Trunk space does suck... but sounds like you are upset it’s small because you added a sub. Maybe consider removing it lol.

Me either, I can’t believe he doesn’t have a short shift kit, I have no problem banging off my gears, love my ST.

Ceramic coat your wheels - brake dust will come off with water from a hose!

Just bought a limo. Although it is really nice, it feels heavy, especially when cornering. The ride quality sucks. I mean, it's ok, but you can't really feel much feedback from the suspension... it's just so mushy you barely feel like you are moving. The trunk is way too big, I wish they had made that smaller. Put a ten inch subwoofer in there and it looks so tiny. The car itself is way too long. The windows are tinted really dark and it is hard to see into. The most annoying thing is to shift into D I have to row through the gears, from P, into R, to N, then into D, when I just want to go forward. D should be first, then P, then R, with N last. I never go anywhere in Nth gear. Besides these issues, it's a great car!

Loved this car! It’s sold now but it was amazing.

You want a car with Recaro Seats, buy the used car so equipped. 5th gear usually near 6th. Small cars tend not to have large boots even before you install a subwoofer. Buy a Focus ST or better still a VW Golf GTI. But be sure buy with the options you seek. 👍

I love the fiesta st my least favorite thing is like you said ride comfort. I think there's plenty of space in the car the one I ride in had the recaro seats very nice and I don't think the brakes are that aggressive. Never noticed 5th gear and I'm pretty short. I guess I must lean forward a bit to shift not sure but that never bothered me. That bumpy ride tho. Great car.

Reason I didn’t get the focus was because I had to reach for the shifter, it’s even further than in the fiesta

I never had a problem in my FoST shifting. Especially after I put in a short shifter.

if it's bouncy, it's definitely oversprung, ironically i think adjustable coilovers could improve the ride just with more dampening to make the springs chill out also the brake pads wear even faster due to """torque vectoring""" so on top of an aggressive compound they're constantly clamping down on the front discs through turns. i still want one tho

I own a 2016 Fiesta St. 80600 km on the clock now. In South Africa we only have the 2 door version Fiesta ST and we drive on the left lane (side) of the road! So in my vehicle I use my left hand to change gears and reverse 5 th gear is "closer" to me! Greetings from Pretoria South Africa 3 November 2020.

Super late comment but is your 1-2 shift jerky? Can’t seem to get it smooth while accelerating from a stop light

Hi Chucky here, At Mariot, parking cars, always telling the guys, "Fiestas always got dirty front wheel They thought I was crazy💔. ☺️ Can't wait to show this clip to them

You didn't mention the blackhole at the hand brake...

The thing about the suspension i've noticed in a couple different fords. I think it's just how they do their suspension. I've seen what you're talking about in a ford escape, and a ford focus before. Very stiff, and bumpy.

Mine came without the recaros but even worse cause it's the 2014 model. So no back up camera or newer sync either. The 5th gear issue is actually biggest pet peeve. But this is probably the most accurate complaints to my own that I've seen. Still love the car though.

I got about 45,000 out of the first set of brakes with my driving. I can't say that any of my complaints on the Fiesta ST match yours except the brake dust. But I have grey wheels. I bought mine with the Recaros. I like them but rarely do my passengers. My complaints would be the blend door actuator failures. Had one replaced before warranty ran out and then it broke again and I haven't bothered to replace it because it will just break again anyway. Sync 3 system is slow and unresponsive. It's probably defective because it was one of the first Sync 3 systems, but the dealership looked at it and they didn't see the problem so I just gave up. If you have the door open and push the start button, for the next couple of weeks it will ding at you when you open the door.

I never knew about these basic seats. In Canada, we only have the Recaro option. They definitely don't look as nice/comfortable.

If I remember correctly it was a stock exhaust with just a muffler delete.

I've owned this car brand new since 2016 now its just cumbersome to drive i.e. if u feel lazy or tired the upshifts or downshifts are just annoying ride quality crap too and you get a nice amount of torque but dies of very quickly, like a diesel.

lol first thing I noticed testdriving my fiesta a few days ago was fifth gear was so far away.

The seats do go flat what you mean take off head rest, pull your front seats foward and then boom

this was actually a really good video pal

Brake dust depends on the quality of the pads , cheap pads make more dust and wear more easily ...

What wheels are those!!

Definitely hate cleaning my wheels on a weekly basis with the pads that were on the FiST. Even after installing new ones I still get the annoying low speed brake squeak, but at least the brake dust is minimal now.

Ummm bro...have you ever heard of correct posture? Try it you'll hit 5th every time...

You're a slim guy. I'm not fat but fairly muscular with broad shoulders. I love the stock seats even for long trips. I can't even fit into the Recaros. The ride is terrible. I have driven fully prepared racecars, and the suspension is about at the same level of firmness, which makes it a great track day car even in stock condition. Same for the firm brakes.

Yeah had that trouble in 5th gear...Im 5' 11...tall...had too reach ...bump....move to Right then in....felt very Tuff...Km

You added a pointless subwoofer on a supposed sporty car and then complain about the trunk size...that's so dumb. that's like complaining about missing an arm bc you decided to cut it off yourself.

Use ceramic pads, problem fixed, get better tires.

trust me, the Recaro seats are not much better. after sitting in Los Angeles traffic, i always get out with back pain haha

The first FiST I drove had the Recaros. I preferred the stock seats. If you want to race the car or autocross, etc., the Recaros are what you want. If it's your DD, the stock seats are better than the base Fiesta, and still let you manspread on longer trips. They're also a little lower and more adjustable.

Oh fuck mine get super dusty. Can’t wait to have them powdercoated black.

About the only agree I got with you is the brake dust . But I got the ebony ones so not that big of an issue . And busting through brake pads ina year ? I guess you are driving it like you stole it 24/7. But at the end you do say you are nitpicking which you sure as shit where . Bang for the buck on this thing is incredible.

You have a very low tolerance of pain, I have a 14 ST with the stock seats, I just put 1,496 mile trip to Oregon in August, I’ve been there 4 times and have done Tahoe 6 times, these are the most comfortable seat I have ever sat in, I’m 5”9’ & 180, I have 94,000 miles on the car and I’m on my 6th set of tires that’s how hard I drive it, and I’m 73 years young. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺

The last complaint is just situational.

So what I’m hearing is: 5 things I hate about race car I bought. It’s a street legal race car. Bumpy ride? Sport tuned suspension, brake dust? Performance brakes, doesn’t have Recaro’s? Well those “recaro’s” aren’t real anyway. Real Recaro’s don’t recline and don’t have adjustable bolsters. I don’t have problems with my 5th gear and I’m 5’11”. No trunk space? Why’d you buy a fiesta? And the seats fold down. In conclusion the video should be called: I wanted a focus RS but bought a Fiesta ST and now I’m sad.

For the money it's brilliant a future classic

Should got a focus

I'm getting 2014 one in 3 days. With nice Recaros for sure (I live in Europe). Can't wait to drive this little b!tch. It's also tuned to 215hp.

Ride. Yeah it's bad with 17 inch rims. The solution is 16 inch rims with 50 series tires. I know, you think that will screw up the handling. It won't, many Autocrossers run 16 inch rims because the wheels can be lighter and they improve the handling. Seats. You think that a 3 hour drive is a long trip. What a baby, I'll do 700 miles with nothing but a stop for gas and a quick pee and arrive feeling nice and fresh and I'm 69 years old. The throw to 5th is too long. I'm 5'10" and it's not an issue for me at all. As for trunk space, all I care about is if my competition shotguns will fit and they do, all 4 of them. 10 inch woofer, that's just a stupid way to wreck the balance of a moderately decent sound system.

He buys a sports car hoping for no hard ride ? Hates the seats I drive my st every day and I’m comfy I think your just too skinny And don’t buy white wheels expecting them to stay white and yes the brakes do wear quick but that’s all brakes on any sports car
