I did a run just yet with my ST150. It's a Mountune mp165, so not stock, but still less power (keep in mind that the st182 has overboost and also 200bhp in this.) So still 35bhp less, and non turbo so way less torque. I used dragy GPS so it's quite accurate. "And it crosses the line at 15.3 seconds!" 😲 I was happily surprised! Guess the mk7 and 8 will be quicker to 200kmh, but I don't get why people call the ST150 slow. Standard maybe, but an exhaust and air intake and it keeps up quite well with less power!

I have a 2009 Fiesta with a 1.25L 4 cylinder and i love it.

My 2019 fiesta st now has 13000 on the clock and I’ve had nothing but trouble! Started to to bog out at mid revs, thought it may have had a blockage in the fuel filter, turns out the injectors were faulty. Back to Ford it went, one day later it was returned, ran fine for a month then, “check engine light” came on and car went into limp mode. Went in for diagnostic and it needed some firm ware installed, got it back the same day ran fine for about a week. Then on my way to work at 6am in the pissing rain there was a massive chuff of white smoke from the exhaust and what sounded like a tub of nails rattling around under the bonnet, the turbo had completely disintegrated. Back to ford it went, 1 week later it was returned, new turbo new seals and a fresh cambelt as the old one had been damaged by the literal explosion of the turbo. So far to this day it has been fine and has behaved itself, but if I didn’t buy it brand new all of the work carried out would have cost me £1200 for the turbo refit, £300 for the cambelt, £150 for the seals, £50 for diagnostics check, £300 for the firm ware update, over £2k worth of repair on a car that is 20 months old! Nice of Ford to quote me for all the work to show me how much it would have cost me had I not brought the thing brand new, dick move. Turns out these 3 cyl lumps are total dog shit on the reliability stakes, its actually an old model of eco-tec that had a very bad longevity and not the latest and greatest 3 cyl turbo you get in the Focus! Cheeky fucks, oh and don’t forget to change your oil every 5k unless you like garage bills that is. This new Fiesta ST is not worth it at all. Avoid like the plague.

Sort of expected as the new ones got more power. The older shape still looks better.

Since, mine can sit neck & neck with the new shape mk8 ST (like one shown) after several tests. It will also give a Focus 2-0 ST a very good run for it's money, being just a cars length behind on a marked 1/4 mile straight. 👏 P.S. Obviously tested on private land, off the public roads 😜

What is it

Be good to see the even older ST involved too.

i like the guppy plane in background🤣🤣

If I remember correctly, then the new ST has the Overboost function as well and puts out 215hp with it. While the old one gets 200hp. In addition to that the new ST has launch control, wich gives it an advantage (ecept for the ST200, it gets 215hp as well, so that would be more interesting, and the gear ratio to the axle is a bit shorter than from the ST180). I drive the MK7 ST with 182hp but with the suspension of the ST200. Even on long rides it is comfy but sporty. I like the look of it a lot more than the new one. Especially the Recaro seats and the rear look and feel far better then the new one in my opinion. But I love the exhaust sound of the new ST, fold exhaust! I would honestly rather buy the old one a second time if it isn't too used. Because for this little bit of performance difference I still think that I choose the right car for me. The old one just looks so much more sporty and youthful. (And I like the WRC Versions in looks more as well, but thats besides the topic) I think it doesn't necessarliy matter if it's 3 or 4 Cylinders. Power is Power. It may have less cylinders and 100ccm less but every cylinder has 500ccm compared to 400ccm of the old. The Problem is rather, you get more power out of less. And the more power you take the higher the possibility that the engines shortens it's lifetime. But the new ST ist still quite good, but no car is without fault and it is everybodys own taste that is important. This is my opinion, I hope my english wasn't too bad.

“It squatted down off the line” Now I’m no expert but that makes me believe you were using the launch control feature and just not mentioning it...

You got to remember they could of added more torque and BHP to the old ST when it was in the manufacturing stage.If both of these cars had identical power the four cylinder would definitely win over the three cylinder.When mapping a car you would get more performance out of the four cylinder.

i find it completely the other way around. The old one looks like a deadborn duck baby only its mother could love. The new one looks way more sporty and agressive.

@@SomeoneLikeEveryoneElse Yeah... I had a strong opinion then lol. The funny thing is that I've bought one of the new fiestas. The look of them has grown on me and I now prefer the look of them to the older models.

4cylinder to 3 cylinder is always bad for reliability. Do a 100.000 mile test and the pistons are more likely to be oval in the 3 cylinder model. The 1.0 3 cylinder is also pretty likely to have a blown head gasket. Things that can be solved with better studs but the basic problem remains more likely to happen. Though a straight 6 is still the most perfect config.

@carwow The David Brent "More torque" was classic! 41 secs.

a simple £300 cp2 remap on the old st and it should easily keep up or be faster

but of course the new one should be a bit quicker standard and with a more modern interior so if you want a brand new car get the new one but I wouldn't change my mk7 for the new one knowing its safe to mod up to 300bhp or more. Also mk8 doesn't make the mk7 look outdated, I like the side window shape both similar.

That's what I have on mine. Not sure what the quarter mile would be, I got a 14.8 on public road timed with torque pro but I'm guessing it could get 14.5 on a decent surface with a good launch.

I mean it's faster and all (which makes sense because the engine is more powerful) but how does it proof that a 3 cylinder Engine is better than a 4 cyl?

They're trying to illustrate that the 3 cylinder Fiesta ST is still faster than the 4 Cylinder Fiesta ST. Even with one less cylinder and 100cc less displacement. In reality I think they're about the same speed. The new 3 cylinder might be more efficient especially coasting on the highway in 2 cylinder mode when the 3rd de-activates. Does it prove that all 3 cylinder cars (how many are there?) are better or worse than 4 cylinder ones? Nope.

Technically it isn't more powerful as the Mk7 has 197bhp on overboost for 15 seconds.

Peter Lustig - I totally agree. They havent looked at the bigger picture. I wouldnt be surprised if that 3 cylinder engine was only fit for the bin by 80k miles. I wouldnt touch it with a bargepole.

Will have to see if it ends up being a reliable engine, can’t imagine forcing out more power from a smaller engine with less cylinders is going to result in the same reliability?

Holy crap. This is one of the few times I'm genuinely shocked about a comparison. Wow.

The rear of the old Fiesta definitely looks better than the rear of the new one.

"This is progress". Just wait till 80k km, and 3 cyl engine with this amount of power gonna blow metal pieces everywhere

bs from uneducated people. Was never true and will never be.

I would love to see the new polo like this or the dsg polo vs manual polo

Love your videos you need to be on top gear 😊

Might be better stock but maybe not as tunable with 1 less cylinder as it may create a power ceiling

The displacement is very close. It's 1.6 vs 1.5. I doubt it's less tunable than the old engine.

@BensCoffeeRants

Time will tell, I don't think the old one was THAT tune-able either though. You can add on a bigger turbo or use auxiliary fuels for more power. But I don't think you'll have reliability for the long term.

Daniel Blaney I would imagine it is very less tunable than the old engine. It's certainly already running a bunch more boost. The old engine was fairly strong to 300bhp. I bet this one isn't.

Old fiesta st 💪👑

What's the new engine like for tuning compared to the old ST? That's why the previous model is so loved and hopefully the new model could be the same

Mat! Your films are really exciting, and the car choice is always good. Two problems in my opinion: 1/ try to invest in flying camera (a "drone")- the process of the race will be more thrustworthy, 2/ please paint crosswise line every 100 meters in the same goal. Looking above Your schoulder what car is the first is good... for the first three films...:> Please do it- Wowcar is a real brand now!:)
