Funny thing is is that all you dicks making fun of him have probably only got metros you gamer freaks HAHA 1.25 zetec fiesta are as quick as the 1.6zetec sport fiesta to about 70 so there not actually that slow and you can't just start abusing peoples videos for no reason at all leave the guy alone might be his first car I owned the faster 1.25 in west Sussex and even when it was standard it wasn't slow
@zetecherb Thanks for that dood. Glad you got my back. Truth be known, the video was a pure piss take, it obviously doesn't rival the honda civic type R video's, and astra VXR's out there. But the fiesta 1.25 surely is a spritely engine! And very reliable.
@zetecherb Haha... I'm going to have to go dig up my old digicam videos of overtakes in my first, wheezy 1-litre Polo and compare notes :-)
(I learned in a 1.25 Zetec and was very disappointed by the pulling power on dual carriageways etc, trucks challenged it for acceleration ... but then as it was an instructor's car, never properly opened it up... maybe it only comes alive past 3500rpm or something? VW would happily slog from 2000 or so :)
Hey Ragetobe my old sweetheart. Haven't heard from you for a while, how's the computer games? It's a hard life isn't it. Hope you feel a bit better now, i know these games can get you quite frustrated. Youtube is a great place to insult people, it must feel good :) Bless ya!
This guy is hilarious. The voice in the vid sounds like a chav townie getting off on stealing a car. The gps on the dash is worth more than the car. And as for overtake, with a car that barely goes 60 he is gonna cause a crash because he has no idea how to drive. No doubt he will post some smart alec remark, but quite honestly, whatever it is, it's negated by his sheer lack of ability as a driver. How do you not see this is retarded?
I would hardly call that a fast dangeous overtake! that was just a vehicle pass by a fluke gap in the oncoming traffic! They should have called the 1.25 the Ford Siesta!
who bragged about it being a fast dangerous overtake? (Dangerous btw) Why exactly should they have called it a Siesta? Because it sleeps? Thats very good, well done.
Well actually, Its dubbed the Siesta because its so slow you can fall asleep. I won't give you any bonus points for overtaking a Micra, they actually have a hamster running in a wheel if you lift the bonnet! the 16V micras use Gerbils, they are a bit nippier than hamsters.
True, Ford Siesta 1.25's aren't powerful enough to do fast & dangerous things. zzzzZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz - the passenger has fallen asleep dreaming of the car finally reaching 60 -> the passenger wakes up 2 hours later, the car still hasn't hit 60 yet.
I put the old standard 3 spoke fiesta ghia alloys on the 1.25 and they looked pretty good. did the 17" make it look lowered? i spose the acceleration loss is coz they're so much bigger, you'd need loads more torque. looks vs performance.. witch is better?! :)
good car the 1.25, had mine remaped with increased fueling (no chavvy mods)went like a shot off the line, 0-60 down to about 10 seonds, okish top end - 120mph vmax. great first car - beats 1.2 corsa and 1.4 saxos no probs. better chassi than a corsa too.
Sure, a flat spot is where the acceleration sort of hesitates. Usually only when you're accelerating firmly. I've got a 1.6 zetec-s now and I don't really take it past 5,000rpm any more, i'm quite mechanically sympathetic. But sometimes i put the power on ;)
a flat spot is a weakness in a normally aspirated engine (non-turbo) that shows up as a momentary loss of power whilst accelerating. This is caused by the engine pistons not being asble to mix the correct amount of fuel with the right amount of air to burn effectively in the piston chamber at the right time. Thus the pistons are not forced down with the required force and lose power. the problem gets worse with incorrect air filters, wrong fuel, poor spark plugs and poor driving technique.
Well judged mate! Brave though ... i haven't ovetaken anything in my fezza 1.25 at more than 30mph. Still trying to get used to just 75bhp! Btw, do u lose some torque above 5500rpm? (accelerate hard in 1st) I'm wondering whether it's a lack of vtec (coming from civic esi) or whether my fuel filters clogged.
Thanks mate! those 1.25 fezzas are really good engines. I've got the 1.6 version now with 100bhp. I know what you mean about the torque loss, the fezzas have a flat spot towards 5000rpm. I rarely rev that high, but the fezza in the vid had a flat spot and so does the 1.6
What a releif to see a normal person responding! Theres always a few that think everyone who drives slower than themselves are cretins, and everyone who drives faster are "dicks"
Lol, can he explain why DICKS is appt? An advanced driver, an open 60mph road and a slow moving vehicle. And mr edwardmartin musters up all his genuis to provide his lamen opinion! lol Everyone hates everyone on youtube!

Wow cool that sounds pretty impressive for a 1.25! 0-60 is the same as my 1.6 ZS. I'm even thinking of going back to a 1.25 mk6

can i ask what a flat spot is? :) my 1.25 sometimes hits max revs at like 4000 and other times it goes up to 5,500 before it limits.
