  • Leasing.com goes all "Stranger Things" as Howard Ritchie embraces his inner 80s car hooligan for our 2019 Model, still current for 21, 22, Ford Fiesta ST review. Including POV, exhaust and the full old Top Gear treatment. Making us all want to visit a seaside arcade and have a go on OutRun...or just get a Fiesta ST. The big question, is it better than the Golf GTI?
    The Ford Fiesta ST is powered by a 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine with three cylinders, one turbocharger and plenty of power - 197bhp, plus extra low-down power when the standard over-boost is engaged.0-62mph - 6.5 seconds and the car's top speed is 144mph.

    What are your thoughts about Ford removing the Fiesta from their family? Are you excited to see what comes next?

      Big mistake dropping the fiesta & the focus in 2025,the ford range will soon consist of bland boring hybrid/ev suv's looks like my mk8 fiesta st is going to be a keeper

    I can understand your comparative price comments, but the Fiesta ST has one important factor over those other cars - it is pure fun. One of the few cars that put a smile on my face while driving

    I prefer the SYNC3 system in Night Mode. Fits the interior far better and it's still bright enough even with sun shining on it.

    Without the Limited slip diff... this car is just a Fiesta ST MK VII .... with some nice optional extra's.
    As far as the fun driving experience goes, absolutely get the LSD.
    The highway fuel consumption is worse than the MK VII but the City cycle is better.
    It's a great car, and you won't be disappointed buying one... the 2020 Focus ST is so much more "grown up" though... better in all ways, which is the way it should be.
    SYNC 3 is brilliant... big disagree with you on that one.
    If you want to be an old man get a M140I ... if you want to be boring get a Golf R... both good cars, but they don't have the raw fun of the Ford Hot Hatch range.
    Nice review

    I was going to get the new model as Ford was going to bring both the two door & the 5 door here to the US, but unfortunately Ford pulled the plug on all car sales in the US with the exception of the Mustang, I currently have a 2014 Fiesta ST and love it, it’s on a stage 2 Pro Tune witch really woke it up, I have a short shift kit motor mount 3 inch exhaust bigger intake bigger intercooler and a Cobb access port with sticky Mitchlen tires, it will be my last car, as I’m 72 years young and have had many cars and motorcycles, by this is the most fun I ever had behind the wheel.

    BMW M140i and Golf R are both twice the price of this in Denmark. Just ordered the Fiesta MK8 ST2 with the LSD and wheels off the ST3. From 09.2018 with 11k on it. for the whopping price of 30k GBP. That's Danish tax for you.

    "Real world 46 mpg".... that is better than what Ford says it will do. The best I have *ever* seen my mk8 ST do is 36mpg and when a tiny bit of spirited driving I get close to 23 mpg

    No doubt it was a remark to get people commenting, but you would prefer a Fiesta ST to a Focus RS, not sure how many people would agree with that, and yes I do own an RS, so yes I am biased. Although I have test drove a Fiesta ST and will agree it is a great car, but comparable to an RS?

    • @paulhope3401
      @paulhope3401 2 роки тому +1

      I don't think he's comparing it to a Focus RS, just that he prefers it. The RS is obviously a step up in performance but sometimes you can have just as much fun in smaller, livelier, less stable 2wd cars.
      I'm on the verge of choosing a new ST over a Yaris GR.. and I know that sounds crazy but fir me the GR is just a bit too planted to have fun in without losing your licence.

  • @DjNikGnashers
    @DjNikGnashers 4 роки тому +1

    It's a fantastic little car, brilliant fun at speeds you won't have to hand your licence over for.
    To even mention it in the same breath as a Golf R, or an M140i is ridiculous.
    I chose an M140i although I did look at a Fiesta ST.
    The M140i had better tech, better interior, much MUCH faster, and was actually more fun, due to RWD.
    One cheeky remap later and I am in something which troubles RS3's and A45's.

      @@TRiBaL1981 Yes I agree.
      For it's price point it's a brilliant car.
      I had the comparison of a 2 & a half year old M140i, or a brand new Fiesta ST.
      Maybe I should have made it clearer, apologies.
      They were the same price.

    • @bwho
      @bwho 5 років тому +1

      Because Ford can't sell them in great enough numbers to justify having them for sale. IOW's - in the U.S. customers want big 'ole pick-em-up trucks and SUV's. Not hatchbacks and not sedans. Not enough. Ford wants to just manufacture what they can turn around and sell. I like this little car - I've read so many great reports on the car by now to believe them.
