@LondonFocusRS I have been wanting the current mark Fiesta 1.6 Zetec S for a while however now I'm questioning it's performance.

I recently saw the last mark 1.6 Fiesta Zetec S been hammered on a straight road I know it was been hammered as I was only marginly gaining ground on it.

Note I said ...

I'd rather not take either the Fiat 500 or Ka mark 2.

I'd rather take the Ka mark 1 better chassis, better handling, better power to weight ratio, the steering is balanced well

500 / mark2 Ka is lifeless and dull and simply does not handle as well as you cannot push them in corners for the fea...

@123doomdoom overrated with regards to this game or in general? The Amiga was released in 86 or 87 (I cannot remember which) it stood the test of time as was a well established 16bit system.

Indeed the Amiga was showing its age but it held its ground well. A lot of the top games were developed ...

sorry, IMO they are dull and lifeless drive.

The mark1 Ka (96-08) has one of the finest chassis in a small car and is a great fun drive.

Both are definately worth considering if you like a fun drive in corners and B roads.

They are also both a lot quicker than they are claimed to be.

It is a shame that the mark2 Ka is not a true replace...

And the ride is not quite as bouncy as it is in the Fiat's, but we're talking fractions. That crucial go-kart feeling you got from the last Ka is now gone. The new Ka is nowhere near as chuckable and all that wonderful steering and chassis fluidity has gone.

Note the last comment;...

Not only does the mark1 Ka have a better chassis resulting in better handling in corners, bends & B roads but it has a better power to weight ratio and it much quicker in a straight line, FACT.

Ka's gear ratios setup with much more torque in 2nd and 3rd

Quick acceleration for a stand still is ga...

Id take the Ka mark1 (96-08) it has a far better chassis and therefore drives and handles much better in corners and bends. The mark1 Ka is a great fun drive.

Ka mark 2 which is based on the 500 has improved chassis over the 500 however it does not delvier the same kind of drive as the mark1.

...

Nice video & valid commenets

Ford were cutting costs by basing it on the 500 but doing so it has destroyed the Ka character. The Ka mark 2 is certainly better than any entry level 500 but the 500 has a larger variety of engines and overall is better

The mark 1 Ka is superior to both the mark 2...

Best cars IMO = provide the best possible power to weight ratio & chassis for good handling in corners/bends

So I’d take Megane 250 over Focus RS

However I'd take any standard Focus model over any standard Megane.

I find Ford have produce better performing and handling standard cars to Renault...

Its odd that a standard Focus is miles better on performance, handling, value for money etc than a standard Megane BUT when its comes down to sports editions the Megane is better.

I have played many fps online over the years but it has to be said UT2k4 provides a pure adreneline kick, theres a buzz that words cannot describe, I guess its to down to its fast paced action.

@twicon I did unti I drove the new Ka, I was totally disappointed by it. Ford may have saved cash basing the new Ka on the Fiat but they have not done the Ka any favours. The old Ka mode is so much of a better drive and far superior handling due to its chassis. All we need is more torque/bh po...
