Ford Fiesta ST review | There is no better new hot hatch for the money!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#Fiesta #FORD #FiestaST
I'll never tire of driving hot hatches. Of all the things I think we'll miss when petrol cars cease forever, they will be one of the cars that us car fans will miss the most.
The ST is is powered by Ford’s all-new 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine - the first three-cylinder
engine ever to power a Ford Performance model - delivering 200 PS and 290 Nm of torque for 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 232 km/h (144 mph).
The third-generation Fiesta ST is the first to be offered with an optional Quaife LSD, helping to optimise front-end traction for enhanced cornering ability - in particular delivering more grip on the exit of corners and in my opinion, this coupled with the other bits you get on the performance pack makes it well worth the extra cost - it still turns out as a relatively cheap way to buy new car thrills.

    Great review, great car! Got myself a 2 year old one on Saturday, and in just 6 days I've done over 1000 miles... Suffice to say, I'm loving every second of it! It's my first 'proper' car and it's a completely new driving experience. Truly amazing how much you get for the money, especially when it's second hand. Mine has five doors, Ford Performance Blue paintwork, B&O sound system, full LED headlights (sunroof too!) and everything else, all for under £20k! Yes an Audi or Golf is nice, but you'll never beat this car on value :)

    Got mine mid-August. I'm a biker and not really excited by cars but sometimes wanna be able to take my pedal bike places further than I can be bothered to cycle, or go walking in the countryside without having to be burdened by motorcycle gear and worrying whether the bike will still be where I left it when I get back. Or go on holiday elsewhere in the UK with clothes/shoes for unpredictable British weather and a pedal bike and perhaps inflatable kayak. Chose the ST because I didn't want to be bored numb and sure enough, now I genuinely enjoy driving. It'll never touch riding a bike, but it's undeniably fun.

    Great review Mark. Car looks like a hoot to drive. I bought a MK7 ST new in 2016 and kept it for nearly 3 years. Best fun I ever had in a car. In the end the 3 door body shape just wasn't practical so I traded it for a diesel Golf (albeit a GTD) as I was getting married and needed something a bit more "grown up" and practical. I kept that for just a year and then traded up for a Golf R which I have and will have for a long time. I had inquired with my local dealer about the MK8 ST in 2018 a few times and they just didn't seem interested, pity as I could have bought and lived with the 5 door shape much more easily. I think anyone that buys one won't be disappointed.

I’m 72 years young and have had many Cars & Motorcycles in my life, and by far this the most fun I’ve ever had driving, it’s a keeper, this will be my last Car. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺

And yes, the Mustang is still around. So I’m envious of you getting to drive the new generation, because we’ll never see them here, alas. I’ll be keeping mine for the long haul.

    Bought a 68 plate ST 2 last week. It's a stunning little car. I fully agree on terms of pure fun factor it's a gem👍 I know some would ask why I went ST 2 instead of ST 3? I know I've missed out on a few gadgets but the ST 2 was roughly £1200-£1500 cheaper than at most Ford dealerships I visited. I bought the ST 2 and I've had the Revo stage one software installed (almost makes it into a new car for just over £550 with SPS switch). I am booked in to get a Miltek valved exhaust fitted in 9 days. So I am basically getting the exhaust and brilliant software upgrade for that extra £1500 I'd have spent on an ST3. I know i it effects warranty and not everyone's taste. The software upgrade is stunning and I've seen/heard nothing but good things about the Miltek exhaust system (although not sure neighbours will like it😂).

Let's all do our part - call or write Ford US Customer Relationship Center and tell them what their American customers want. If we all contact them, maybe they'll realize it's a profitable business decision to bring the new Fiesta ST 6 spd manual transmission to the US/North American market. Wouldn't hurt to ask for the Focus ST and/or the Puma ST 6 speed manual as well! Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center P.O. Box 6248 Dearborn, MI 48126 Ford U.S. Phone: 1-800-392-3673

    These can be very economical indeed for a 200Hp petrol engine. Did a 700 km road trip in mine in a bad weather which forced me to drive very gently and averaged a calculated 5,64L/100km. Trip computer said 5,3L/100km. But rarely do you drive these things gently :D. I still do sometimes wonder if I picked the right color for my car since I bought a black one instead of that Silver Fox one.

    I was wondering when you going to do this one. It was one of my options to upgrade to from Seat Ibiza cupra 171. Unfortunately my local Ford dealer was not interested in selling me one. A salesman did not even knew there is actual ST fiesta, not just ST-line... They had issue with finding performance pack too, as I asked for it when I tried to spec it. They could not find that option and could not tell me if it comes as standard on irish cars. Led lights is an extra 1k eu too. So its not really 29k car, because with delivery charges, led lights, performance packs ( it was 1.5k eu before in configurator) it becomes 33k ish car. Unfortunately the alternative in this segment is only Polo gti, which is 35k paddy spec and with manual Aircon from 99 caddy van...

    Frustrating to hear that, nothing worse when you want to give someone your money. What a car! Fair points on the prices, suppose it's hard not to spec those bits. A two year old Golf R would probably be close in price but for new, this is just great.

    @@NobbyOnCars That was my worst dealer experience so far. They never bothered to come back to me with price, trade in value and performance pack details. And that was way before covid lockdown. For hot hatch and a modern car, the performance pack and led lights should be standard. ( *cough* its standard on 24k ibiza cupra ). And I agree with you that those options are a must. Unfortunately when you spec those and 1k eu paint, affordable hot hatch becomes very expensive. And again, I agree, right now, its the best new option you can get, then again, no competition in this segment helps it. No more clio RS, Ibiza cupra, 208 gti, Fabia vrs etc. 34k eu can buy you a demo i30N. Fords pcp apr is very high too, so won't help it. Now, the car it self is very very cool, I agree, I love compact hot hatches, unfortunately we are hit with Irish performance car tax here, which makes it hard to justify.

    I like these but two things put me off. The fake engine sound in the car (which sounds more I6 than I3 engine) and the big one... The Oil pump on all but the earliest version of the 1.5 3 cylinder is driven by a belt in oil, which is a disaster waiting to happen as the car gets older. Ford went to the effort of fitting a proper chain for the timing gear unlike on the 1.0 Ecoboost but then they let themselves down with that silly bit of engineering. The timing chain has to be removed to replace it...
