So this is my edited post. I was originally after a Ford Fiesta Zetec S but I bought the limit edition, better spec one as there are only 500 that were made in the UK. It's the Zetec S S1600 and a pic of her is below. I love her.

Sorry for the late reply, my first car was a black Fiesta Zetec S.

Cheap to run, good reliable and practical hatchback. Good handling, decent power and looks good. 1.6L gives you a good amount of pull. Interior is okay, nothing special but still decent.

Had it 11 months and upgraded to the Fiesta ST which is obviously better, but Fiestas are good cars, I miss mine.

Just take one for a test drive and see how it feels for you.

Going from my 1.4 Golf to a Zetec S isn't a downgrade mate haha.

I've got a Zetec S S1600 instead now, being delivered next week. 1 of 500 that were made, I couldn't afford insurance on an ST atm.

Good choice, You'll find it easy to drive as you said you drove a Fiesta doing lessons.
End of the day, Got to work with the money you have, would definitely get some modifications done if you plan on having it for long.

Hoping to pick it up between Monday and Wednesday when it arrives at my local Ford dealership. First couple of things I want to do are just minor visual modifications like white lights (HID) and white number plate lights, but haven't decided whether I'm wanting to do anything major yet!

The Zetec S looks pretty good bone stock anyways, besides your headlamp mods and maybe additional window tint i think you should leave it as it is, unless you plan to take it racing etc.
