James: The average power of a car today is 230 hp Me from Austria: *chokes on my beer*

[@CamaroAmx]

Tschimbo 12 makes me realize that of my 3 vehicles, only one was rated above 230hp from the factory, the one that’s 27 years old (my 93 Z28- rated at 275hp to the crank but in actuality makes 268hp to the wheels which is around 310hp at the crank. They under rated it as not to step on the corvette’s toes). My 23 year old Jeep was rated at 180hp and my 47 year old muscle car was only rated at 170hp (of course they were lying when 2 years prior it made 230hp and nothing actually changed in the 2 proceeding years and it’s not exactly stock anymore).

[@tschimbo12]

@@CamaroAmx The thing is in Austria, taxes and the mandatory insurance is is highly dependent on the engine power. So you have to have a decent income to be able to afford a 200hp car. The average car has 123hp.

A lot of manufactures offered sticks but in the bare bones models. We narrowed it down to the chevy Sonic with the RS package or the Fiesta. After driving both we realized that the Sonic was all show and no go and it was not very comfortable. We ended up with the ST with Recaro seats and she has already been pulled over a couple times.

I like that your video is about Ford Fiesta and in the background is a Ford Focus RS.

Have a 2015 ST and it literally drives like a beefed up go kart that steers with the throttle. Amazing little machines

[@Qunia]

This is like 1 of the very few modern cars i wouldn’t hate using for daily driving. I personally don’t like most economy cars, they’re extremely boring imo

[@Frankie_Freedom]

Yeah the car is really fun. Super agile. Really quick and raw. Probably a little too rough but really fun

[@PrydeWater901]

FINALLY! I have a 2019 ST, the last of the ones made in the States! Blacked out the roof and put some rally-esque wheels on it. Love the little party car. Sucks that the US doesn’t even offer these as like a pre-order, or a build your own option and just have it shipped here for an additional fee :/ I would pay it for a new model like the ones Europe is getting 🤷🏻‍♂️

Personal request : up to speed on Honda HSV-010GT, the Japanese Super GT GT500 legend. Won many races during its short life span and it was an eagle with broken wings (never made it to any public market, no road versions available at all). A Honda with V10 NA, 8000rpm+ redline, 600horsepower. Front engine, rear-wheel-drive. Tested at Nurburgring.

My very first car was a Mk3 1.3i fiesta that I modified whilst I was waiting to past my test with a XR2i (a car you missed) bodykit , cherry bomb exhaust,,K&N filter, Mk5 Escort GTI wheels and a massive sound system as you did back then , dam I loved that car it was so much fun. I'd love a Mk2 XR2 now with a 2.0 Zetec Turbo conversion 👌

[@jimmynewp558]

My first car was a 1980 Ford Fiesta I bought for $120 in 1998. I could NOT kill that thing... and I tried. Blown rad hose? No problem, it kept going. No oil? Not an issue, it'll get you home. Fire in the engine bay (twice!), np, started right up after it was put out. Finally, some 8 years later (and an epic thunderstorm) the Fiesta met it's doom, not by anything the driver did to it, but a huge oak tree turned it into a hotdog bun. I still love that car, super fun to drive and whip around mountain turns.

Always driven Fords, love em!. In the UK i was raised on a diet of Fords in the early 1960s its all my dad would have. Had 3 Sierra Cosworth's last one being the RS500 (should of never sold it!) But brought a auto Hilux because of bad left leg but still craved a fast Ford. So looking at an ST Fiesta when all of a sudden Toyota brought out in 2020 the GR Yaris!!!. If Ford don't get their finger out & do better than the GR i will be going over to the dark side!!!

Switch off the traction control and go drifting with lift off oversteer! Now warranty is up its time for more power baby!

[@m4mad292]

The Ford Fiesta was a light and compact car that had a performance version aka Fiesta ST. In my opinion this car is the best for a grocery getter and racing

[@zsemmler]

I love you James Pumphrey. Your living my dream. Huge fan and love all of the awesome content donut media produces. Keep up the awesome work I appreciate it.

[@DunateoRom8v37]

I had a Fiesta ST 07 model. It was a solid car. Very reliable engine. With its very wide tyres it sat on the road like a tick on a bulls bum. It revved and sounded happy to do so. Economical if you where sensible. It was a blast. Very regretful sale.

[@dashcamwtf7083]

FINALLY!! Been waiting for Up to Speed ep

[@pingislife2653]

Even though my soul belongs to Honda, I must tip my hat to the ST. That's a damn good car.

[@barrybenkendorf672]

The Fiesta ST converted me from a lifelong Honda fan. Never going back until my Fiesta ST dies after I throw every part at it left on the earth. It is true driving perfection. That steering alone compared to Honda sold it to me on the spot. That was the one and pretty much only thing I thought my Hondas were great for, steering feel. Fiesta ST steering made my CR-Z feel like a floating boat. Loved that CR-Z though even though it was slow, had it modded out with H&R springs, Magnaflow exhaust, Takeda cold air intake. Steering was tight and heavy in sport mode only.

[@ridernotrunner]

The FiST: an iconic responsible grocery-getting choice for the hopeless hooner. I have gotten pretty crazy in mine even... FWD donuts in reverse anyone? 🏎💨 You didn't even mention that the ST is only available in a 6 speed! Let's get an ST/RS only Donut video please 🙏
