I live here, it's a wonderful place to enjoy the wild nature of Italy's centre during the whole year.... Doing the road full throttle all the way up is astonishing both by car and motorbike but remember: it's cyclists favorite place also! Roadies love to train going up and Mountain Bikers love to thrill going fast offroad here! Just be careful and respectful, we want to share this place. Ciao
sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Tristan Jaxen I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
RP20072003 Was genau ist daran doof? Ich finde es genial. Klingt wie ein kleiner M3. Dazu hochmodern, effizient und kompakt. Kann absolut nicht nachvollziehen, warum Leute 3 Zylinder für ein Problem halten.
Ne ich frage ja nur nach dem Grund. 2L 4 Zylinder ist halt standard. Bei einem Performance Auto spielt auch Gewicht eine Rolle. Und mehr Gewicht sparen als mit einem kompakt gebauten 1.5 L Alublock geht doch nicht ;)
P1TV Der Fiesta st 150 hat auch wenig gewicht mit nem 2l Duratec 4 Zylinder und der hat auch Performance und hört sich auch besser an (Muss dazu sagen das ich generell auf alte Autos stehen die neuen sind ....naja zu viel Elektornik zu viele Assistenten dir teilweise unnötig sind TEILWEISE )
Dik jaar trotse bezitter van een fiesta st ultimate performance blue 5 d. Wat een rijplezier wat een genot bedankt FORD voor het maken van zo een prachtige wagen. FORD TILL I DIE
Hey. I'm a Ford fan. All my cars were Ford. The landscape is magnificent but if you allow me I have a suggestion. If you want to see unique roads, I suggest TRANSFAGARASAN in Romania or TRANSALPINA, also in Romania. Even the makers of Top Gear were impressed. Thank you, Respectfully for your work
I love my Ford Fiesta. It’s a Ford brand that my parents remember. I’m in the market for a new car so hurry with the best Ford has to offer! I was at the Hyundai dealership with my brother, and you got some competition. Let’s go!!!
Sounds better than i expected. I was worried about lossing a cylinder. That whoosh sound though! Great job Ford. Now comes the hard part. Waiting more than a year to come to Australia. Can't complain much, atleast it's coming, unlike a few unlucky countries.
Thinking about getting the new ST when it comes out next month.... I currently own a MK6 ST with just 20,000 miles on the clock that’s up for sale very soon....
Great job Ford. Great cars, great roads, such a pity the image quality is not great at all. Sorry for this sincere feedback, but I guess we expect some up-to-date content from such a great company wich you are. Still love your cars, but please by all means do something about the image quality of otherwise great videos.
Ben Troxell Probably you didn't studied mechanics , 4 cilynders means you a have force every 90° but you can compensate this force with another cilynder. With 3 cilinders you have it every 120° but you can't compensate it. So in long terms in theory the 3 cylinder is less reliable.
Hello Ford! I'm crom Italy and I want ti buy this car as soon as possibile! Can you tell me when It will be available here? My local Ford dealer has no idea ..
I thought Ford said the consumption of the new ST would be 11% lower than the previous ST200 and the emission had estimated around 114 gr/km. I am petrolhead but daily usability concerns me, especially in terms of economy
I get 50 mpg on long motorway runs & 35-36 mpg driving to work old one I got 30 mpg driving to work I think the main thing with the new one is to get in to sixth gear ASAP then start flooring it
Hey Ford Europe, tell your American sibling to put their bean counters on check. You guys finally refresh the alien looking interiors and bring some excitement, and FoA decides to sell the worse handling lifted Focus only.
Pickle Ahoy Ford has betrayed the US again. Of course the Focus did poorly in the previous numbers when it's base model has a shameful DCT which shook confidence in the brand among average consumers. KIA and other opportunistic manufacturers will end up devastating Ford by the time Ford realises that Rally, Drifting, and motorsports of all kinds are gaining popularity and the new generation wants something different from Mom and Dad's SUV or truck. I don't know where Ford found these people who are currently running the US division, but for their sake I hope they left room for rapid flexibility.
I bought the 2018 fiST (NA version) as we in USA are screwed on new fiesta and focus....worse the focus active only version we will see isnt AWD (which kind of defeats the purpose of what they say its for) and unless they give us an engine option like the ST which they aren't ford performance is finished in the u.s (besides mustang too big and bulky for me).....I'll mod my fiST and when my wife buys new in a year and a half I'll be pushing for subaru or Volkswagen as ford now offers nothing I really want well in the u.s. at least
Seige CJ The Mustang has always been the glory car from Ford US, which is fine, but many of us want a more practical kind of performance. There is a call for strong 4 cyl or 6 cyl sedans and hatches and the Focus, Fiesta, and Fusion are nearly all you see on the roads near me. Seriously, there are way less Chevy, Dodge, or any other domestic vehicle in that class. So an extremely popular set of platforms are getting chopped not due to consumer demand, but for profit in spite of consumer demand for the more sporty, fun and fuel efficient car platforms that they have grown to depend on and love. Now there will be no parts, no innovations, no support for the vehicles we so trustingly have purchased which makes them largely into disposable cars that are on borrowed time rather than a long term investment. And that means something to those of us still making payments on our Mk3s, which I would never have purchased had I known this was coming. That's what makes me mad anyway, I'm sure others have their own reasons.
sure is, Ford imo stuffed up with so much bad press re their powershift auto transmission, one good reason they are pulling the Fiesta and Focus from the US market, shame they are world class cars
same as the last one, at the end of the production run likely 3 years. Similar to when the Focus RS gets done, at the end of the first cycle before the face-lift.
It seems like the new ST is over 150kg heavier than the previous ST which had a kerb weight of 1088KG whereas the new one is 1262Kg... thats not good is it, and did the journalists feel the weight difference, or is it still as agile feeling as the previous gen ST?
got more power than the old one, so the power to weight is pretty close to the old model (158bhp vs 165bhp per tonne). Plus it's got a better diff and a more square stance to the road so if anything it's more agile. Even my new shape ST-Line handles as good as its predecessor
Tom Clayton yes but I feel like the engineers put in the fancy new rear curved springs to compensate for the fact that's it's a lot heavier, surely being heavier will make it feel less Darty and less agile than the predecessor, but as u said, the new suspension might make it difficult to notice the extra weight... An LSD in a car that has 200bhp is a bit unnecessary don't u not think tho
Tom Clayton ya the track width increased by like 148mm... That's a huge difference and has super sports tires!... On an ST haha ford has went all in with this new one!.... But I'm really glad that journalists have been saying that it's just as agile and as happy to get the back out on lift off as the previous gen is so I'm good!
Rejoice Rone As a MP215 owner, this new car adds nothing to me. If I want a quaife LSD I can get it installed on mine. As you said, the base weight is lighter as well.
Seige CJ ya fair enough, an LSD on the previous gen fiesta will make it even better! Also with the 3 cylinder engine and ford got so much power out of it, I worry abt the long term reliability of the engine, especially ppl buying these r going to thrash it to the red line as often as they can, and it wudnt offer much of a power upgrade from unlike the previous gen cuz it only has 3 cylinders now
Great one! In Poland there's some excellent driver's roads as well. Like Ostróda-Olsztynek in Masuria land of lakes and forests. Also near road number 58: Pisz-Szczytno. Beautiful views and great road surface. More info: autoblog24.pl/2015/02/najlepsza-idealna-droga-w-polsce-gdzie/
The last ford fiesta & focus model got a major gear issue. I went to the workshop twice a year just to change the bloody clutch , motor .. Very irresponsible for the past 8 years Ford company is not doing anything while many complains and lousy invention!!
Scrap... downswing engines are not good for that's way BMW and VW probably go back to Rightsizing engines. 3cylinder newer give good culture of working unit and this vibrations no thanks. Better CO2 emissions that's a myth and proven.
Danishkhan basharat ali it’s just for USA. Ford makes what people demand in USA very few buying ford cars. Probably 98% of the people crying about ford stopping the car production don’t own ford cars
Sounds like a 1/2 3.5l twin turbo ecoboost V6, and frankly sounds best out of all 1.5l turbo engines I ve ever heard.
This generation of Ford Focus and Fiesta is beautiful
I have a 140 HP Fiesta st line and simply amazing.... Imagine this One...
Same here :)
I live here, it's a wonderful place to enjoy the wild nature of Italy's centre during the whole year....
Doing the road full throttle all the way up is astonishing both by car and motorbike but remember: it's cyclists favorite place also!
Roadies love to train going up and Mountain Bikers love to thrill going fast offroad here!

@Landry Gael Happy to help =)
love this advert for the road
In love with this Pocket Rocket 🚀
Wow the engine sounds so nice
Great job Ford. Great cars, great roads.
Ordered mine last week. I have the feeling that I won't regret it!
P1TV Was haltet ihr von einem 3 Zylinder turbo 1,5 l das ist doch doof....
RP20072003 Was genau ist daran doof? Ich finde es genial. Klingt wie ein kleiner M3. Dazu hochmodern, effizient und kompakt. Kann absolut nicht nachvollziehen, warum Leute 3 Zylinder für ein Problem halten.
P1TV das soll kein hate sein ich sags nur die 3 Zylinder sind nicht meins ich brauche 2 l 4 zylinder^^
Ne ich frage ja nur nach dem Grund. 2L 4 Zylinder ist halt standard. Bei einem Performance Auto spielt auch Gewicht eine Rolle. Und mehr Gewicht sparen als mit einem kompakt gebauten 1.5 L Alublock geht doch nicht ;)

ford knows how to make fun cars..
Man, that drone reveal shot at 5:30 is epic...🤩
Amazing car Ford Ford is the best company noting else Ford cars are the best cars ever been made and I love all Ford cars
And yet you have a Picture from a VW Beetle...

So glad were getting this model in the states....
Looks good, sounds great!!
0:18 It does the "3-wheel salute" on a public road. o.O
Then does it again a few seconds later. That's quite naughty!
YEESSSSS STEVE STUTCLIFFE!!!! I really hope he did a video review for Auto express on this new ST!!!!!!!!!
I love my Ford Fiesta. It’s a Ford brand that my parents remember. I’m in the market for a new car so hurry with the best Ford has to offer! I was at the Hyundai dealership with my brother, and you got some competition. Let’s go!!!

sound of 3 cylinders is better than 4 pots.
Sounds like the five cylinders Volvo engine
Interesting headlamp design 2:26 . Quite different to the photos of the production version. Also looks like they incorporate cornering lights at 0:25.
Love the sound!! Sweet!!
This Is my place... Thanx for this video and for the choice. Grazie amico
I will probably get one of these as I really like the look of it. Not been to this part of Italy. I will head there.
Thinking about getting the new ST when it comes out next month.... I currently own a MK6 ST with just 20,000 miles on the clock that’s up for sale very soon....
No 2018 Fiesta ST or Focus ST to the States, Ford bean counters pulled the plug on these two models, sucks for us hot hatch enthusiast.
enjoyed this!
It actually looks really nice although the rear is a bit mundane, much better looking than the new Focus
Spettacolo! W ITALY
My dreamcar...hopefully one day....
Please bring it to Brazil
That looks fuckin awesome
Nice but, why those taillights??
Great Video Review
Why a 3 cylinder? That's a step back!! What were you thinking Ford??
Great job Ford. Great cars, great roads, such a pity the image quality is not great at all. Sorry for this sincere feedback, but I guess we expect some up-to-date content from such a great company wich you are.

How much in the UK Ford? When is it available?
The front looks ace but the back just looks like a C-Max :(
The front looks like a gaping fish.
Looks like an aston martin
thebiker300 it looks awesome but i preferred the other shape
Drive modes is traction conrrol. Do you have the mic on top of the motor.
My question is can a 3 cylinder be as reliable as 4 ?
Dan Bob one less cylinder to have issues with lol.
Ben Troxell Probably you didn't studied mechanics , 4 cilynders means you a have force every 90° but you can compensate this force with another cilynder. With 3 cilinders you have it every 120° but you can't compensate it. So in long terms in theory the 3 cylinder is less reliable.
Dan Bob ah I see what you’re saying.
Oh great another badass car Ford wont sell on its home turf.
How did you find this fantastic and unknown road?
I’ve missed you Steve. Where have you been?
I saw sooooooo many people wearing that shirt!!! where do they all get It from😂
Ecco dove andrò, dunque
WANT.
Hello Ford! I'm crom Italy and I want ti buy this car as soon as possibile! Can you tell me when It will be available here? My local Ford dealer has no idea ..
Sounds like a BMW M4. Would love to get my hands on one for a review!
I thought Ford said the consumption of the new ST would be 11% lower than the previous ST200 and the emission had estimated around 114 gr/km. I am petrolhead but daily usability concerns me, especially in terms of economy
I get 50 mpg on long motorway runs & 35-36 mpg driving to work old one I got 30 mpg driving to work I think the main thing with the new one is to get in to sixth gear ASAP then start flooring it

The True you guys also get the Shelby GT350(R), and we don't. So horses for courses. 😕

Sharing is caring! We want the Shelby GT350 too ;)
I would like a long term test car please. Five years will be enough : )
I’ll stick to my MK 7.5 ST
Ritchie411 I will to for £24k & £19k second hand
To bad USA won't get the new ST
sure is, Ford imo stuffed up with so much bad press re their powershift auto transmission, one good reason they are pulling the Fiesta and Focus from the US market, shame they are world class cars
As if u would get one for ur garage if launched.
test man I already have a molten orange 2015. HBU?
Powershift is gone, proper torque converters now, plus US will get Fiesta and Focus Active models and SUVs, inc Edge ST
wtf? Edge ST? the thing ways as much as a small moon
Doug demuro said it’s discontinued
Does somebody knows the name of the song at the end of the video?
When st200 will be presented and comes out on market?
same as the last one, at the end of the production run likely 3 years. Similar to when the Focus RS gets done, at the end of the first cycle before the face-lift.
Can we Expect here in India !!
And of course, it's not available in the U.S. Guess I'll just have to move to Europe. Who's with me?!
Je voulais acheter cette fiesta mais je ne le ferai pas, juste à cause de la lumière bleue sur ces écrans et vous ne pouvez pas le changer
Wow, not only are we not getting this in the good ol' US of A, we're not getting any ford cars anymore. WTF Ford?
UA-cam butchered the video quality. The previous 2016 Fiesta ST video in Spain(?) at the same resolution looks 10x better.
At least it doesn't have a million exhaust exists in the back, good.
It seems like the new ST is over 150kg heavier than the previous ST which had a kerb weight of 1088KG whereas the new one is 1262Kg... thats not good is it, and did the journalists feel the weight difference, or is it still as agile feeling as the previous gen ST?

no asia delivery, so sad
Monte velino not valino
😍😍😍
Told us about Italy and nothing about the car.
Yeah only if you gave america it. Ford is the only car manufacturer that i know, that sells better cars overseas rather than it's home market
ช่วยทำให้เสปคไทยไม่มีปัญหาทีครับ
Delete video Ford on UA-cam my
Great one!

Ford fiesta st come to philippines😭😭. Hhuhueee
Im sure it handles well but my god i hate the looks so much. So much so i wont ever buy another fiesta
when will you offer an ST with paddle shifters?
boy teebah No.
boy teebah .... smh
The last ford fiesta & focus model got a major gear issue. I went to the workshop twice a year just to change the bloody clutch , motor .. Very irresponsible for the past 8 years Ford company is not doing anything while many complains and lousy invention!!

Willy Wonka
New car is awful to look at. Real shame 😢
Im never buying a ford again, they are screwing their home country ffs!
But ford is eventually going to stop building cars to focus on SUVs and trucks ,what's the point of investing in Ford cars now ?
Danishkhan basharat ali it’s just for USA. Ford makes what people demand in USA very few buying ford cars. Probably 98% of the people crying about ford stopping the car production don’t own ford cars
Interior dash looks like the new corolla hatch 😕
Brian De La Luz the current gen. Fiesta has been in the market for a year now
Edi Pires yeah but idk that touch screen just looks out of place very nice car though I own a 14 focus ST
