, considering their residuals will likely be fantastic

Same engine as my Zetec S but much cheaper than my lease, damn. What's the catch? I pay about £156 per month for 24months and 15k miles. Any idea what the excess mileage charge is?

I thought all these ST's I keep seeing everywhere could smoke me but apparently not. Fancy putting a 1.0 in what is supposed to be the top of the range sport model! I prefer the wheels on mine to be honest, bit of a bitch to clean though.

Can't seem to find any ST-lines on auto trader to have a look at / cheeky test drive before I lease

​Post a pic

Climate control?

Nothing special but I'm really not into those ST rims. Zetec S has the same big spoiler and black grill. Mine came with start/stop which is extra with this lease.

Here you go:

https://www.contracthireandleasing.com/car-leasing-companies/independent-brokers/uk-car-contracts/ford/focus-rs/94593361/

£416 per month on a personal lease with similar mileage. It can be done - but a PCP/outright purchase would be better as you say.

So I could go to my local Ford dealer and see what options they have. If it comes directly from Ford then why would my local Ford beach charge a different amount.
u say I need to do more research which is clearly what im trying to do by asking questions here, as I say online my local garagage mainly Peter vary and Arnold Clark which have Ford Vauxhall and all various brand dealerships here show nothing about car leasing on their website only finance options.

When returning the car after 2 years, do they inspect the car for damage, and how do they define what is acceptable after 2 years?

No options whatsoever doe for that price. Dropping £10k+ on one over two years is going to be a bad idea when it's entirely possible it will barely lose even half that value, if the residuals are anything like as good as the previous model

Here you go:
https://www.selectcarleasing.co.uk/faqs.html
:wink:

Was merely replying to the fact that you stated that these cars can't be leased for £400 per month.

They can't. £416 for 2 years with no options on the car or contract and it's an estimate, not a confirmed quote. Which is likely to be a bit higher realistically. You should budget more like £500.

We'll agree to disagree. :smiley:

I've got the 1 litre ecoboost fab car with the turbo. if you drive properly you'll get mpg in the 50s if you drive like me it's still 46mpg and it doesn't struggle at the higher speeds

i have the 140 bhp red wdition and by far the most fun i have had driving a car and have owned a bmw, audi, merc and vw! its not amazingly fast but i do have fun racing bigger engine cars and testing the driver cos these things can move and fiestas have one of the best chasis i have seen or driven. just sticks to the road. again, its only 140bhp but remember thats a 1.0ltr engine, it has more break per litre than a bugatti! incredible! and pushing it it def quicker than 9secs to 60. i have also done an average of around 45mpg over 8k driving like i was 20 again.

does anyone know anywhere that does leasing for high mileage? I currently do between 20-25k a year traveling to uni and none of these leases are anywhere near the mileage I need. I'd quite like a nicer car since I spend too much time driving.

You have to remember that engine sizes aren't the key stat anymore. Ford's 1.0 ecoboost is award winning for power output. test drive one before dismissing based on the 1.0 number.

I had a 735i BMW years ago with a similar 0-60

I've driven this and it is so gutless. You need to give it some beans to get anywhere and when you do you won't get anything like the milage they state in the figures. A total swizz. Love fords usually but this engine is not going to save the polar bears.

Manufacturers have developed engines now to be much more efficient , generally speaking they have improved on performance and economy.

I wonder how many diesels were around when your 735i was new that could achieve 60+ mpg , whilst soaring to 62 mph from standstill in under 5 seconds ?

The Ford 1.0 ecoboost , and I am not knocking them btw , is a highly tuned engine with only approx. 20% gain to be had from remapping the Ecu. Thus suggesting it is already close to its maximum capabilities in terms of power.
This would suggest why the above review makes sense , it is expected that it must work harder being such a small engine.
I , personally would have loved this soon after passing my test , however , nowadays I much prefer a quieter (almost silent) , more refined ride with power to boot. Such are the cars these days , there a plenty that fit the bill for me , sadly not at this price point though , lol

Voted HOT btw , it appears to be great value for money

I would have expected a better mpg than that , my 3.0 diesel gets 35.8 mpg average and most of my driving is town with around 20% motorway driving and I definitely don't drive it like a nun.

Hood?

Its a bonnet in these parts, Yankee boy!

An hour to do 12 miles in a golf R ? I'd get that thing looked at , do you know when he last serviced it ? Lol
