I think its funny when ppl bash the Ecoboost Stang for being a 4 cylinder when it makes the same power as a GT from just 5 years ago. It would destroy a lot of Mustang enthusiast's prior models.

I love that it says ground speed, as the style of the original 60's muscle cars was inspired by the new jets of the time, and that is an homage to that.

New Fiesta ST owner here, and I can't get over how fun it is... while also being an excellent city daily driver, and being relatively dirty cheap. It's almost perfect (for me) :)

LOL he called the WRX a Toyota corolla with a hood scoop.

I've watched a ton of car reviews on a ton of different testers and I've never seen any car get as much "smiles" and "laughs" than the Fiesta ST. It's truly incredible to keep watching every tester and reviewer and they all say how much the Fiesta ST just makes them smile. I really want to try it.

"Let's test cars in the $25,000-30,000 price range." Gets in $38,000 Mustang. What a great comparison, guys.

WRX hands down for best balance of performance, every day driver, safety, versatility, all wheel drive, reliability, resale value, fun to drive, and tuning options.

FRS body, WRX engine, and mustang interior would be a perfect make.

i have a 17 ecoboost and i absolutely love it. If anyone is considering a mustang 8 or 4 just know that although the gt has much more power, the boost is still crazy fun to drive and is pretty much faster than 80% of cars on the road

Never would I have ever guessed that someone would say that an American car has the best interior in any comparison. It's a new day lol

I absolutely love how you guys go back and forth between the cars so the consumer can eventually narrow it down. great lengthy review. I dig it.

This is the first time I've seen these guys and I'm very impressed. They are smart and communicate their thoughts and feelings very, very well. I'll be looking for more of their work Excellent work.

I'm too poor to watch this video.

Just want to say I really enjoy your videos. Especially while going through Top Gear withdrawal, as I'm sure we all are, it's great to have stuff like this. You guys are straightforward, honest, unbiased, and legitimately enthusiastic about cars. It's a breath of fresh from all the BS and trolling out there.

"When you get on this car, I mean you really spank it hard, it scampers. I mean this car gets with it."

I love your reviews. You guys give such a great in depth analysis. You don't get silly with editing and keep it on point. I have had my 2015 Subaru WRX for 1 year now. I have 34k miles on it. I commute 100 miles a day and it's a wonderful DD, even with some upgrades. Even after all the driving I do, I'm still always finding excuses to go out and drive it more.

Brilliant review, as usual! Your WRX vs. BRZ sold me on a WRX last year and I couldn't be happier.

and somewhere the Civic Si cries a tear of loneliness for not even getting mentioned...

@19:16 When he said he's been against FWD cars for the longest.... I used to be the same. Until I purchased a Fiesta ST. It is so fun. I have a 15 WRX also. I feel like the FiST is more fun honstely. Both great cars. Awesome video guys! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

I wonder why Subura hasn't green lit a BRZ STI yet. Seems like it would be such a good fit.

This is one of your best reviews I can remember. Your thoughtfulness and multifacited approach, always good, shines here. What do you thing the performance pack would have adden or subtracted, besides money obviously we would option it downscale.

Great review and simply love the editing. I'm not a Mustang guy but I love the look and Ecoboost engine. Living in the wet coast, the WRX would be my choice - also practical with 2 car seats in the back. Keep up the great work!!

Everytime I get into a 2015 Mustang I am just absolutely blown away by the amount of space the driver has. The legroom, shoulder room, and even headroom is immense, and thats coming from a guy who is 6'3" 260lbs. My biggest gripe though is I find the hood to be way to high and I find my self not really being able to place the front end where I want it to be because I cant see past the freaking hood. EverydayDriver Great feature length video as always! Your new lineup and schedule is awesome.

Fantastic review! You guys really do an amazing job talking about all aspects of the cars you review--the engine, suspension, weight, back roads versus daily driving, shift and clutch quality, interior, what it would be like to own, etc. So many reviewers just talk about a car on track. Thank you for truly being for the everyday car enthusiast who only has money to purchase one car.

Everyday driver I like to say your review/comparison of all these cars are right on the money great review keep up the great work!

YES! Just what I needed! Can you guys do a direct Fiesta ST and Focus ST comparo? I feel like a lot of people struggle (myself included) on which ST brother is better when considering all aspects of ownership

You guys are incredible reviewers! Love the detailed deliverance you guys bring with each video. Very entertaining and witty at times.

5:04 The speedometer says "Ground Speed" cause the car's name is based off of a P-51 Mustang jet. So yes, in a stupid sense, it is an airplane.

I own a Fiesta St and this new Ecoboost engine is the best ford ever made very reliable

When you drive the wrx you can feel your heart pumping blood hard.

Thanks for the video. My 2017 Mustang Ecoboost premium is my daily driver. Since I bought it used I saved thousands of dollars. I love the looks and comfort. It has plenty of power for me and I really like the size of the car.

I test drove the fiesta se. And bought it... 13,700. I love it. So fast handling excellent around corners...

Good review like how todd reviews. I would do the same ranking, but for me I would take the BRZ. For me it is better value than the FR-S based on interior and exterior just my preference.

Diehard Mustang fan but I'm going to buy the Fiesta ST or the FRS next year. Much more affordable, cheaper insurance, better gas mileage, more fun that's more easily attainable. To be honest as well, I think owning a Mustang would ruin it for me just because I expect so much from it. I love the turbo punch from the Fiesta and it's practicality, but it still looks like an econobox in many ways. The FRS follows the "looks follows form" philosophy. It looks good, and it is good. The analog sensation of the FRS is what makes me so attracted to it. Plus the Japanese engineering always seems to find ways to surprise me. Throw a turbo kit on the FRS and you will never look back! Anyway you look at it, these are all great cars, in a great time for the automotive world.

Thank you for this video, I have been asking people for a comparison like this for a while and maybe I just didn't look or something but hey you guys did it and that's all that counts. Awesome!!

I love your videos guys, always speaking the truth ...i used to have a limited BRZ but i was always missing that 40 HP to make it perfect. now i rock Fiesta ST and i love that toy car. It doesnt take it self seriously and performs much better as a daily driver then the 86 ever did ( yes i understand the torque steer is there and seat position is a bit too high) but over all this car puts a smile on my face every day and i think that is what matters.

17:00 his face says it all. the fiesta is the most fun to drive. he went for serious technical analysis to smiling silly in one cut.

im a proud owner of a fiesta st. its an amazing car for the money and already has a decent aftermarket. its cool to know i purchased a car that is compared to great cars such as the frs and wrx :)

The Fiesta ST Was what it took to get me out of the RWD forever mindset. Once you drive one of these cars and take it around some corners fast it is just amazing the amount of performance you can ring out of the Fiesta ST. I have had several cars that where orders of magnitude faster. The fiesta is just as much fun in the corners as any of them and I love how easily and predictably the tail comes around without any fear of overextending ones talent. Its just plain fun and 35mpg on the highway and room for the family too.

I like how you look at performance as well as daily driving. A fair review of four competing yet different cars. Great job!

I picked up a 2015 mustang ecoboost premium 6spd w/8k on the odometer 2 months ago. Mint....for a work car. I paid 22k. I never buy brand new because of that crazy 1st year depreciation. The car is extremely nice and not a watered down exterior of the 5.0. So I got the look of the 5.0 w/o a couple little hood vents and some simple grill work and chin piece, same interior, cheaper insurance, getting 38 mpg on the highway in wet/snow drive mode, and a boatload of performance upgrades that have made it night and day from the "quick" car it started out, including some Ferrada 20" wheels/tires. So I have a completely unique car as compared to a stock 5.0 My days of shaving tenths off in the quarter are over and I got a Z06 if I need to go THAT fast. But this car is so nice that I'm going to give up on it being a daily driver. All this rambling, only to say its a great car and highly recommend. I'm an old svo guy, so it was cool to go back to that niche market.

I do love my Fiesta ST! But all cars are great too!

Love it. Keep these long reviews coming. You guys will be at full episodes soon!

I must say the ford Fiesta has come a long way i remember my best friends first car was a 1987 model but was fun and quick brings back memories

purchased a 2019 fiesta st brand new, have never looked back, put $15k in the car mostly custom fab mods, and he purrs like a cat every single time. Definitely the best thing I have ever done with my money. One of the most underappreciated cars in the scene in the US

Very well edited.

My dad just bought a focus ST. they car is freaking awesome. it handles like a boxster!!!

I'm surprised how far the production quality has come. This is top notch stuff. Been a sub since the hundreds.

Fiesta ST x New Miata maybe be the future of fun for buck enthusiastic car right?

3 years later and here I am wasting time between studying watching one of my favorite old episodes. How about a refreshed version? Greatest hits 2.0 since we lost the fiesta st here in the states and a few years have passed with some more intruders (LOOKING AT YOU VELOSTER N). I personally am about halfway done racking up miles on my 2017 86 and something doesn’t sit well with just buying a new version of the same old car ... I would have any of those above... except the mustang it would just cause me to have to explain myself too much too often to people who know nothing about cars. Wait..... I’m already doing that with the 86 🤣

great work guys!!! i watch a lot of car shows just ran in to you guys, and i really love how harsh and real you guys are!! unbiased and full of passion! i just bought a Abarth yesterday over a fiesta but i think for the money i got the better car... 2013 with only 2k miles for 15k great buy and so excited:)

Best one yet. Love it. Amazing work guys.

Why do i feel like Ford's CEO is pointing a gun at them behind the camera?

There is just a coolness factor the Mustang has that the others do not. Mustang even with a turbo is still just plain cool.

Sir! Thank you so much! Great video! Ive been a fan for a long time

Really enjoy your videos. This comparo was GREAT and full of subjective info that most reviews miss! (I have the 15 GT with the Performance Pack and love it). What a car.

Compare a $25k Mustang to the others, not the $40k version. Ford was developing a DOHC turbo four in the SVO back in the 80's, but killed it because it was becoming faster than the V8 mustang (and that's just un-'murican). Makes you wonder what the Mustang could be today if they had pursued it.

Fiesta ST! Fun!!!!!!

Great review. I've had the Ecoboost for about 7 months now and I absolutely love it. I'm assuming that the price of the tested model factored a lot into that 4th place rating, and I agree completely. Anyone paying 38k for this car is out of their mind. I paid 30k for mine. If 38k were in my range you can bet I'd be looking at the GTs.

OMG! It's a blessing that I found this channel.

Ecoboost stang all day with 6 speed!

You guys lost some credibility for not understanding why the Mustang's speedo says ground speed. The Mustang is named after the fighter plane, the P-51 Mustang. So yes, we are flying. It adds some more character to the car.

just found your channel with the focus rs and now this one. great channel! subscribed!

Always nice reviews. I bought a FRS (because of a Chris Harris review...) and i'm very happy with it. It's true that the engine is not so great and that it's not a highway car. But it's conformatable enough to be a everyday car (to go to work) and to put a big smile on you on every corner. Roundabouts will be the higlight of your day.

wrx is still king for sport and practicality

got a BRZ few weeks ago and im loving it!

You guys make it so easy to decide which car is right to buy for your intended purpose. Always great detailed reviews.

More comparisons like this please! This is what originally introduced me to your content.

Paul hit it right on the money. The only reason why I am considering a Mustang is because of the ecoboost. V8s are nice and dandy, but I have no need for one.

i own the FRS and i love it :)

Guys, simply, thanks for doing this comparison. I am currently in the market for a newer car getting out of a Nissan V35 and these are exactly on the list including the Focus ST. Keep up the good work.

I LOVE that you did them all in manual,

IVE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE THE WRX LOOKS LIKE A COROLLA WITH A HOOD SCOOP SINCE IT CAME OUT!!! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES!!! but I'm totally gonna buy a 2013 wrx though... those are bae.

Crazy to put the Mustang with this group- it's a completely different buyer altogether. But, it does provide the angst for comparison. If you are considering any Mustang- you are NOT looking at the ST vehicles- for LOTS of reasons. But, if you are considering any ST- new, or, used- the WRX is also in the mix. The Toyobaru is a more selfish purchase, and, although a good dancer, doesn't offer much 'more' for tuning prospects- without another motor being fitted. Since most people get 1 car, it's gonna have to do many things over time. Leaving the WRX & ST's as most viable for different reasons. Personally, I'm so impressed with the Fiesta ST- it wins hands down for all of MY individual reasons: kids, commuter MPG, grocery hauler, dump runs, tunable (large & growing product line) & requires the least initial modification to 'just right'. Right now they can be had for $17 grand with 20k miles- in all colors & options desired- off lease. Not bad depreciation, but, better than $25-26 large brand new. Just one man's opinion, I suggest you make your own! Great video.

Excellent review as always, guys. I always look forward to new videos from you. For me I'd have to go with the WRX for its usability and all weather capability. I currently drive an S2000 every day and while I love playing racecar every time I drive it, you learn to really miss practical things like back seats, a quiet cabin or maybe even just one damn cupholder...

just started watching these two and i am on my third hour they are fun to watch and very knowledgeable

I've either owned or driven every car in this episode. I'd definitely take the frs. It fits my driving style better. I am very aggressive in turns and the frs just feeds you all the info you need to know through the steering wheel. Also for a person like me that loves to drift I can say even in stock form it is amazing! Transitions effortlessly, hand brake works perfect, has just enough grip to keep control but not so much that it straightens out if you don't stay full throttle. I wish I still had mine but I'll just build a 240sx or sc300 when I have the extra cash.

In terms of stock performance, accessibility, and just plain fun, I think the Fiesta ST cinches it, just because of that early turbo punch. I think the BRZ/FR-S is the better car though, because it's just so modular. You can drift it like a hooligan anywhere without breaking the speed limit, you can learn to drive in it, and if you're a good enough driver to handle more power, the chassis is already perfect for it. It's long, low, and aerodynamic, so it can put down every bit as much power as any RWD supercar. It's light. It's got a solid Subaru engine under the bonnet, so it can handle plenty of forced induction (dyno stress testing concluded that the power limit of the stock cylinders is exactly 412.5 hp). It's got all the ingredients of a supercar killer. I used to think that the BRZ was unnecessary in a world where you could buy a used S2000, but I was wrong. The capabilities of this chassis far outweigh those of any other chassis ever made that's not hundreds of thousands of dollars more expensive. I cannot think of a single car that's as large on its wheels as this one, AND weighs less, AND has a smaller drag area, AND is built to modern standards of safety and solidity. It doesn't exist. And if it does, it's an exotic, foreign hypercar.

Nice video, guys. Very informative and great shots. Keep up the great work.

Great upload! Love longer videos.

I'd put the Genesis coupe over the FRS any day 35 minute video, awesome!! Thanks for the upload guys

WRX >

I like you guys style. I have watched a few vids now, and it took some warming up to, yall review stuff very different than I am used to, but its good. At this point I feel like you guys set the bar. Congrats!

Amazing review. This is def one of your top videos.

i wouldn't say the WRX is a sleeper... I constantly get rev'd at in traffic or camaros want to "ricer flyby" me on the freeway.. it draws some attention that I particularly don't want a lot of the time which is why I went with it as my DD. Also that's a premium wrx which starts at 28K.. and you're comparing it to a 38K mustang and talking about interior quality, you might as well have gotten the 2015 STI and compared it to the EcoBoost 'stang at that price.. and I just realized all the other cars are in silver/grey while they mustang is red.. I'm sure that wasn't planned..

Funny how resale value never gets brought up.

really enjoyed this review keep up the good worrk

Y'all are so damn good. Oh, and the music was great. Can't wait to see the next one!

I nearly fell out of my chair when you said that going from the WRX to the FR-S made you wish for the WRX's turbo in the FR-S. I was trying to decide whether to buy the last 2015 BRZ on my local Subaru dealer's lot, when the salesperson decided to stir the pot and threw me the keys to a 2016 WRX. The result was probably not what he intended, as each car ruined it for the other. The BRZ's swoopy styling, precise shifter, light steering, and precise handling made the Imprezza-with-a-body-kit styling, rubbery shifter, heavy steering and loose handling of the WRX hard to take. However, the WRX's power, versatility and value made buying the BRZ look like a bad move. So I left without buying either... and bought the 2016 MX-5, instead.

FUUUINNNN FIESTA ST! ST!!!

Always great watching your videos!

I really enjoy your vids they are informative easy to relate to and most of all entertaining keep up the good work guys

WRX for ME

The Fiesta St looks so weird in a 4 door

Great review! Thank you. I have 12 thousand miles on my 2014 FRS, supercharged, and daily drive it with no issues. I'm a sports car enthusiast, so it fits the bill for me.

This was really in-depth and a lot of fun to watch as usual guys. Makes me wonder though how long it took for you guys to shoot so many test drives?

The upcoming Ford Focus RS will have the same engine at 300HP and AWD, it will spank all of these cars featured here.

0:36 "This is the first 4 cylinder mustang since that SVO they made in the eighties" Really guys? Really? The last year of the SVO was 1986. Ford made 4 cylinder Mustangs in 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993.

Thank you for mentioning that the Ecoboost Mustang has an odd clutch. I was going crazy at the Ecoboost challenge trying to creep with this and the new 2015 Focus ST.

Looks like you guys were up on Lake Hughes Road for some of the filming. Love that road.
