They do make 1.4 Zetec's, that's the Zetec model. Zetec S is only 1.6.
Surely that would be millions to insure for a new driver, if you want nippy then it would cost more on insurance. You can go the sensible route and get a 12 volt, or have to pay through the nose and get a Zetec S. It depends what he wants to pay.

my first car was a 1.4 sport and was £600 on my dads insurance, for my renewal it was £600 on my own so it wasnt that bad. although if he has 2.5k i would buy an N reg sport lol

Zetec 'S' is 1.6, all the other models are zetecs. The ZS is group 8 still so doable.

DONT get a saxo, 2 reasons, theyre crap and he will get anal raped for insurance.
I think a nice corsa 1.4 16v sport if he can afford the insurance on that.
Or maybe a 106 quicksilver.... not much more reliable to a saxo though!

I have this argument daily with someone from work. He has a 1.25 "ZETEC"; I sometimes use my missus' car to get to work which is a 1.6 "Zetec S" The "S" is really more to do with the styling pack that the 1.6 engine Zetec gets; the 1.25 doesn't get the same styling pack

I'd rather have the T Sport myself! Girlfriend has one, and it's a fucking cracking little car! But for that kind of price, you'll have to look hard for a good one. We got lucky for one with 46k for £3,400!

1.25 Zetec.
1.4 Zetec.
1.6 Zetec S.
The Zetec models began in 1997, the Zetec S wasn't released until the facelift/MK5 Fiesta.
All the engines have 'Zetec S' on the engine cover though iirc.
I'd avoid tbh, they have a tendency to break, engine wise.

1.3 Endura engines found in Fiestas (and KA's) will be more reliable imho. 8v too, cheaper insurance etc.
