Since I was a teenager, and thats a long time ago, the Fiesta has always had a soft spot in my heart and now, as an older generation driver, I can still enjoy and fully appreciate the new version, the Fiesta ST.
The latest generation of Fiesta ST's had a tough act to follow compared to its predecessor. However, despite using a smaller three-cylinder engine, it has proved to be more than up to the task. Given the standard of the package already, it’s only a light update, with styling changes including a revised front end, some new Ford Performance seats, and lots more in-car technology, included in the price, to round things off.
The Fiesta ST gets a turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine which is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. It gets ST sports suspension with a Quaife Limited Slip differential, launch control and comes in a front wheel drive option only. Power remains the same as before at 197bhp which makes getting to 60mph just 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 143mph. It’s not too bad on fuel either, as the three cylinder can shut down to two cylinders on a run achieving 42.2mpg.
The Fiesta ST might have increased in price over the years, but once you get in the driving seat you’ll quickly realise it’s worth every penny. The smiles and laughs per minute alone are worth the £26,000 asking price. The fun this hot hatch offers, combined with its reasonable running costs and decent equipment levels means there’s very little not to like about this cracking little hot hatch.
