I love mine. Give it a rear motor mount, shift kit, an intercooler and a tune, and it's even more fun. Solid reliability after 4 years. Not getting rid of this car.
Been a happy owner for almost 5 months, got it just before I turned 19 as a second car. So much fun to drive on an empty back road, average mpg for me is 36, but if I drove it like my old picanto it’d probably do 40😂
Hello fellas. Picking up me 2016 ST3 in black with less than 22,000 miles on the clock this Friday. To tell you guys that I can't wait is an understatement. Did you take the plunge & get one yourself?? Great review, great scenery......great car!!!
Good car, got one two years ago and recently add mr215 (stage one) and added the mountune High flow induction hose for that additional whoosh. Looking at exhausts now. 40 mpg on commute impossible for me get 29
I've owned all sorts of cars including bmw m3 focus rs mk 2 focus st focus rs mk3 x6 rrs merc slk 55 amg etc however the fiesta st we have is the best all rounder we've owned brilliant car for the road does everything well and not too big or expensive to maintain properly. .....Ford nailed it future classic
The low view count might be down to the intro. It's the opposite of click bait. Anyone that thinks one of the best driving cars on the market is overrated has no clue what there talking about. I have a Mark 8 st 3 and it's superb and fantastic to drive. I've had every model from xr2 to present day. They have all been great driving cars and a fantastic little hot hatch
I’ve got one absolutely love it! Pride and joy, but when you said if you drive it sensibly you could get 40mpg I can’t agree on that as it’s to difficult to drive sensible in 😂 to tempting to keep putting your foot down.
7:25 you seem to find heel and toe fine? Many other have commented that the brake pedal being higher than the accelerator makes it harder. 7:38 that face 😂 I feel ya mate, I can't stand being a passenger either
Great video and great job men! Thank you very much for the view of the footwork. It could be possible to continue to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork for next manual cars videos please? :)
I love mine. Quick enough for a daily and gets almost 600 km to a tank in the city (when I drive with my dog in the back) 550 the rest of the time … and that is on regular gas (petrol) … even better on the highway. Everyone says that about the seats. And ditch the Symposer and it is quieter all the time.
Best money you can spend on a turbo hatch with a manual….the 4 door is even more practical, almost don’t need another vehicle unless you had a need for a truck.
Standard fiesta Mark 7 ST’s when on the Dino have 290 Nm and 202 BHP because they’ll be on full boost such a clever engine capable of 50 mpg if driven like your grandma style, but normal driving you’ll get close to 40 🙃👎
Common issue that causes this is when the coolant tank splits if I’m not mistaken. The coolant tank split is very common in these and I’m suffering from it 🥲😂
40mpg!!!? lmao i've never seen over 30 but then again i've not been able to get that steel block out of my right shoe.. aaaand mines running 345bhp lmao
Would you buy one?
Love the colour - but not a fan of Ford.
Yeah because I bought one👍🏻. Beyond happy with it, surprises a lot people for only being a 1.6
I did!

I have one of the rare 5 door models. Stage 1 with Laird performance and it just puts a smile on my face every time
doesn't matter what car you have if you're going up against an ST on back roads just know its gonna be free smoke
Never heard a bad thing about the handling so you know Ford done it right

Brilliant! Thank You. Brings out the " Boy racer"! However, FORD with the Fiesta and Focus ST hard to beat in bang for your buck terms. Cheers!
Agreed! Thanks Keith 👍

Would be great to see a video on the MK8 Fiesta ST to hear your thoughts on the comparison between that and this MK7 👍🏼
I bought one not knowing how sweet it was; its now got a S280 and i seriously love the car :).

The video quality on this plus color grading is awesome plus a ton of B roll footage, surprised this doesn't have more views
We will get there ✌️

The title of the video is negative
Excellent review some great shots
Cheap and great fun a little stiff on the suspension

Ford nailed it with these.
You guys deserve more views. Great editing. Really liked watching this. I owned one too, fun little driver cars!
6:41 - 7:20 I recognise that stretch of the M62 very well haha
7:25 you seem to find heel and toe fine? Many other have commented that the brake pedal being higher than the accelerator makes it harder.
7:38 that face 😂 I feel ya mate, I can't stand being a passenger either
Great video guys👍. Shot really well
Another great video gents!
Cheers Joe. 👌👋

Great video, how would you compare the ride and “fun” aspect to the S1 you drove a few months back?
Fiesta is a lot more engaging.
I love mine. Quick enough for a daily and gets almost 600 km to a tank in the city (when I drive with my dog in the back) 550 the rest of the time … and that is on regular gas (petrol) … even better on the highway.

I just wish we got the coupe (3 door) in Canada.
Absolute stunner
I'd love to know where that road is
ford should do a remake of the rs turbo
In my eyes the fiesta st is basically that. But better :)
3:43 Harry’s garage?? 😂😂😂
Cool video. I have a 2017 fiesta st and a 2019 edge st. Excellent vehicles.
great video. subscribed
i have a mk8 fiesta st, love it.
Thank you 🙏

Don’t the blocks crack on these?

My playground those are my roads also 👍
Is that road where you over took just of m62 j22
Yes. With the house in the middle of the motorway.
I'm buying this car next year
Do a grande punto t-jet next
Yeh man!
40mpg!!!? lmao i've never seen over 30 but then again i've not been able to get that steel block out of my right shoe.. aaaand mines running 345bhp lmao
Saddleworth moor 🤔
Far more fun with 250 plus bhp , not much will keep up on a twisty b road
We loved it :)
250bhp plus, is a stage 2 not the same car anymore , I have driven a stage 2 you will need a proper LSD and some sticky tyres for the torque.
@@singh2702 I’ve got one and it’s really not that different to standard in terms of its handling dynamics. Obviously quicker in a straight line
There exactly that tandard but even so i20n is potus now
Proper yorkshire 👍
I have a new i20n yes you can the the knee before thee now
The mountune pack is worst tuning package you can pick lol
What's the reason? I bought mine with MP215 on it.
@@ricsi9926 every other company which puts out a stage 1 map gets 230brake and more torque than the mp215 package. And all for less money.
@The Bump Test Guy Sorry but no. Companies like Revo and TRS are extremely experienced in tuning with thousands of cars done.
@@IsaacArnall Na he is right. You’re resale value is fucked with those tunes. Much rather go moutune
@@astradala1845 You obviously have no idea avout the modified car scene then 🤣🤣
