Having read enough and more of fiesta 1.6 performance reports like 'hoot to drive' and stuff like that, I'm now in an insane mood that I probably will not find myself in later (to go and buy this car that is ,I'm convincing myself to wait for an SX4).
But this opportunity may be the best to pass by for some time(after which all prices eventually drop) so please write in and let me know the top speeds you could achieve safely (speedometer readings are fine and I don't need moto journo style replies with authentic readings with speed-testing gear and all that) without raising your hair in your Fiesta 1.6 (any model including the S).
This is the ONE thing that I did not find in the reviews and the reports extensively available on the 1.6S.
Hoping for some help from the experienced Fiesta owners here.And while you are at it , would be really grateful to hear your highway mileage reports too.The city driving is something all of us can't really help!
Thanks folks in advance!
Cheers,

hi,
if you have not owned this car so far, please visit any GM showroom and see the new AVEO 1.6 or 1.4 Limited edition. You will see the difference. Don't worry, GM have started doing well in India and Looking confident after record sale of SPARK and with launch of new CRUZE. they are about to introduce BEAT. The AVEO has more space than fiesta(you can not accomodate 3 people in the rear in fiesta easily), better ground clearance, steering (new), Gear (new), integrated music system (new). 1.6 has ABS with airbags and the interier is a class. Driving is very smooth and car is very punchy. I found the body of AVEO tougher than other Sedan.
