Focus Ambiente vs Fiesta Zetec

[wakeboardandy]

Looking at getting a 2nd run around car for the family. We have a SY 2007 Territory that will do most of the heavy lifting.

I'm still deciding what 2nd car I want. Whether I want a Fiesta, Focus or even a Falcon. At the end of the day the car will mostly be used to either drive to a train station about 3 days a week and other 2 days to drive to the Melb CBD (60km round trip to CBD, 40km round trip to station).

Basically a Fiesta Zetec is very cheap for me to get via my company. For extra $30 a fortnight I can get a Focus Ambiente. Extra $53 on top of fiesta I can get the Focus Trend. I was looking at the sport but after seeing the price I can basically get a Falcon G6 ecolpi for the same price which is $86 a fortnight on top of the Fiesta. All these prices are inclusive of fuel and running costs, so I don't care about litres per 100km, etc.

I've driven a focus sport and thought it was a pretty nice drive.. so I assume the trend would drive the same. I assume the ambiente is a similar engine to the fiesta so not sure how that would go.

Just wondering if anyone has driven a fiesta zetec and compared that to the new focus ambiente.
