Default Zetec v Zetec S

I have noticed that in the UK they sell a Fiesta Zetec and a Zetec S

The Zetec S has a closer ratio gearbox, bigger wheels, kit and better seats.

So did we just get the normal Zetec version or did we get the Zetec S running gear....both have same engine just different box

And why don't we get the ST or the turbo diesel engine...I would have gotten a turbo 1.6 or at least considered it.

You get the standard Zetec model

Zetec S adds:
16” sports alloy wheels
Sports fog lights
Lowered and stiffened sports suspension
Short-shift, close-ratio gearbox
Sports gear knob with satin silver gaiter ring
Sports ‘aero’ kit including high-intake front grille and rear spoiler
Sports front seats
CFC-free air conditioning with air recirculation

And as for choice of models, I suppose they cant really justify it for what is a relatively small market.

Speaking of turbo diesels, I hope they bring they start bringing the new turbo diesels here, as I'd buy one. Puegeot sell half their cars as turbo diesels in Oz, so I don't think it's unviable. Similar horsepower for twice the torque in the Focus, and at only 2 grand - yes please!

Turbo diesel makes sense with rising fuel costs. And it makes good power and torque these days and they are not noisey like they use to be.

I assume it will happen over time as fuel costs continue to rise.

I thought we only had the basic Zetec model.
