Not a Zetec trim, Zetec has alloys and body coloured mirrors. These are all LX models. For some reason the LX version always comes back as LX Zetec on check sites. |

Was the 1.25 engine called Zetec?? So not a trim name at this point?? |

Yep, this is the Zetec-SE engine. Zetec as a trim started when the Focus came out so about 12 months before this facelift. Wiki has an interesting version of this, and says that on the Fiesta the Zetec replaced Si in 1998 and they briefly renamed the LX trim Zetec LX but reversed this within a few months. This car is obviously more recent, and it doesn't make much sense when LX was always slightly below Zetec and they didn't do that on the Focus, |

I think I can untangle this a bit from Glass's entries. Wiki is correct but looks bizarre. Ford did 2 different things with the name Zetec on Fiestas. The Fiesta Zetec was the April 98 replacement for the Si (which was the successor to XR2i, Oct 95 to April 98) so continued the sporty theme with a good spec but without being a boyracer - came as 1.25 (3/5 door) and 1.4 (3 door only), just like the Si. That was a separate strand to what they did with the LX, which bumbled along with the old tech 1-3 Endura engine from Oct 95 until being dropped in Aug 97. Meanwhile, the 1.25 LX popped up in Jan 97, so there was a choice for a few months between LXs with 1.25 and 1.3, with Zetec LX used to identify that it was a 1.25 LX. When the 1.3 vanished, the need to identify the engine vanished so it dies down to just LX. Throughout this the LX trim was pretty well constant. So Zetec name was used for 2 parallel naming systems - one for a specific trim level identifier, and the other as an engine identifier. My guess is that this confusion was created by the same anonymous twaddleheaded Ford manager who early in his career ballsed up the Mustang VIN numbers and then designed the Pinto petrol tank. Perhaps Detroit then booted him into exile in Europe where his capacity to create mayhem was more limited .... |
