A special edition 2.0-litre Ford Fiesta ST, the ST 500, is now out and priced from £15,000.

The ST 500's features include 17-inch, 11-spoke black alloy wheels, red brake callipers, a carbon-fibre pattern interior trim with ebony leather heated seats and a Sony audio system.

Meanwhile, SEAT's new five-door Ibiza, on sale in Britain from July 16, will cost from £8,995 for the 1.2S, to £11,295 for the 1.6 Sport.

They are cheaper and better equipped than the outgoing range - SEAT has a nice mix of prices for a lot of car.
