This is the all-new Ford Fiesta ST. It certainly packs a punch when it comes to performance, but do you think Ford is offering the complete package with the latest edition of the ST? Watch my latest review to find out how it drives, what I make of the updating styling, along with any other bits that you need to know!

Best bang for the buck performance car EVER, my 2019 ST was 19580 USD out the door. Ride on the standard 205R40-17 tire and rims was poor, which is why those are now in the loft of my garage. Now my ST rides on 205R50-16 tires and rims. Cost me about 1000 USD but the improvement in ride was tremendous and it will pay for itself within 3 hard pothole strikes because what will bust a 40 series wheel won't harm a 50 series. BTW, live in the metro Detroit area and suspect that roads in England are glass in comparison to what is called "paving" in Michigan.

I've been in these a couple of times already. I really like the recaro seats and thick steering wheel though. I think the steering wheel is the same as any regular fiesta st-line. When you put the seat all the way down, forward and pull the steering wheel towards you, you pretty much feel like a pro racer instantly.

He's an idiot, the Polo doesn't even come close to the Fiesta. Nah, just joking, he's not an idiot, he's just being paid by VW to lie about the Polo being awesome, while we all know the Polo is shit and the Fiesta is still the Class standard from every point of view. Matt does not have a soul anymore, he sold it to the VW Beelzebub.

Worse, literally if they set out to make it worse than the amazing previous model, they couldn’t have done a bigger hatchet job. I just wish Ford would wake up and stop using the same cheapo interior in all their models. If you pay 10k more, why has it got almost all of the same cheap, low end plastic. How about some actual leather, wood and metal, you know, actual materials and not reprocessed oil and stray dogs. The so called leather steering wheel is a joke, sooo thin that it peels off like a Nuke victim’s skin ffs🤣🤣🤣

I'm with you older Mat. After longing for a Fiesta ST for over a year & then taking an extended test drive I found the same thing with the suspension in the now superseded model, ie, too harsh for the day to day on Oz's crap roads. The Clio RS200's suspension was far more compliant and cushioning, so I bought it and have not regretted it at all.

And Performance package included. I hope I'm going to have another four great years with this one. Yes, based on photos mk7 looks better but the interior isn't on the same level though. But I want a new car so mk8 feels like perfect upgrade.

That’s sounds awesome I hope you have fun with your new ST . I live in the USA (moved ) but every one of my family is still is Poland or Germany and whenever I visit them I envy the good roads . USA roads are 3rd world and barely drivable unless you have a suv or pickup truck . A majority of Americans are buying suvs now , hence Ford discontinued the fiesta , focus and fusion ! Wtf ford made a big mistake because for the next couple years the other competition will still be making cars . I can’t even get access to some fords that Europeans get . Same way Germany companies make products available in the USA but not in Germany . I can get a manual transmission M5 in the US but not in Germany . Should be the other way around if anything .

It's not "better" it's more of people like how agressive and cool it looks, but that doesn't mean it's better all around.

Fadic4 I don’t think so . The Ford Fusion sold really well and the only midsize that sold better was the Toyota Camry due to fleet sales . They still discontinued it for some reason, I’m guessing ford assumes suvs are the future now so everyone will start buying a crossover or suv within the next decade .

@@plotdot6920 It's partially because of how incredobly well their trucks have been selling, and the other reason is because the new CEO keeps fucking up their company by making bad decisions. Ford as a car company and producer of great cars and iconiccool cars is awesome, but the decisions they make their and things they run are a bit lacking and has much to be desired. Hope that they get rid of the new CEO and hire better people or atleast bring back the line up of hatchbaxks and sedans...

Kevin Fortin True , they are giving up half a million sales of cars because they think everyone wants a suv . The ceo is a dumbass because there is a reason the people are buying cars , more mpg and less space and typically less expensive . Watch what happens when a oil crisis or economy goes down or something like that . Everyone will be buying cars with 40 mpg and ford will be fucked . The ceo has to have a 50 IQ aswell , because if ford is giving up half a million sales early , I can promise you they are not switching to suvs , it’s not even guaranteed they will switch to a ford suv , now think about all the people that don’t wnat a SUV period . They will go buy other cars from other companies ...

For sure the new one is better. Only mimimi complains o.O the sound is not fake, it just the REAL Sound brought from outside to inside by speakers. The car is quite Loud from outside (about 100db, i30N is 109db in Comparison) Stearing changes with drive modes. On sport and track its more like wrc stearing.
