2018 Ford Fiesta ST first drive review

The previous Ford Fiesta ST was one of the best hot hatches money could buy, making the new version a very highly anticipated car indeed. Question is, have Ford’s engineers weaved their magic well enough for the new ST to be a worthy successor?

He’s right it is “Really, really good!” It’s got the perfect amount of punch for British B roads! Handles brilliantly and cheap to run 👊

[@swanblake]

I like the wording you chose of "mosquito" handling. Very well put. Great review. So happy they are offering a mechanical LSD on this.

The wife picked hers up yesterday and it is better than her 2016 and feels much quicker across the range. Gonna give it a go myself later today. Looking forward to it.....

[@danielleroux6490]

Everyone, please call or write Ford U.S. and tell them we need this all-new Fiesta and the Focus to return to the American market. Don't let them cancel these wonderful hatchbacks in the U.S. Join me in this effort, thank you!

Here in the US, the ST is now history..........and I am happy I grabbed one before they vanish from the new car lots......

[@StanLibuda23]

What a great car! 👍💪

[@MrScooterguy101]

Low key pissed it isn't in the US

[@800Viffer]

Not sure I like the look of the 3 door version. Looks 'too much' door for me. A neighbour has a latest shape 5 door and it looks nice.

[@king0vdarkness]

should I get one with 70k+ miles on it?

[@gregoryboatswain1605]

Holy shit. That's a lot of miles for a car that only came out about 6 years ago. Unless you mean the old version?

[@king0vdarkness]

@@gregoryboatswain1605lol luckily I chose another car...

[@Gkoulidis]

The back looks like a van

[@Formulozza1]

Good car, but looking that ugly I wouldn't own one. Looks crap from the rear. Needs a proper diffuser and spoiler.

[@bernardandries]

U can buy one and put a big ass diffuser on it and a big ass wing😉

[@rodneyhull9764]

OMFG a car

[@bingoberra18]

First

[@VehicleValhalla]

bingoberra18 we don't wanna know what gear you're in😃

[@MOSSFEEN]

3 cylinder engine = sporty OAP car

[@lucacorso_audiosystem]

3 cilindri.. 1 cilindro on demand .. FAP Start e stop.. suono dalle casse .. Buuuuuuu

[@holotropik]

Don't think I could ever buy a 3cyl car. Just couldn't do it.

[@01JENNERS]

holotropik what difference does it make - seriously

[@fluffymat1]

Sam Jenner well tuning capability and engine longevity

[@grantorino9049]

+ better Sound any 4 Cyl could ever deliver.

[@chirpywiggins5796]

Then you’re missing out because this car is fantastic to drive.

[@bennyburke3965]

The new Fiesta looks to feminine. Even this ST version.
