Ford Fiesta ST Mk8 on fast backroad

[@jcooper_]

These are so fun. I had a Mini Cooper S (2011) before that which had the trademark 'go-kart' handling and was great fun, but the ST is on another level with how adjustable the chassis is. Brake hard, tuck it in and let the LSD pull you out, or throw it in and go mad with the lift-off oversteer, the choice is yours! And then when you need to just go from A to B, it's such an efficient cruiser. Last of it's breed, too - if you have one, keep it!

hello, i have the same car etc, and i am trying to find a camera to attach to the seat for similar videos . Which one did you use ? thank you in advance

[@Eccentricplum]

Have you had any issues with the car since ownership? I have asked 2 other owners with 1.5 and 2 years of ownership, none had any issues. Just gathering feedback as I’m genuinely interested in purchasing one. Thank you.

[@fabianwrc158]

Nope, the car is very reliable, fun and great value for money. Only thing that can make problems are the brakes if you drive on the track. Greetings

@iNSTAGiB easy solution new better brakepads, higher boiling point brake fluid and if thats still not enough, get new brake rotors (vented/drilled)

[@marklambert2750]

You would love the i20N, so please take a test drive first…. I did and went for an i20N over the ST

[@leviathan4394]

I have a 2018 model since 2020 and the only issue is that the check engine light goes on once a few months and before I get it to a repair shop, it goes off.

[@arialjennifer-jz3bd]

@@marklambert2750I was going to buy the I20N but after watching car wow review I went for fiesta st. I like the I20N exhaust settings 🔥

[@absturzmann]

Sag ma biste sicher das der software serie ist? Der drückt sehr aggressiv

[@Nikfettu]

Nice rev match! ;)

[@foxmix8519]

You recomend this hot hatch to 2020? Have speed enough?

[@fabianwrc158]

best hot hatch you can buy now imo, more than fast enough, sometimes too fast.

[@buckleyjteams]

If you want to stop the wheel hop on launch you can get a bottom toque mount with some poly bushes in it helps alot

[@killingspree123]

when it doesnt broke up :D powerflex actually sucks, even the never revision of that mount bushings break

[@fabianwrc158]

Jack The bum tickler haha ok, i actually quite like it when you feel the diff working.

[@carmad1287]

@@fabianwrc158 Wheel hop is not the diff working 😂😂😂, its weight transfer to the rear of the car causing less traction at the front.

[@vrxpct5305]

Thx bro I needed tha too

Stupenda bell suono❤️

[@Manuun1]

Top gefahren. Kann ich für meinen ST noch was lernen. Hast du bei der Fahrweise schonmal Probleme mit deinem gehabt (bsp. Stirndeckel undicht)?

[@fabianwrc158]

Danke und nein, außer den Bremsen läuft er richtig gut.

[@AndreRomano272]

Hey man, didn't you have another fiesta backroad video on youtube? Seems to have been removed.

[@boektcity]

i see you pull on the steering wheel a lot, try to push on it, you will be able to go a lot quicker (i am a ford test driver)

[@TheBnelo]

Hi there. You car is White or Silver Fox 4-Coat?

[@Discordie06]

hit the raoad babe ! :X

[@Murphy252000]

You liking it mate? Very tempted as it’s such a bargain

[@fabianwrc158]

Sure, its a great car especially if you consider the price.

[@projectflightyoutube]

Is this stock?

[@SeZ_LeZ]

Yes

[@projectflightyoutube]

@@SeZ_LeZ Thanks haha, I went ahead and bought my mk8 st a couple weeks ago, loving it tbf

[@hellobye9905]

Is it hard to overtake other traffic on these roads in Fiesta ST? Nice driving btw

[@fabianwrc158]

thanks mate, yeah thats true

[@stam4569]

Do you have the LSD equiped ?

[@fabianwrc158]

Yep

[@Manuel-mq4vz]

Servus schöne Fahrt hast du noch alles original gelassen bisher?

[@fabianwrc158]

John Reese ja bis jetzt schon. Werde aber bald auf castrol react srf Bremsflüssigkeit wechseln.

[@sohappy7389]

Brauchst nicht vom Gas gehen beim Schalten. Flat Shift wenn die ST Lampe aufleuchtet

[@fabianwrc158]

kann man machen, hab auch nen 0-200 video mit flat shift, aber in kurven bringt das zu viel Unruhe in den Antriebsstrang.

[@dre32pitt]

Too bad ford didnt sell this in North America.. Would've bought one immediately.. I'll have to settle for my mk7 FiST lol... The mk8 is better in everyway that I can see.. at least from my perspective having not driven one.. on paper, it looks like a VERY successful sequel (think Dark Knight)

[@Taxi-yq6vv]

why is he braking with his left foot... so stupid

[@SabbaST]

you are stupid dude, pro drivers do that too!

[@Cydro12]

Its done frequently while racing on tracks, so it’s not stupid, it’s just quicker, as you can keep the car under load while driving to prevent it from making sudden movements, like when letting off the gas mid corner

[@Nathan-qt2zi]

Only stupid if you can't do it. Perfectly fine if you can
