Fiesta ST 3 Performance Edition Review - Episode 2 - "The Fast Ford" - www.hothatches.co.uk

In Episode 2 of The HotHathes.co.uk series - We join Chris for his review of the Ford Fiesta ST-3 Performance Edition (1 of 600).
A new presenter to CAR MAD DAD and a HUGE "fast ford" fan - Join Chris for his thoughts on this outright beauty of an example available now at www.hothatches.co.uk
Why consider this car over a Mini Cooper S / VW Polo GTI OR EVEN the Toyota Yaris GR???
Limited Slip Differential, launch control and adjustable coil over suspension... A heated steering wheel and B&O sound system - form a little hatchback - a recipe for success???

That whoosh sound is the standard airbox? can't hear mine thinking of getting a induction kit after mot make it do that wastegate sound .

[@CarMadDad]

Cheers fella- sounds like it can only improve it 👌

[@ncmlucio]

wonderful orange

[@CarMadDad]

Great in the flesh 👍

[@resnonverba137]

I much prefer it to the new 'Mean Green' if one wants a bright colour.

Is this car cheap to insure? Also does it have any safety features similar to the vw polo like lane assist, adaptive cruise control and pedestrian avoidance system where the car automatically brakes when a pedestrian steps on to the road without looking.

[@CarMadDad]

Depends on your personal circumstance chap - no doubt an autotrader search will answer all of your queries 👍

[@rscholey85]

I’m late to the party today 🤦‍♂️ it never came up on my notifications till now

[@CarMadDad]

We’re just glad you arrived dude 😂

[@jonathantaylor3750]

The performance edition has no extra performance over the standard ST3? It’s still same bph and off the line to 60?

[@HotHatchesUk]

That’s correct, it’s just colour, suspension, and wheels.

[@CarMadDad]
