Good to see you’re still making these ST vids, your commentary makes them interesting! I’m still holding out on tuning mine though whilst in warranty! Also a bit worried as it’s also on PCP although I think I might keep hold of it ! Perhaps I want it more than I need it 🤣
you used to be able to keep the engine Warranty if you went down the Mountune road as it was ford approved but that was in the Mk3 Focus days so not sure if its still present
I want one so bad, I have a question though? For the no-lift shift: do you just keep your foot on the gas and drop the clutch, shift, release clutch all while keeping your right foot down?
hi I bam trying to get sdatNav working on my Fiesta Titanium 2020 but I ahve problems How do I input home how do I input destinations how can I make favoutites how can I list favourites Help would be appreciated
Just popped a deposit down on a 2020 ST 2 this morning, so of course I've ended up in a video wormhole... 😅 Love this vid, answered loads of my queries! 👏
@@solmackay a follow up... The ST is now on my drive and I'm so bloody giddy! It needs a service, so I'm being very cautious, but come Friday afternoon when it's done I'm gonna be popping and banging all around town! 😅
hi! great video! hehe Could you specify what you mean by the wheel jump, I'm hesitating to put the powerflex torque more ahead ...when the warranty ends. Thx!
Honestly was barely noticeable stock for me, I usually ran super unleaded as it wasn't much more expensive and but that was before they changed the regular to e10. Think it would work out about the same money as it'll drink more e10
@@solmackay So far noticed normal unleaded from full tank, Petrol drains soo quick down. But when super unleaded, immediately noticed better performance. Felt sharper and my petrol seems stagnant. Think super unleaded may be my go too
Hi mate great video. I’m looking at getting a fiesta ST but seen a few comments to do with the steering column acting up and being expensive. Is it a common thing?
Out of all the problems it's quite common, but the vast majority of cars never have an issue. So if you are unlucky enough to have an issue it'll probably be the steering column
If you change size from 205/40 to 225/40 - it will change "total size" from 621mm to 637mm, So actual speed will be higher if you compare it with speedometer. Will it be a problem or this car on speedometer shows speed higher than actual by default?
@@solmackay thank you :) are default 18* wheels 7j width? because as i see for 225/40 we need 7.5j minimum :( 215/40 is possible on 7j and its a little bit less expensive than 205... but again, winter tires are so rare and expensive... i start thinking about R17 with 215/45 for belarussian winter with bad roads... p.s. unfortunately i dont have fiesta, i hope to buy used one from Europe in spring 2022
I want one but, I can't chose 5 doors or 3 door. :( Like I like the 5 door practacliy but the 3 doors looks sporty will the 5 doors ruin it? I'm looking getting mean green paint 👌
I feel like there would be very little difference between them, I test drove a 5dr and the only thing that put me off was the door pillar right next to where I sat if I were.to look out the side window
How much is the performance pack worth? I can’t seem to find any features from it so i want to get a refund for at least that part of false advertising from the dealer
I'm also in the market for an mk8 but I have seen a lot of people advertising ST-3 with the blue stitched seats, does this mean they are falsely advertising?
I think all the st3s had the alcantara/leather seats apart from the st edition (light blue colour) had alcantara and blue stitching. But yeah I think only st2 had the blue stitching
Hello. I See you like Mountainbiking and the fiesta St mk8. I want to get myself the fiesta St mk8 . do you think or know if an ebike (specialized kenevo) will fit inside the car with both wheels removed ? Would be interesting to know .
Great video. Nicely put together and super informative.
Cheers dude 👍

Not any more unfortunately 😕

Yes, that's it
Mine just arrived and I'm worried about it marking my car as it's metal against the paint ?

@@IanRossDavies how much is a good second hand st these days
@AOP yes I did, was to do with the exhaust valve not turning. New adapter from milltel sorted it 👌
Who else is watching this and also lives in America and also wants one??

Just got one of these last month, wondering what fuel should I use. Unleaded or super unleaded?
Honestly was barely noticeable stock for me, I usually ran super unleaded as it wasn't much more expensive and but that was before they changed the regular to e10. Think it would work out about the same money as it'll drink more e10
@@solmackay Ah okay, thanks for the reply!
@@ItsShayn3_ basically I'd just give them both a try and if you notice an economy or performance benefit to super unleaded go with that
@@solmackay So far noticed normal unleaded from full tank, Petrol drains soo quick down. But when super unleaded, immediately noticed better performance. Felt sharper and my petrol seems stagnant. Think super unleaded may be my go too
What is the difference between st-1 / 2 / 3?
Basically just the extras that come with the car, st2 has a better infotainment screen and the st3 has nicer wheels for example
Is that a stock exhaust and not tuned ?
Milltek gpf back and I think I had the TRS stage 1 at this point

Out of all the problems it's quite common, but the vast majority of cars never have an issue. So if you are unlucky enough to have an issue it'll probably be the steering column
Is this a standard exhaust ?
Milltek resonated gpf back
Do ST come in automatic gear box ?
The fiesta st doesn't but the focus st does
if you don't have the dif option , can ford instal it?
Ford might, aftermarket companies will, but for a lot more than the 850 quid option

Yeah this cars speedometer reads higher. I've heard from people that fitting the 225s will make the speedo more accurate

How do you turn on auto lock so when you drive off it locks the doors.
This is a strange one, you can't. You can however code it in to do so. To find out how Google "forscan"
@@solmackay ok thanks for reply.

@@solmackay yeah that would sence the 3 door has a nice big view point.. but other then that dose it take away the looks of the car?
@@Chappers.Gaming I personally like them both, if I were considering buying another fiesta st I would definitely struggle choosing between the two
@@solmackay yeah just like me, I'm struggling to chose, Also they added mean green Soo now I can't chose that paint or Blue
@@Chappers.Gaming I love the mean green to tell you the truth

It was £850 when I got mine, think it went up a bit in 2020 to £910
Out of interest, how come you chose the st2? Just the price or was it the seats?
Yeah I love the seats, also the blue stitching really ties the car together for me
@@solmackay ahh ok, I'm also considering getting an st2

I'd say so, I can fit a normal bike with only the front wheel removed inside the car if you don't mind it getting a bit muddy
@@solmackay that's great to hear thank you :)
Into moutain biking and also own a Fiesta ST albeit a Mk7! Subbed :)
Do you have an aftermarket exhaust or is it stock?
It's a Milltek gpf back
@@solmackay sounds quite nice. Similar to a 6 cylinder.
