Default Re: Fiesta ST (3-door) is coming! Australian Media Coverage (Links)

Just drove ours.

Best. Ford. Ever

Ok so I've owned the last of the manual Polo GTI's, it was a 1.8L turbo with an APR flash tune, great car.

What did I think of the Fiesta ST?

I first jumped in, sat in the seats and thought pretty much this looks like a normal fiesta, the seats are similar fit to the Focus ST, quite tight. But they are like that for a reason. The wheel is nice and chunky. I was wondering, is this too small for me?

Put it in first, great box, short and easy to change. Very nice.

Take off. Brilliant exhaust note, everyone is going to love it. Power is awesome from the 1.6 turbo, what's this? A small but quite noticable dose from the turbo, it makes me smile. Power doesn't stop, it wants you to spank it.

Here comes a corner, this thing is on rails, seriously. I seek more corners.

Time to take it back. I am sad.

Verdict. One of the best Ford's I've ever driven in my 11 years working for them. Was it too small? I don't care its too damn good.

9/10
