      Fitment Industries I’ve driven both. Currently have the fiesta and I’m loving the handling, I just wish that the aftermarket was bigger for them.
      I love the focus because it has a lot more room on the inside. Personally they’re both amazing and I highly recommend them for anyone wanting to get a hot hatch.

    I'm 48 years old and test drove one of these on a whim 2 years ago on a twisty mountain road. 3 months later I sold the Miata I'd owned for 20 years, bought a Fiesta ST and have won a (and going to predict a second one, here) SCCA Class (local) AutoX championship. It has literally changed my life. It is the very best commuter car you could ever hope for. It's always exactly at the speed you want to be going and you can drive the little bean at 10/10ths EVERYWHERE and never catch a cops eye. Oh, and 26-35mpg? Yes, please.

      The Fiesta ST doesn't need much to improve it's already fun demeanor, all you need is a upgraded Rear Motor Mount, Drop in air filter upgrade and some nice sticky tires. Now if you want to go a little beyond that, get a bigger FMIC, Cobb AP, step colder spark plugs and a E30 tune from Stratified or Dizzy, next thing you know you're making 320lb/tq in a 2,700lb car.

      Easy (according to my own experience over 3 years and 60k kilometers as a daily):
      1. Proper adjustable coilover suspension (e.g. ST XTA)
      2. upper and lower strut braces
      3. PU bushings for engine, transmission and exhaust mounts
      4. lighter wheels in 16" or 17" with semi slicks
      5. Quaife LSD
      6. 3.5" sports cat + 2.5" exhaust system
      7. proper remap (e.g. Peron Stage 2 Pro for 98 octane)
      (In that order!) Against common belief: At this power (~210 whp) you do not necessarily need to upgrade your intercooler or change the airbox; save the money and spend it on one of the above. I autocross mine and heat soak has never been an issue.

  • @VintzDesert
    @VintzDesert 4 роки тому +62

    As a fiesta driver I agree. It handles better than the focus, is miles ahead in reliability than the RS, and is just as fun as a miata. It's pretty easy to do FBO, Big Turbo, and tune and push 3xx WHP. Majority of tuned fiestas these days are doing that. Oh yeah and it weighs under 2800 pounds. Imagine a 2800 pound 320 WHP hatchback...that's what makes this car so amazing the power to weight ratio even stock is stooooooooopid good. I recommend everyone test drive one and take the on ramp to a highway at 60 mph. You will smile your ass off. Been smiling for the last 2.5 years

I bought a 16' FiST with 18k miles on it for the same price of a 14' Focus ST with 75k miles on it. My god this car is awesome! I live in the states where they arent very popular, it doesnt draw a lot of attention until they here it spool or see it handle corners like a go cart. Badass car, it never seizes to make me smile.

Everyone who has driven mine through corners have loved it, even if they were just cruising because it’s just so damn fun to drive. Not for everyone but to me it’s absolutely the best car I could’ve bought on my budget. Doesn’t have any ‘comfort features’ really but doesn’t bother me, no cruise control, poor ac for Aussie summers, stereo isn’t great, 5 speed revs at 3000rpm doing 100kmh.

    I traded my 2017 Fiat 124 Spider for a 2015 Ford Fiesta ST and man... best decision I've ever made and I'm not a FWD guy! I've always owned RWD and AWD sports cars. The 124 handled better for sure, BUT little aftermarket support narrowing to only 3 companies with only 2 tuners.. yeah no thanks. The Fiesta has TONS of support and puts a huge smile on my face just driving that little car. Amazing car. I'm so happy that I stopped being bias against American cars and finally got one.

    These bad bois run on 4x108.... an absolute nightmare to find good wheels for. If youre willing to go custom drilled youre okay, but off the shelf is very small selection.

    FYI, we did have the first gen Fiesta here in the US. My bestfriend's older sister drove one. Ford tried to bring the spirit here with the Festiva, which was built by Kia with a Mazda 323 engine/tranny. It was a decent little car but the 12" wheels were humorous, and wheel/tire options were extremely limited eventhough the car was sold from 1987-1993. You had to upgrade to 13" wheels. It was very reliable, but it was short lived as well.

    I bought my Fiesta ST in 2008 (2.0 Duratec) never looked back, bang for the buck you won't drive anything as fun for that price tag. Backroads and canyons it's where it really shines, the narrower and twistier the road the better. I currently run a Bilstein B12 suspension kit, Proxes T1R and OMP strut bar and now the driving experience is even better. Lots of aftermarket parts in Europe, even compressor kits. New Fiesta ST is also greatI though I personally prefer the N/A feel. Such a shame that Fiestas don't get the same recognition as GTIs, Civics... I own a MK3 GTI as well and driven quite a few Polos and Golfs from different years but trust me, the little Ford is a different game altogether.

I'm a huge fan of the st though having been old enough/ lucky enough to have owned a few hot hatches in the past including the pug 205 GTI, golf gti ,saxo vts and a mini cooper s. I really love the handling of the little st though my daily commute is a 46 mile round trip along windy country roads perfect for hooning along in the st. Owned now for 18 months and with a few tasteful mods including rear engine mount, short shifter and a maxd out stage 1 remap. I suppose at my age i should be driving something more sensible/boring like a beemer or an audi but im just enjoying the little st so much it iant going to happen anytime soon!
