Is this car just as fun as the MX5?

It’s now august 2021, I took delivery of my 5 door (only Australian option) 1 month ago, and you’re a German guy doing a car review in English, and out of 20 odd online reviews I’ve watched, yours was clearly the most comprehensive. Well done, thanks.

It's a good thing Fiesta size is diminutive so 3-cyl. ( 200hp! ) still appropriate I think but in Focus ( 1.0 3-cyl is offered and same cylinder deactivation like Fiesta! ) could be a bit testing. Mature and classier looks but it's the interior that has improved a lot from previous a car. ( 15:18 ) Car sure is punchy and such a very capable/stable hot hatch. Very impressive driving there Thomas! Fun factor in that Fiesta ST is tops, probably better than Polo GTI. Really entertaining drive and review there Thomas.

Excellent review. Its good to see this latest Fiesta ST is still keeping the best elements of the previous versions. Yes, shame about the fuel consumption but that is not the reason you buy this car. Just go for an eco car & thats it if you care so much about keeping the MPG low. A great place chosen to test the handling & acceleration at the same time. Cheers.

Great review, but there are 2 things I want to mention: 1. You weren‘t using the launch control, but simply dropping the clutch at redline. The LC holds the RPM around 3k and then you take off. 2. Fuel consumption: Of course, high consumption is possible when the car is driven accordingly, but under normal conditions I‘d say it tops off at 8l/100km (you can also check the usual consumption comparison websites as reference, if you like)

Why do you need view of "B" & "C" pillar, then cant overtake you, all you need is door handle then cover the blind spot, just a thought. Great review, really liked it, try door mirror a little lower as well helps with reversing

you failed to enable the launch control. but other than that, great review

I quite like that sound. Funnily enough, it reminds me of Ferrari flat 12 engine sound. Surely, I like cabin sound more than every VW group hot hatches.

I love the Fiesta ST

I’ve had mine for 2 days now, I’ve already put 300 miles on it. I came up from the mk6, so it’s a massive improvement of course. I have noticed discomfort in the lumber of my back (I’m about 5ft 7”) and after driving for 2 hours I had a slight numb feeling to my right leg. Performance is just incredible though and the interior is great. I highly recommend

Ford has really stepped up it's game. Although the car is at the price of Polo GTI, it can be optioned with heated wheel, heated front window, LSD and even a Lunch Control for a manual, all of which - sadly the Polo lacks.

The brakes are actually quite weak ... I tuned my 2017 FiST to stage 2 with a torsen differential and it really puts a grin on my face every time I push it. It's simply ... grand! You can drive the car between 7l and 15l per 100km, depending on your right foot. Apart from the Caterham that I rented for one day, this is the most fun car that I've driven. AND it's quite cheap to own one!

Well done for picking up the poor CarPlay integration 👍 Keep up the great work

Vous allez pouvoir nous dire si ce moteur est la révélation de cette année et arrivera à avoir autant de titres et de récompenses que son aîné le 1.0 Ecoboost...

Really wish Ford USA brings this Fiesta ST to the American market - I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

That consumption seems quite high, I am getting 8.5-9l/100km from my 3.0 twin turbo. In city its around 15l. Car is also 11 years old. With winter tires I am getting 7.5l/100km.

This car is a beast

Don't worry about a 3 cylinder 1.5 litre engine putting out 200 hp. That is only the equivalent of a 4 cylinder 2 litre at 266 hp. Given the Sierra RS Cosworth was putting out 220 hp in 1987 then I'm sure there is plenty of power headroom .

Thanks for the review - one of the most in-depth that I have seen so far on this car. As a Mk7 Fiesta ST owner, the most important question that I have is how the driving experience feels compared with the Mk7 ST?

Hi i really enjoyed your review and bought the st line fiesta after watching your review as well :) You drove both cars (140 ps and the 200 ps st) is there such a big performance boost difference? Because i am thinking of switching to the st. Thanks in advance

@autogefuehl

6 жыл бұрын

thanks! In Performance yes, that does make a noticeable difference. However if you wanna use it as everyday driving car I would stick with the ST-Line since those seats in the ST are really racetrack proof but not comfort-proof =)

In regards to Apple Car Play, you can simply press the voice button on the steering wheel and ask Siri where you want to go, it will then automatically go into Apple Maps and guide you on the big screen and with turn by turn voice commands, whilst playing your selected music like Spotify.. so it’s not exactly the end of the world if Fords satnav system can’t be used. And as I understand Waze should Aldo work now.

Very nice review as always but I think the numbers of fuel consumption are not very representative because this car has about 1500km full of racing!!So under normal conditions i think you can achieve easy a number of 8-9l/100km average!!!Also when you drive in comfort mode and the car works with 2 cylinders you can definitely achieve even better fuel consumption..!!!

Does the limited slip differential benefit MPG and lower tyre wear?

Generally seems great with the big question mark being over the engine. 8 litres per 100km if you are careful equates to around 35 mpg (UK gallons), city driving at 10 litres is 28mpg and hard driving at 12 litres is 23 mpg. That's really not that great for a small car, even allowing for the fact is a performance version. My 3 litre 6 cylinder BMW would match those figures fairly easily and it's got 340hp and will do 0-62mph (100kph) in 4.6 seconds. I appreciate it's a much more expensive car, but it puts it in perspective and backs up Thomas' theory (and mine) that down-sizing doesn't always pay off in real world driving. The cylinder deactivation in a performance car seems daft too. I do like it in 'Thomas Blue'(!) though and the video from La Sud de la France - trés belle. Great review Thomas!

Cannot agree to the fuel consumption, actually it’s very low for the power. I’ve had this car for 2 years now and averaging 7.3l/100km, mixed cycle and flooring it any chance I have.

Mini's also has a 3 cylinder it built with similar hp but it was a protype I hear

Consumption can be very good, don't press the sport or race button :)
