I think its more the fact that most people associate 3 cylinders with motorcycles, not cars. Also they're badly balanced engines, much worse than a 4 cyl so from a technical POV they're a backward step in a car. Their only saving grace is less internal friction and possibly induction losses than a 4 cyl.
In Europe mini-cars like Suzuki had 3 cyl engines for ages. You're right about the balancing issue, but the have balance-axels in the engine the take care of that. The heavy flywheel concerns me more... We all wan't bigger engines and more cylinders, but we also wan't a better world. Ford at least is trying.. Others are going te follow
"In Europe mini-cars like Suzuki had 3 cyl engines for ages." - Yeah, but how many people looking for a new car have Suzuki at the top of their list? This 3 cylinder engine fad seems like the dual mass flywheel nonsense we had a decade ago - seemed like a good idea on a white board but in practice the things fell apart. These engines will have highly stressed components so I reckon their longevity will suffer as a result. Which in the end means car scrapped earlier which is hardly a win for the enviroment.
BEST CAR IN CLASS!! Hope they sell thousands of it!! Ford make the Best Drivers Car for your bucks you litterally can afford. Are you watching VW, Kia?
I have a 2014 ST and had it to 145 mph at 6200 rpm. What a fun car to drive. I would have bought the new one if it were offered here in the USA, but Ford only gives Europe and Australia all the Great Fords. I was lucky to get my 2014 Fiesta ST. It has many Visual & HP modifications. People ask me and give me complements on it’s looks, it’s different than most of the cookie cutter designs these days and you don’t see one at every intersection like all the other plan Jane Cars & SUV’s.
If you're wondering why the manufacturer top speed is higher it's because they do 2 top speed runs: One driving in the same direction with the wind and one against the wind and after that they average the numbers
Tengo un Ford Fiesta ST TURBO 1.5l 200cv Performance,20.000€, es lo más parecido a uno de rali, siempre tienes potencia, de 0 a 100k/h 6.2 segundos,volante, frenos, dirección es una gozada,consumo ciudad 8l,mixto 7l y autopista 6l, un Aparato de verdad,pedir el pack Performance y a flipar, los asientos Recaro una maravilla 💨💨💨
This is the best hot-hatch u can buy for it's price, even for my country (Turkey) which is completely ridicilous about taxes...I love it and gonna buy it hopefully :)
It was decided early on in the USA to build somewhat different highways than in Europe. When I was in the USA, I understood why the word Autobahn was integrated into American.
Peter Lustig I have a US 2014 ST Version and the first thing I did was change the rear motor mount, it’s a big flaw in their design as well as the focus ST. It sounds like the engine is coming through the firewall. Once replaced it actually let you launch better and pulls better when you shift.
What I think is more important is the way the Fiesta accelerates in the part where you drive off the Autobahn to drive back the other direction. It's just so easy how it gains speed :O
I understand you... VW always been leader in hot hatches and premium feel for smaller cars. Ford is really doing a great job with this Fiesta. I still like the VW's exteriors more. It's boring, but so nice
Jarrett Embry it’s really fun to drive the rs, it may cost a lot, may cost more fuel, may cost more time to take care of it, but the smile it put on my face for me.....it’s priceless
Ouch on that launch, sounds like it needs a beefed up rear motor mount, that noise you heard was the engine hitting the firewall, I had the same problem with my 2014 US ST. Replaced it with a Cobb Motor mounts and it solved the problem completely,it actually gives you more traction and grabs 2nd gear great when banging gears. I sure wish we would have gotten this little Rocket over here. I have 60,000 miles on mine and I’m on my 4th set of tires, what a blast to drive on a twisty Mountain Road.
I owned the plain American version 1 liter turbo Fiesta and it was a gas to drive, a shame we Americans aren’t getting the cool cars the Euros are getting.
Let's all do our part: call or write Ford US Customer Relationship Center and tell them what their American customers want. If we all contact them, maybe they'll realize it's a profitable business decision to bring the Mk8 Fiesta ST 6 spd manual transmission to the US/North American market. Wouldn't hurt to ask for the Mk4 Focus ST and/or the Puma ST 6 speed manual as well! Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center P.O. Box 6248 Dearborn, MI 48126 Ford U.S. Phone: 1-800-392-3673
I really don't understand people bitching about the 3cyl engine and it's sound.... Listen to it!!! It sounds like a freaking 6cyl!!! I love it

3cyl on a bike is a fking dream, just listen to the triumph daytona/street triple.
its because people cant stand that a 3 cylinder smokes their 2 liter TSI engines
Holy...It must be very weird seeing a Fiesta flying by you at 240 km/h!

Best 3 cylinder car
what about the bmw i8 ? 3 cylinder 1.5 turbo 230hp
@@Marco-dr5ho i8 is a fucking joke XD pretends to be a super car which will never be. St fiesta sounds much better than i8
Dawid M No it doesn't. Have you even heard the i8 live?
@@Marco-dr5ho its a hybrid and it's way to slow for what it looks like and for the price
@@sliwka621 the i8 has speakers in the exsuast
Wow der Motor ist so durchzugsstark und der Sound dazu. Klasse!!!!!!
i love the B&O Soundsystems, its best u can get in a small car.
Got a ST Line with the sound system and it just shakes you. Definitely worth not having a spare for that sub😂
I swear this 3 cylinder engine sounds like a BMW M3 / M4 when it's revving from 4.000 to 5.500 rpm. At least from headphones perspective ;)
well, its a half 6 zylinder :D ...
In Brazil, Fiest has 130hp and engine sounds is very similary, and limited 190km/h.
This is a good sound generater.
I like ford st, but 3 cylinders?
No way.
@@m-jcfckfanboys times are changing, nothing wrong with 3 cylinders.
Ahahah that sound result from fake engine speakers.
This Car is Awesome 👏
BEST CAR IN CLASS!!
Hope they sell thousands of it!!

Really like the sound of the new Fiesta ST, and 140mph+ is not bad considering it not had a Remap yet.
200hp - 290 Nm - 3 cylinders :o
17.000 dollar best

Yo tengo el edition en 280/90cv, ahora estoy abriendo motor y demas para forjar a ver si me saca 320cv o asi
already drove it. Absolutely great.
That must be a bundle of fun on country roads

Siempre fue un excelente coche, por calidad precio ningun coche lo igualaba
I like fast Fords, because it's always manual and sounds so good!
240 km/h OMG i love it
1:11 is the best bit
Very cool car and video. Thanks for this👌
I have a 2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost but seeing this it makes me want this one really really badly :D
Just picked up my ST and its so fun. def looks best in 3-door.
Looks faster then that new megane RS you tested..
Its not much slower on most tracks:)
That's pretty fast. :)
Not a Ford fan. But this is the best in it's class in my opinion.
Watching this makes me want these sorts of roads in the us.
It was decided early on in the USA to build somewhat different highways than in Europe. When I was in the USA, I understood why the word Autobahn was integrated into American.
damn that launch hurt

Wow that's a hot little rocket you got right there
That thing is rapid! Always loved the Fiesta ST
actually its very impressiv how fast this fiesta goes from 100-200. I think i need to give this car a try :D and drive it by my own
3cyl power ! :D
How a 3 cylinder car have so good sound...amazin
3 cyl bikes sound the best so its not that unexpected
Fake engine sound dude. Bad but true. Pff.
@@bedirhanozdemir8717 dude the sound it's only amplificated from the sound sistem, not modified....
love this car!
I have a 2016. It's a really fun car in the twisties.
Love that sound!
It’s looks very nice
Damn... Focus st will be great
1.0 Ecoboost V-max is 210km/h but this is a monster
My next car! Fantastic engine, also in reprise. Torque is insane,like a Diesel, specially from low Rpm and push to 6500 g/min!
Awesome little car!
I love this car so f*****g much! The way it drives is just awesome. And More... ❤
Ahhh 😍 and we love women's in Ford 💋
Thnk you for the review :) You're the best for that for sure.
Ford is new vw in my eyes
what is that supposed to even mean
Kardeşim şu ingilizceyi bir düzeltsene önce
Is that a good sign? VW is shit... ford is pretty good
I understand you... VW always been leader in hot hatches and premium feel for smaller cars. Ford is really doing a great job with this Fiesta. I still like the VW's exteriors more. It's boring, but so nice
Too bad Ford NA decided to kill off all their cars except the mustang.
I love the Fiesta ST
Très excitant d'avoir l'impression de conduire derrière son écran d'ordinateur ...Belle voiture, mais celles de 2020 sont encore plus belles
That's pretty impressive!
Very Impressive❤❤❤
Thank you!
3 cylinder beast
This little car is so much fun, I bought it😁
Bedankt voor de rit!
It really smooth and sound a little bit like v8 as well.
I had 250km/u on the clock (picture to prove it) 😂👍🏼🙌🏻
I want this car ... Either in blue or grey🥺😍 gonna wait til next year tho then I might have enough money to buy this dream 🥺😍❤️
Its about time!
Damn thats quick
too bad in the US a lot of people dont know how to drive a manual and they dont like small cars, too sad to see the RS and ST goes! >:(
Jarrett Embry Check out the 2019 Edge ST if you haven’t. As a focus owner myself (just a titanium) I would much rather own the Edge ST over the RS
Guy - I did check it out but that’s an SUV the RS is a fun high performance hatch back tho different thing, but I respect your choice
Jarrett Embry it’s really fun to drive the rs, it may cost a lot, may cost more fuel, may cost more time to take care of it, but the smile it put on my face for me.....it’s priceless
Jarrett Embry if I have a family and there is only one car that I can own I would take the ST edge too :)
Huh? How can you get a driver's license if you can't drive a manual? Do you drive an automatic for your exam in the US?
amazing ford 3 cylinder!
cant wait for all the mods for this car
Perfect
5:15 Is what you came here for.
Thank me later.
Driving a '15 in the US; I wish I could upgrade.
pulls very strong regarding the fact that its only 1.5 litre
Tenés el mejor trabajo del mundo entero
I prefer to watch videos with your comments guys
Une tres belle voiture surtout toute options avec le mode sport et je la trouve la meilleure fiesta et bravo 🎈 à toi autotopnl
Y'a pas à dire ford s'est bien amélioré cette année
Hit Watch vraiment je la trouve la meilleure voiture de cette année
Wow it's very fast...😱😱
cruising at 200kmh seems really comfortable after you went 240kmh
Amazing car ❤️
Little Fiesta is a brutal car in his class, the sound that produces 1.5ecoboost 3cyl is amazingly good!!!
all stock? it sounds very smooth! that is crazy that the new 3 cyl is by far better than the 2016 and '17's. I love the headlights on the new 19.
man man jezus een drie cilinder in een ford fiesta ST wat een aan fluiting!
Sounds like you're sitting in a jet @6:02 Just the wind noise.
Ouch on that launch, sounds like it needs a beefed up rear motor mount, that noise you heard was the engine hitting the firewall, I had the same problem with my 2014 US ST.

Incroyable
Aparte suena super sabroso a 6 cilindros. Me encanta!!! Potencia y sonido de 6 cilindros con la mitad 👌👌👌👌
Holy shit, St is my dream
Nice!
And focus line st is coming!!! 2019!
Santi Cuffi when????
ST line isn't the car you want, you want the ST or the RS. Steer clear of the "lines" they are a poor man's fast car.
all trim, no power
nice car !
For all you american folk its 147 mph
Already done 246 with gf Fiesta ST😎
