put a turret on it. More suited to the battle field than a track

Post titled "Review on Fiesta", but the thread is about volvo's?

As for fiesta's, I like the newer ones, a mate of mine had a zetec-S, 2001 model that was nice, handled really well although a little under powered, and my dad has got a 52plate TDCi 1.4. That too is spot on, I havent thrown it around as that isnt what it is built for but for driveability it it really good, not a lot of power but loads of torque.

And thats how a decent car review should be written.... comparing the car to what its aimed at doing.

Volvo! Lol, all the impact protection bars etc & they weigh about 5 tonnes each! Never a track car! & nobody would take you seriously if you modified a Volvo!
My mate has an 850 its a 2.5 & I can safely say a 1.2 Nova would p*ss it!

LOL, i can back that - because i live round the corner.

It would need some serious mods before that shifts past a 1.2
