Buying a small hot hatch - what's best?
I have a Honda civic I want to change for a smaller car. I was considering the Ford Fiesta ST for the acceleration, but I have been told the ride is very stiff. Can you suggest an alternative with similar specification and a better ride?

The latest Ford Fiesta ST is fantastic. Just forget about the ride.
