I totally agree with you, as a fellow st owner, these things are annoying. The freezing of the screen had not happened to me personally but what has happened is that the screen somtimes just does not turn on. The squeaking by the seatbelt latch happens with me, i just places a black rag there, seem to stop it. Beware with age the seat will also start to squeak.

At least it’s not just me then with the squeaky seat belt. 😂

I personally like the fiesta for its quiet exhaust since nobody likes a loud fiesta and lets the noise of the turbo do the talking anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️

As a fellow St owner, its all the rattling from the door cards ,does my head in lol.

Yeah that is super annoying

Have you tried applying a little bit of oil to the seatbelt fitting? Just a thought.

TA 😂means traffic announcements 😅the hole of doom is my only complaint with the fiesta 😅

ST-3 got a bigger screen, sat nav and parking sensors as standard, but the reversing camera was an option. The bigger screen is better obviously but it's still the same SYNC system just on a slightly larger screen. Exhaust will sort your sound issue but I can see you're already onto that. In terms of the general build quality and squeaks I don't think how stiff the suspension is and how bad the roads are will help with that, there's some roads where it feels like I'm going down a cobbled street. Really would have benefited from adaptive dampers but I guess at the price point it's understandable it didn't get them.

You should of got st3 Cut that strange wig thing you got going ..bad hair day 😂

Yo josh I’ve got some nice mods coming for my JCW like shifters and intercooler, your blog has inspired me to cause problems in the uk and thank you 😂 fiesta st looks bad bro 😎!!!

For the screen freeze you can fix it by pulling the fuse behind the glovebox 👍

I just wait it out and eventually it goes back. Thanks tho if it stays for ages I’ll try that.

what's with that hair style

You need the mountune stage 1 kit boost pipe air box upgrade and will make her sound nicer

That screen issue is still a problem in my 20 plate Focus

Add another earth strap to the battery and it will solve the electrical glitches. Happened on my focus st. Lost power steering a few times. More earth straps, no problem.

Where on the body do you join the 2nd earth? I recently sanded some paint off where the factory earth joins as it's only relying on a couple of spot welds and the bolt thread to connect... Bad design!!

MAN I wish we got the 3-door in the US. My least favorite thing about US spec Fiestas is too many doors 😪

Here in Australia everyone was crying about it being a 3 door and now the mk8 only came here as a 5 door.... 🤦 And they were even complaining about it only being available as a manual transmission WTF 😒 Australians are toasted... I'm from NZ lol

did you even test drive the car?

With the wind screen, it's big to allow more light in as it's a dark interior. You can add a sun strip like some to make it feel smaller. I have a miltek car back non res on my ST. it's made it sound so much nicer. Don't forget new it was 2k cheaper than the opposition and a few grand cheaper than the mini. So you'll always find it cheap in the build quality.

Incorrect you don’t just get a reverse camera if you get an ST-3. ST-200 come stock with them as for the ST-3 it all depends how it was spec from factory i have an st-3 and no reversing camera Ik many others too. Don’t get me wrong would have loved one.
