Seriously WTF is up with ford drivers, mainly fezza's in regards to engines, we just go its a 1.4 8v or 16v etc, we don't go "oh yea i have a L polo fitted with a CL engine."

Drives me nuts when they are like; its got a zetec engine... seriously wtf thats not an engine. As what the zetec has could be a 1.25 or 1.4 which is what the base model called style could have... just because it says zetec doesn't make it special (its a package not a remap!). Like i see a t**t going yea i got a mondeo fitted with a zetec engine

That just says that its the coined name for the engine, but nowadays its more of a trim level in the car. Which means any car level from style, to zetec etc in the fiesta range has the zetec-se engines as its just a nickname to the engine. Making it not exclusive as ford drivers make it sound in context.
