FORD'S Fiesta sports flagship - the 102bhp 1.6-litre Zetec-S - will cost £11,350 on-the-road when it goes on sale next month.

And from March, the Fiesta gains a direct injection turbodiesel engine, at no increase in price over the existing model. The new 75PS engine will be available on Encore, Finesse and LX models at £8,850, £9,350 and £10,850 respectively.
