It's the biggest POS engine that I ever drove. There are other things as well, but the biggest is the engine. This thing isn't made for stop/go N3 traffic.

So, it's down on power compared to an ST, sure, but I don't understand what's wrong with it in slow bumper to bumper traffic, unless you wring it's neck and stand on the brakes each time, but then surely most cars will feel crappy?

Well ,you did downgrade from a Fiesta ST, can't blame you for complaining about the engine

I am not comparing it to the power I had with the ST. But, don't take my word for it. Buy one for yourself and maybe then you will see what I am on about.

I have owned various cars in my life and have driven with many more. The power delivery in my brothers' 2006 Ford ka, is way better than my car.

Planning to drive it for as long as possible, no money to spend on cars in this tough economic times.

My humble apologies.
You bliksem, you made me surf through from the start!
I probably missed it because it was so short and sweet and there was no stick and paste.;)
