A prefer the smooth but well weighted drive from a fiesta.

It seemed to lack the refinement that a fiesta has. Not a bad car I suppose but for 33,500 I’d want a bit more for my money.

I think I will drive a Polo GTI next to compare the two.
true a Ralliart Colt is a good car as a package....and yes true you should really be getting more out of it for the Price tag....the POLO gti is a wonderful car ive heard....best person would be to ask mitch....he has recently purchased one....
