    The Ford Fiesta ST is one of my favorite cars Ford has EVER made. Lightweight, great handling, enough space for most things, and great driver feedback. However when I had the chance to drive a 300HP BIG turbo Ford Fiesta ST I just couldn't say no. So how is a bunch of power in this little hot hatch? Let's talk about it.

      @@liamoconnell1308 I went from a 08 gti to a 15 Fist and loved it! For me it was so much more fun to drive, but the gti felt way more luxurious. My biggest gripe over the years was the interior design being so dull for dailying. I made a few upgrades that made a big difference visually like red/black leather wrapped steering wheel and carbon fiber shifter etc. but all in all i have no regrets. Owned it for 7 years now and still get excited for every drive.

      @@liamoconnell1308 Back in 2015-2016, I test drove the Polo GTi, Golf GTi, Proceed GT, 208 GTi, Clio RS, Focus ST, Fiesta ST, Mini Cooper S, and... the Swift Sport.
      eventually settled for the Fiesta ST200 (a EU special edition) because it was the most fun to drive, and the cheapest, after the Swift Sport, which was actually also fun.
      Problem with the VW lineup, they are fast, but expensive, and boring. the driving feel is just boring. too much nanny computers.

    I sold my 2017 5.0 to get a 2016 FIst cause of money. Despite how sad I was after I sold it, the FIst was like finding a new girl that isn’t as hot as the last girl, but she makes you way happier overall.

      I thought I was gonna be disappointed after driving a heavily modified focus. Ended up getting a moderately modified 83,000 mile fiesta for 13,000 (focus was 17,000) and I couldn't be happier. A little more space and power would be nice but I'm making it work! I have a single dirtbike\mtn bike trailer and I'm gonna throw a hitch on when I get better shocks and closer to stock height. It's a blast and I'm stoked to take it on the dragon soon!

    Awesome video, I have a 14 Fiesta ST with 97,000 miles on it, it has a Cobb stage two tune, short shift kit, 3” exhaust. I’ve had 14 cars & 9 Motorcycles in my life and at 73 years young it’s the most fun I’ve ever had driving, I’m on my 6th set of tires, that’s how hard I drive it, my friends can’t believe I’m on the stock clutch. What makes it so unique is there rare, there not like your normal cookie cutter cars, I have many Visual mods and I get compliments all the time. The Fiesta Flash. 🤙🏼🍺🍺🍺

    It's funny that you mention that the factory turbo reminds you of a Saab, because I have always been a Saab fan and I kind of get the same kind of spirit from my Fiesta ST. It's kind of like a modern 99 Turbo, even the dimensions and wheelbase are really similar.
    I think I'm going to go with a hybrid turbo though instead of the full "big turbo" on mine though because that low-end torque is addictive!

    To elaborate, this is my 3rd time having the transmission off in 3000 miles of ownership 🙃. First time I thought slave cylinder had failed, it was the master. New slave blew out cuz I put the clutch in backwards (99% of the other cars I've done were different). Removed trans a second time and fixed the issue. Then I was able to afford the right part($500 sprung Spec clutch for my single Mass flywheel) so I slapped that in.

If you don't move the belt when putting the seat back, it doesn't latch, but looks normal, until the first time you brake hard and it slams the back of your seat, haha.

    Perhaps the most fun car I've ever owned. I saw one of these in Europe and bought one of the last new Fiesta ST's when I got home. The best part of owning one is the rare occasion when you pull up next to another Fiesta ST owner and they have the same big smile on their face because they know. The only downside is knowing I'll never be able to drive one off the Ford lot again.

I worked at Ford at the time and two of my co workers had stage 3 fost's so I had seat time in both.

      @@markie2xx yeah, you can trail brake mid corner until it almost straighten and gas out. You can also brake early going into the corner and gas lightly and then full throttle out at the end. Really just depends on how tight the corner is. Like lets say a 3 left corner (not sure if you know rally terms, but mildly tight corner.) I can be going 45mph with gas half pressed then slow press into full throttle as it straightens. Lots of weight distribution goes into play, too. Love it!

    One thing I noticed, between Focus St owners and Fiesta St owners, is people who used to own a Focus st, really don't miss that car. They don't brag about it, they rarely even mention they owned one.
    BUT oh my, you Fiesta St guys, the comments are filled with previous owners, regretting their sale of the car. That alone speaks volumes of the driving experience this little hatchback was able to provide.
    I didn't have an st, but I did have one of the rare 6 speed manual, 1.6ecoboost Ford fusions. Only 2013s, and they are hard to find.. Yes it was slow, but again, that experience of just owning the car and thrashing it, makes me miss it.. If I wasn't 6ft3, and fat, maybe I'd try a Fiesta st. Lmao. Fusion was just easier to sit in.
