The Fiesta would have escaped anyway. It has a manual handbrake and isn’t afraid to use it. This time in the morning, these roads, I could leave the others for dust. I do for a couple of minutes, in fact, just glance over a hedgerow, open up the torque, tip it into a couple of corners in the carefree way you can when your car is this narrow, friendly and manoeuvrable, and the following headlights seemingly reverse away.
I know the noise is partly piped in, but I just don’t care – this creates a better soundtrack and delivers more volume into the cabin than, well, everything bar the BMW and Ferrari. Now this is going to sound bonkers, but common traits run through both the Pista and Fiesta. Both are happy, vibrant cars. Both have dazzling turbocharged engines – it’s the stand-out feature in each. Both are also over-sharpened, over-saturated – almost caricatures.
In the Fiesta this manifests itself as an eagerness that’s there from the first turn of the key. Even at 6am on dark roads, it goads you, urging misbehaviour – it’s why I accelerated away from the others, why I’m now bounding across a lightening landscape, rowing easily through the gears, listening to the exhaust parp, feeling how eager the rear end is to get involved in the cornering process.
There’s not much natural steering feel, but there is a terrific amount of natural balance. You don’t have to put much effort – or speed – in to get a lot of enjoyment out. But when I do drive harder, which is hard to resist as our column climbs the Col de la Croix-Morand, I can feel the diff start to tug the nose into corners, the mechanical components adding crispness, filling holes in the steering feedback.
It’s perhaps the best attuned car to this environment, its behaviour as bright and fresh as this morning – a toothpasty zing of energy and enthusiasm.
Et "victoire morale". Bonne lecture.

). Mais je ne pense pas que ce soit agréable par ces températures, mais concrètement ça peut se trouver dans la vie d'une bagnole de ce type. Donc quand une auto est censée être conçue pour le circuit comme la Trophy R, je trouve que c'est un peu ballot quand même.
