I got the pinto for nothing, so spending something on it is not a problem and at the end of the day, i will know that it should not have any faults, a zetec may have more power, but power is not every thing . As for reliability, my neighbour would disagree, and i'm not to worried about economy after some of the sports bikes i have riden.
