  • In this dark... darker and darkest video at 1c in the Beacons. I discuss what I love about the MK8 Fiesta ST. This video doesn't really have any topics, structure and is mostly the ramblings of a man who hasn't uploaded in 8 months. A proper video on this topic will be coming in the spring featuring common issues, things to look out for, communities and a more in-depth review!
    Thanks for watching!

    Love my ST! Silver Fox is by far the best color. Still turn around every time after I park the car.

    This car will still be relevant in 2035, it was the best of his class, and it will be a collectors item in the future.
    I own a frozen white St-3, without the full led lights and the performance pack, do have launch control and the shift light, because the dealer unlocked those for me, but i am so happy with it, brings joy everyday!

    Only extra you really need is the Performance Pack.

    He needs to sort his tyre pressures out; should be 36 in the front & 28 in the rears or 30 if he's a bit liberal with speed limits.

      @@worldly8429 Hey bud - I've got a video coming out soon on things to look out for and things to be aware of.
      Nothing major, rear shocks are weak on these and tend to go and require replacements, but Ford tend to do it for free. The steering wheel can sometimes have a knock or a click, but it's purely cosmetic. Nothing major happening, Ford are aware and will do sort outside of warranty.
      The only other thing to really be "aware" of, is check there are no outstanding recalls, check it has service history via FordPass app or the booklet, and if possible try and get some sort of warranty from the dealer you're picking it up from for peace of mind.
      Other then that, enjoy it! It's an absolutely brilliant car to drive. I'm sure you'll love it.

    it's basically a brand new car you div

      Considering that the MK8 Fiesta ST has been on sale for 6 years, with the model being discontinued last year, and the pre-facelift being discontinued 2 years ago. Most if not all are nearing end of warranty soon. I'd hardly call it a brand new car. Appreciate the div comment though
