this video makes me miss my fiesta ST. I didn't sell it or anything, it's just been like 6 hours since I've driven it.

8:52 that synchronized laugh though.

For a long time my wife didn't really "get" cars. They were practical tools. A-to-B conveyances that served a necessary function. She knew how to drive a stick, but only because I insisted she learn; she'd never owned a manual. Then she discovered rally and rallycross, and through the Head Hoonigan Himself, the Fiesta ST. Two months ago she bought one, Molten Orange and three pedals. A month in, she was asking me to teach her how to heel-toe. Now she's talking about solid motor mounts and suspension tweaks and dropping hints that she wants an Accessport v3 for Christmas, and she and one of her girlfriends (I've no idea whose idea it was) are talking about saving up and doing a weekend at Dirtfish next summer. THAT is what this car does to people.

This is one of those videos that the owner is actually a knowledgeable guy and isnt awkward lol

"Jesus, it's like 6,000 rpm through here. Is that okay?" -Matt "Yeah, she likes it." *Grins*

The Intake sounds like someone finishing off a Milkshake with a Straw.

8:53 EXACTLY THE SAME LAUGH. LMAO!!! It must be the Fiesta laugh!

To people that don't know, the 2J racing intake sits in the cowl of the car which is why it is so loud inside the cabin. The intake is pretty much up against the glove box

That synchro laugh at 8:53 almost made me spit out my lunch lmao

First time hearing someone with a laugh identical to Matt's.

Sounds like an airplane toilet when he gets on the gas 😂😂😂

This is a great example of what One Takes are. Showcasing a tuned car, talking about it, and having a lot of fun.

This is honestly one of the greatest builds I have ever seen. Has to be top 5. That thing just looks like the best daily driver. This Fiesta ST just looks like it would be the most fun thing to drive and just hammer on it all the time. :D Love how it sounds too, kinda cool & prettyy loudd.

God I love crazy ass turbo noises, this shit's crazy. I have a feeling that this one's noises are amplified by the way the mic is positioned, but goddamn it's great.

These two are like peas in a pod, great video.

Dude ford should give you a free FIST! I too went and bought a FIST after watching your onetake I literally walked in to the dealership the same day. Love my FIST

0:33 - he couldn't find a better time to take that piss... :))

Ford has really stepped it up!!! You can make amazing power for so little cost.

Sounds like the blender my wife uses for her smoothies..

Sounds like my nephew on his sippie cup.

Put a smile on my face today seeing more vids about the Fiesta. I also bought my FiST because of this channel. I do not regret that purchase one bit.

YES, I have been waiting for you to do a big turbo Fiesta ST! You're the best!!!!!

The Fiesta lives up to it's name.... its literally a party on wheels. Even in stock trim.

This might be my favorite TST yet, you can tell how hyped Matt is to drive this thing

this is the first one take i've watched completely through. by far one of the best videos i think you've put out, and one of the neatest cars you've done.

Sounds like it's on a ventilator. Love the Fiesta ST...so much fun for so little $.

That exhaust on throttle let off and fly by, sounds freakin' perfect. Definitely doesn't sound as small displacement as it is.

That part-throttle surge makes me wince. Holy hell, man.

those tiny hatches look so fun

it's cool to see people really getting these fiestas out there with their potential, I've got a mk1 fiesta and was looking at maybe getting an st engine to the likes of what's in that fiesta you drove. just something different yet, original.

I haven't seen/heard any car sounding more like a vacuum cleaner that this. one of my fav cars, it doesn't understeer instead it drifts, its small and you can enjoy it in the traffic.

I can only wonder how this car must feel like driving. The video, with no fault to you Matt, conveys no feeling of the acceleration it must have. That car must be an absolute monster!

Every auto journalist mentioned that stiff Focus RS ride back in Spain. They mentioned how harsh it was on silky smooth Spanish roads, in comfort mode. So you're right Matt, Ford made it way to harsh. And I guess that is why many sell it after a short while, as you did. It gets tiresome really fast.

Watching this video made me feel like I was at the dentist

I bought my FiST because of Matt's reviews as well! Absolutely love it. Most fun car I have ever owned.

Those turbo whistles and intake noises are so cool!

so there really is not a single negative review about this car? damn i need to get one asap xd

Ford is doing the best of any companies in the Hot hatchback segment, The Fiesta and Focus rs look and perform really great.

Two men in a bromance enjoying a spirited "Fisty" love your work Mr Farah!

That really is a great looking/sounding Fiesta. Props!

Man i hate the sound of that car. Not even the fast and furious movies went that far. Other than that: Ford really nailed the Fieste ST. I think i would prefer more torque over high hp, but i had issues trying to figure how well this one worked at low rpm, because of the noises that kept me from listening to the engine. I like that the non-engine related stuff was okay. good brakes and some suspension work. Kudos for that :)

that sound would do my head in! so pants!

When I see these videos, can't hold back the slowly growing smile with at the sounds

Very nicely produced, esp. the picture-in-picture. Thanks!

Car is going to need all those hp with those 2 elephants in the car!

really miss my fiesta St

STs are so fun to drive. Even a stock focus st is decently quick

I'm 68 years old and have had a lot of tricked out sure Rocco's and capris and 9 Motorcycle, and by far my ST puts the biggest smile on my face every time I press that sport mode button, I go through tires like Bubblegum.

Big guys in a little ford.

Those fog lights turned on add up to 20bhp. Keep them on, always.

These little cars are awesome!

I'm really liking the exhaust note in the drive by shots.

5:15 Owner nervously laughs as Matt jokes about being unskilled to be "crashing his car" in a video game- good job Matt

I was considering the 2J intake as it's the only CAI that actually pulls in colder air than stock, but it'd drive me crazy as a DD.

Spectacular video I enjoyed those sounds every second

The sound the Fiesta st makes when the turbo is spooling up is so intoxicating!

Nicely done... A true hot hatch. For me ruined by the open wastegate though... This car is legit and doesn't need the wank!

I'm in the market for a FoST or a FiST. This video just sold me on the FiST

the more I watch that 8.52 the more it cracks me up.. We need it gif'd with sound!

It was just fun to see how much Steve loves his car!

I love my little brother Fiesta! Like this if you are a focus or fiesta st owner

Great FiST! Great review! I have the ST200. Also barely no torque steer. The suspension is stiffer and slightly lower than a regular ST.

Wow i love the way those shifts sound

I like that your moobs bounce in synchronicity

That sound is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

hey matt, when is the video about rev matching going to come out? thank you

I'm old school and the words "Fiesta" and "Canyon Run" don't even seem possible. But here we are in 2016. I could do w/o some of the noise, but kudos to the owner for configuring a car that's super fun for him (and Matt) to drive.

Damn this baby was rollin! I wanna see some track footage of it!

The power to waist ratio is off the charts...

@thesmokingtire Please cut 8:49-8:56 and make that a separate clip. lol! Twinsies! "Your car is awesome" "No, YOUR car is awesome" *lol lol lol lol lol*chuckle chuckle chuckle*

This dude is hilarious. Obviously love cars and likes a good time

I had a 270fwhp Eclipse GST and thought that was too much to street. This things next level haha. Love it.

IS the BOV playing thru the speakers??

Light, FWD, and no torque steer, I think this could compete with a Civic Type R.

Appreciate Matts honesty on how the Fiesta is the better bang for buck over the RS! usually has a bias but was genuine in this case

Steven probably one of the better car owners you've had on. Should consider him if you ever want a co host. That puppy analogy

You sure got a RS pretty quick there, Matt. Are you still trying to get a Shelby?

Matt, do you think Ford will ever do a low production run of a Fiesta RS with some aggressive rally styling and AWD?

I bought a Fiesta ST in cash solely down to matt's word and enthusiasm about the car, just recently got rid of it for an audi b7 rs4, and even driving that I'm still a little heartbroken from getting rid of the ST. Love your ST and your ST will love you back!

Your review is what made me get a fiesta st with Cobb stage3 too

0:25 Is he pissing?

Are those Sparco Assetto Gara wheels?

Hey, same turbo I have for the Miata! Great turbo. I know for OEM they use tiny little things, but for an aftermarket turbo setup the spool up on a motor about this size with the 2560R really is great.

Really great video. Enjoyed the car alot and you guys had great rapport. Nice one!

I don't know much about the technical aspect of cars but it sounds like the car will break down...

Hey Matt, any chance of seeing the alfa romeo giulia quadrifoglio?

Spot on with those Recaro's Matt. Took me around 3K before I didn't feel like some one was kneeing me in the kidneys.

I want one!! This thing is sick!! Cool video keep them coming!!

the car sounds like it's continuously hocking a lougie

Sounds like the bottom is scraping every time he accelerates. I guess some like that noise, but to me its just annoying.

Such a fun little car. Makes me miss mine!

8:53 Happiness in stereo, lol! Looks like a really fun car too.

All that power and money in a FF. I don't get it. I don't hate it, i just don't understand why not use an FR car.

Now that is a hot hatch. FWD...who cares this thing is a riot. All the "FWD sucks" purists...bleh. Also, yes the induction noise is loud...but the mic is about 6 inches away from it...so there ya go.

think this is my favourite fiesta, really want mine like this !

It seems that people hate the turbo noises. I really love the sound - maybe a bit much for the daily - but as a canyon carver it is perfect!

So what cars does everyone drive in here?

"Peak power is at about 7500, you want to shift it at 7200" right..... Makes perfect sense

The FIST is the best hot hatch to hit the market in a long time, love these cars!

Second watch of this video and had even more fun. This owner is a riot.
