- I now understand why these are such popular little cars. Would I still buy a Volkswagen Polo instead, yes? Is the Fiesta a better car.... probably.

Heated front windscreen is a major selling point for my mum, And that's why she has one!.
I’ve never had a heated screen... worried that if I got one, then I’d never be able to live without one 😂 like heated seats
Loved mine on cold mornings after night shift . First out of carpark 😂😂
Nice little car. Very comprehensive run down. I'd have loved to see how it does on a more spirited drive on those country lanes. Keep up the great work!
Great wee car and handles a dream
I’ve literally just purchased one today and you’ve gave me confidence I’ve made the right choice😂. Thanks a million!
Hope you enjoy it!
Out of interest, what’s your feeling on the car 1 year on?
As always, great video, Tish! I’m upset that Ford pulled the plug on the Fiesta and Focus for the US, as the latest generation models are so much better than before. I mean who would’ve ever thought you could get a Bang & Olufsen audio system in a Fiesta?! I’ve driven the previous generation Fiesta with the 123hp 1.0 EcoBoost, and it was such a charming little engine. The heated front windshield is one of my favorite features on my Defender and Discovery. (JLR is pretty much the only manufacturer who offers a heated windshield in the US). The Sync 3 infotainment system in your tester is the same one that’s in my sister’s Escape, (Kuga) and it’s a fantastic system. Super simple to use, a ton of features, and it’s quick to respond. However, I have to agree with you that aesthetically, it’s a little bit generic. And also, the Desert Island Blue paint is 👌🏻. Keep up the great work!!
Wouldn't be too upset by the Focus the mk4 is awkwardly shaped as a hatchback and it's been declining in sales for years in Europe. I wouldn't give it long before it follows in the footsteps of the Mondeo and is assigned to history as more and more people switch to suvs. The Fiesta has also had it's own battle in sales against it's own sibling the puma which has become a big success for ford, alot of people say it looks better and fresher then the Fiesta
Sorry I upset you with my old man rant, that was not my intention. I watch a lot of car reviews and of late I have been fed up with reviews all ending the same. You got the brunt of my frustration, sorry. I have deleted my original rant as now I feel bad about how it came across. Good luck with your channel and I sincerely wish you all the best for the future.
Well thank you for apologising. It shows you’re a good person. No hard feelings.
Very nice review thank you, I am picking my ford fiesta st line edition x 140bhp 5 door in desert island blue this week, hoping I have made the right decision, this car is on a 20 plate.
Great car. I fell in love with it in a matter of minutes when i test drove one. Needless to say i ordered mine right after, now patiently waiting for delivery in the next couple of months!
Also Your accent is lovely ❤
They hard to fault aren’t they!! I hope you enjoy your new car!
Great video, Tish.
It's a shame that Desert Island Blue is no longer an option. It suits this spec more than the other colours.
I am not a fan of the dash, and, for me, it also lets down the Focus, and especially the Puma. I prefer the previous design, even if there are a lot more buttons. Though, the previous facelifted Focus got the larger screens that helped.
I am looking to change my 2009 Fiesta, but will probably go towards a facelifted version, rather than opt for a 2018 current model, or maybe a previous generation Focus with the bigger screen.
Desert blue is not an option anymore? Man, i should be lucky :-)
Hi Tish , excellente review of This Ford Fiesta ST-line Edition ! Love your comments, explications ans others... i like them différents views Inside of this car : seat driver , right ! when you change the gears ! congrats love that ! have great day
You didn’t mention the wet cam belt design fault , low mileage cars with full Ford history are having belt issues which block the oil pipe and starve the engine of oil and a replacement engine is needed at the price of £6000 which the customer has to pay for
They changed it to a chain driven in 2020, I wonder what percentage of them fail as it was the most popular engine for 10 years in the UK.
The diesel is no longer available since July 2020 according to The Daily Express Newspaper.
Rare cars
Lovely review! I have a Fiesta ST-Line X Edition 155bhp and feel spoiled :)
Not much about the Ecoboom effect caused by the oil wet belt.
Nice video Tish. Gee those Fiestas are getting expensive nowadays!
Thanks webby, the Vignale starts at £23,390 😅
@@AutoSocialUK wow, that’s expensive! We only get the 5 door ST here in Australia and it costs just under 40,000 dollars
Another quality video. The screen can only be changed via a diagnostic set up you can see a preview of all the options but it resets when you power down. I love my focus st in the same colour. Love th grill
Ahh so no way to long term change it? I’m looking forward to testing a focus soon!! Desert island isn’t available on them either anymore, right?
@@AutoSocialUK I honestly don't know about the paint and if so muuuuuuuhaaaa evil laugh. I think if you had connections in a Ford dealer ship they could change the screen permanently. You can pick the load up logo like ST, RS etc!
Love this car looks amazing in blue
Yeah, desert blue island kicks everything off :-)
A nicely balanced review, but performance & fuel consumption figures would be handy to have.....
Hey there. Keep up the great work. Love your videos, great quality. I know they are different segments but the fiesta st line x or the vw up gti?
Another great review. I love the colour but its a shame its not available, it really suits the style of the fiesta over the other colours. Sounds like there is a lot of road noise in it. Wonder how the full fat ST is like.
Thank you very much, the colour looks stunning doesn’t it. They do still have blues available but they’re now much lighter. Yes that is the road noice with the background noice reduced on the computer too!
@@AutoSocialUK the road noise is still very noticeable isn't it.
Just upgraded to the st-line x.superb cars 👌
Wow! Lucky you 😁
Haven't all cars come with heated windscreen as standard for years?
Fords yes - other brands it’s quite rare
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. I particularly like the Blue Paint Colour
Good little car but the VW Polo is a little more polished and a better all rounder. Great review btw.
Here in Oz the Fiesta now only comes as the gruntier ST. With 124 kW/t it's a fun thing. The grill could maybe turn that frown upside down.
Unfortunately I've just always found Ford Australia's warranty not worth the paper it's written on.
I just test drove one. Lovely to drive and very handleable, but I was being thrown about far too much and felt every bump in the road. Not for me!
Yes, certainly geared up for teenagers i think
ST X answers your few quibbles. Fiesta always walked all over the drab Polo as a drivers cars, as do all Fords when compare to understeering dull Vw models.
Stand still!
Great review! Looking to pick one up soon and I learnt a few things from this video :)
How exciting! Enjoy your new car!
Hi mate, just curious, being 2 years later, do you still have the car and how is/was it? I'm looking at getting one, any pros and cons to look out for?
@@andykelly7321 I’ve had a couple of them now. Great cars both the ST-Line & ST. Best value on the market
wonderful review :)
Thank you so much for watching!
P.s. I wouldn't call it a supermini anymore all small cars have grown up now to the size of a medium hatchback, early Focus size so if you do want a super mini I would avoid it. It's taller wider and longer than any supermini I ever owned. If you want a true super mini then you should go for a Toyota Aygo, Hyundai i10 or Peugeot 108. You can't even call the Polo a supermini anymore, that has also grown up and is wider and longer.
just bought red colour st line love the colour red sets the car off
Definitely 😁
I think it is the best looking car in its segment. For the rest it is up to you if you like it.
They're really good looking cars - I think just a little tarnished by how many of them they are!
I love your video’s but the sound goes down down from different sections of each
videos.
She always does that slow stroll as she's speaking 😅
Handing your keys to someone who has just passed their driving test ? ..... The way you were driving at 8:27 make you look like one of those people !!
It looks a bit strange, yes. But I think it's due to the angle of view and the fact that she's rather short.
You are busy ! A car that's not an ev.....looking good 👍
I really am 😅 I felt I needed to get some non EVs in there!
Love This!! My mum has this exact car and colour but as a 20 reg ST Line X , she loves it and it’s a great looking car!! Xx
Oh amazing! Great that she bagged one in desert island before they sold out! 😄
Same issue with seat comfort that I had. Also found car bit big and heavy compared to city cars usually have. Curious on discounts though, way too expensive.
They just feel a little low quality compared to the rest of the car don’t they. I did also read that on a PCP the fiesta costs more a month than the the Volkswagen Polo which surprised me. I might spec one on carwow and see!!
@@AutoSocialUK Having driven it you'll know if better screwed together. Too many dash rattles at 34 months old. Really not quality product.
im getting the 22 version which hasnt come out yet they have been changed this year as a new shape etc
Yes, I’m looking forward to getting my hands on one. I’m not sure on the design yet
I have a new one it's great.black sparkly paint
great video tish ,hows your vw up going hope your family is well
Thank you very much. The Up! Is having a holiday at the minute as I have had lots of press cars. Family is all well. Hope all is good for you too!
@@AutoSocialUK im glad your all well , im fantastic too im glad you had press cars i love test driving new cars too stay safe tish
Imo the ST is top of the range over the vin..
Not great, not terrible. But I like that color 💙
Have the same colour, and the car is just great! - and i had a MB SLK :-)
Miss Ford Car 😢
Nice car to drive, mother has a fiesta
I’d like you to review the new Audi A3 DSG if that’s possible.
I would love to too! No peep from Audi for cars unfortunately but I will see what I can do!
Is there a nearby Audi dealership? I know one in Harold Wood but that’s quite a distance.
Beautiful Car and Beautiful women
Thank you!
Hi there tish how are u doing Huns if I had the choice of the fiesta it would have to be the ST line Hun X 💕😘
Hi Chris, I’m well thank you. how are you? Thank you so much for watching 😁
Hi tish I am fine not bad Huns how's life treating you hows family and friends in general lol hope u are ok darling 💗💗 x X
Shame they don't seem to offer this colour anymore
I know! Ford are strange with their limited colours!
I’m surprised that Ford managed to extract a lot of horsepower from a small engine.
The 1.0 hybrid gets 155hp, Ford are very good at squeezing power from small engines!
It won’t last
So Макс, would you buy a Toyota or Honda over a Ford, cos Japanese cars may be more reliable than European ones?
@Denisu A natural aspirated engine such as what u would find in a Mazda for example is what u want. These are unnatural, very unreliable
Do they have an electronic speedometer
Or digital?
does ford 2020 stline has park assist?
No I do not believe it does. Unless it was added by the previous owner.
Ford Fiestas are the best 😁
I like the heated front windscreen, but like you Tish, I would still go for the Volkswagen Polo or Peugeot 208
Why do all chavs seem to like the Ford Fiesta ST line it's a police stop magnet. I'm sorry but the Fiesta falls short of design Flair that the French superminis have in abundance.. I mean check out those halogen yellowy crinkled fog lamps, no rear LEDs as standard on the ST LINE pre 2021, and the Ford basic alloys, not even a black option for alloys anymore, only bright silver ones or dull grey. The giant un- Sporty steering wheel for starters. At least the mark seven had some of these features. It looks more like a C-Max people carrier these days than a sporty hot hatch. The red piping on the interior of the st-line does not match the exterior sadly. Unfortunately it looks just like any other Fiesta mk8 in the lineup. For the same money you can buy a BMW 1 Series. It's definitely not worth the 20 grand ASKING Price Tag. You could buy a used mid-range Fiesta for around 5 grand that looks similar. 🙄
Nice rewiew, but its better choice bys focus st line for 22 00 eur like i 1.5 150 hp:)
you get an focus st for about 22.0000 in germany with more than 150 hp :-)
(but less comfort, of course :-) )
@@HJE1974 you dont understand i buy new focus 2019 St Line for these money, yo cant not buy new focus st for 22 000
@@ivanbiscan8486 Go for the Focus, its great!
Put on the clutch going round a corner tut tut
I know, I’ve been a nightmare for doing that for 10 years!!!!
The lady in the video is fit. If I was 20 years younger.?But £21000 for a 1.0 fiesta is rediculous. Buy a nearly new st instead.
hahah thank you for watching! I guess with PCP, very few people 'pay' that cash price for a new one
The only reason we buy an stline is because we can’t afford the st.
Personally think the Fiesta has aged so fast It looks dated against the competition, the up and coming facelift hasn't changed enough, I just feel it's time to move on from the Fiesta and Ford brings something new and fresh to the table, last I heard the Corsa was beating it in sales which shows it's time to move on.
True but I think like the Fiat 500, they think, if it's not broke then don't fix it?
@@AutoSocialUK I don't know the Fiat 500 is cheap and cheerful you dont expect much. The Fiesta isn't exactly a cheap car nowadays, and with some really good competition it needs to up its game, Vauxhall has built a better car then the Fiesta which is unheard of but its happened.
Hi I had a test drive in the new Corsa it looks amazing especially in the right colour but unfortunately it is one of the dullest cars to drive I don't expect a fun drive owned a Corolla for 15 years but it is boring maybe a more sporty one would be better but I want a softer ride like my Corolla.
"Leather-wrapped steering wheel" - you wish! It doesn't even deserve the name pleather. It feels and looks rubbery and foamy and will probably start to crumble after a few years. Together with the low-quality seats and the "ingenious" timing belt that runs within the oil circuit (and might crumble too), it is obvious that this car is not built for longevity.
By the way: In the beginning you say it's got 95 hp, then later you say it's got 99. And no, peak torque is not coming in at 6000 rpm, that's more like the number for peak power.
It looks miserable from the front why can't they have the grill up turned so it looks happy so when you see it it puts you in a good mood, who wants a car with the face on come on Ford we all need cheering up! especially at that price!
Great car, but I’ve no desire to change my St200 😝
Nope doesn't warrant any price tag at all , complete garbage , still using the ecoBOOM engines , still have the same problems , and ford head office still have the same appalling customer service. Imminent engine failure coming to a Ford near you very soon. Avoid , Avoid , Avoid!
The Fiesta is uncool except the ST.
They run out of paint .
A fee-es-taaah?
Has anyone told you your absolutely gorgeous
I see these cars everywhere, so they’re seriously uncool.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good car, but many people have these, and they’re not for car enthusiasts.
Yer they’re everywhere but there is good reason they’re so popular!
@@AutoSocialUK try telling the petrol-head owner of an ST3 that his car is common and 'uncool' and you'll reveal your automotive snobbery.
First
You’re second this time.
Sorry, better luck next time. :)
@@DaveDVideoMaker awww
I was second:(
Always next time 😁
There 'are' a lot, not there 'is' a lot. Can no-one use simple English correctly anymore?
