INSANE Underrated Ford - The Best Fiesta ST ever made!

[@nickbourne3202]

How could of Ford stopped making these beautiful cars.

[@YBCTR]

They clearly lost their mind or mostly only things in profit - I supose :3

[@QuitQuiOc]

If you don't mind electric, buy a Mach e. Looks just like it

[@YBCTR]

its nothing like it tho :/

[@neovenom7187]

I snatched away one of the last models from a dealer who had a green full optioned one in stock. Been in my care since a week or 3. I love it to bits. I had a MK7.5 Fiesta ST200 before this one. A great car, but very lacking in infotainment options. But the MK8.5 ST like an ST that has fully matured into a proper well equipped car, without loosing it's fun factor.

[@YBCTR]

It pure joy! So nice to hear from a true owner out there! Thanks mate

[@moist.teabag]

How much was it?

[@AndyS2K76]

bought mine and received 2 months ago. amazing car and i had m3, s2000, clio rs and many other. this fiesta is crazy and i have this and a gt86 and happy like a baby😜

[@YBCTR]

I can understand that - One of the best hot hatches i have tried! 😳

[@AsidsTechTips]

for the love of god man, do more english videos on non electric cars, you are such a legend. by far the best review of the stx on line. I am a proud stx owner as well, and she is getting her legs stretched well. nurburgring, cheneveires. and every single mountain pass in france italy and switzerland, absolute mythical beast of a car.

[@YBCTR]

thaanks! - will surely doo soo! ;) - More to come!

[@sarperakyurek2298]

You definitely should do more vids on ICE cars mate. And keep using whatever drug youre on. Love that mood :)@@YBCTR

[@YBCTR]

@@sarperakyurek2298 Makes me really motivated a comment like that - I will! There is ICE cars in the works. Tbh i only want to make videos on those cars haha. But sometimes its hard when manefactures only producer EV’s haha

[@georgeleary5542]

Picked mine up in September last year in the magnetic grey finish with heated seats and steering wheel, and of course the B&O Soundsystem! With a ford discount ticket i got the car for £27,650 with 3 miles on the clock. Happy as a pig in shit 😊 arguably the best bang for buck in terms of money for performance on the market right now. Had 140mph out of her and she'll happily do more. Love it! Great review bud, well done 👏

[@YBCTR]

Thaaanks man! such a cool comment! Made me happy! - I will try to get hold of more cool ford models and do some reviews! :)

[@jondonnelly3]

Unofficially the 8.5 makes 221hp on 99 Octane juice. It was a wee tweak to the tune for the last model.

[@Maxx8666]

Great video, love the style. I’ve been living in Denmark for the last few months and it’s nice to see that there are actually car enthusiasts here haha.

[@YBCTR]

Thanks man! Yup not to many but we are out there!

[@mreggs8010]

Nice dude what a different style of describing the car

[@YBCTR]

Thanks! trying my best!

[@andrewstevenson6540]

I've just treated myself to one the same spec. It's my 2nd Fiesta,my 1st was a mk2 950 popular 😂 Some difference power,heated seats/screen/wheel it's a lovely car and I really enjoyed the review 🍻

[@YBCTR]

Thaaanks alot man! Enjoy the best new hot hatch there! 👌🏼

[@SuperMilkytea]

Entertaining video, great watch, cant wait to receive mine in a few weeks time.

[@YBCTR]

Thanks! - Oh you are a one lucky man!

[@SpoolinShirley]

True swan song. Thanks for great video! I tried to order new ST, too late. Luckily there is many in Germany to import

[@YBCTR]

Thanks! - It truly is! - oh maybe i should look into that!

[@chieflemons]

I have the 2022 MK8.5 and i absolutely love it. Came from a Stage 2 MK7 but just love how modern the MK8.5 feels. Question: how to i get the Rev lights to show up on the digital dash?? That's awesome!!

[@YBCTR]

Agreed its really cool actually - i dont know how you get the rev counter tho - it was just there to begin with :D

[@74aamer]

Had to follow after this

[@YBCTR]

Thanks! Alot more comming soon! Trying get my hands on the RS

[@andreamezzacasa4570]

Hi! I'd like to know if the Fiesta in the video is the last model (2023.25) that I can buy NOW, or a previous model. Thanks

[@YBCTR]

It is the last model, so the 8,5 generation ;). I dont know if its removed from the market in all markets but in Denmark they are now :((

[@przemekkk666]

Is it true, that there is no heated side mirrors and the bowl is plastic (not metal, like in previous one). If that, it's a shame. I'm going to buy the MK8 and the newest gen I like more because of profile and colours, but these side mirrors and bowl...

[@R1ProductionMai]

Ayn thoughts on the Ford Focus ST X? I´m thinking about getting one next year

[@YBCTR]

I really want to try that one! I think it could be pretty similar in the fun department? :)

[@alientje97]

great and entertaining video, do you have any flat foot shifting info on the ST?

[@YBCTR]

TY my man! - Ehm actually didnt experiment with that. But i cant se why you couldn't do it :D

[@alientje97]

@@YBCTR ford and topgear both promoted it as a feature on the mk8 with PP. But ive been searching for a while and cant see any kind of official info on it.

[@YBCTR]

@@alientje97 Would be wierd if they took it out then i guess? - I will ask Ford Denmark next time i get in touch with them.

[@alientje97]

@@YBCTR thanks, curious as to what they will answer.

[@Chemak2]

I love the Fiesta ST

[@YBCTR]

Me 2 - such a cool kit!

[@karllelliott681]

Interesting title - have you driven (for a meaningful period of time) or owned any of the other FiST's? I own a Mk7.5 and Mk8 Edition but have not driven a Mk6 or Mk8.5 so cannot comment there. However if you rate the cornering potential of this Mk8.5 then try the KW V3 coilovers as they are fantastic. Also adding a short shifter really does improve accuracy of the gear change so much, even though it is great in standard form. Just better with a SS. I am split over which of the two I have I prefer. I like my Mk7.5 (Infotainment aside) for the following reasons. Smaller steering wheel, better upper range grunt and sound, smaller wheels, better looks in terms of shape, better brake feel and better seats. I prefer the Mk8 for the coilovers, colour (though my molten orange Mk7.5 is very close behind), slightly improved interior, better torque and infotainment. Also worth noting that adding a rear motor mount makes the MK8(.5) vibrate noticeably more than the Mk7(.5). It is worth doing however to get rid of the 'slop' when accelerating, most noticeable again in the Mk8 more than the Mk7. I think they stopped making them on 7th July 2023 as well. I am glad to see you are driving this properly though!

[@YBCTR]

Im trying my best to give a good life on road for the time i had it haha.. I have tried some of the older ST as Well, but never owned one. But this is still my favourite when it comes to driving but i like the retro design of the older cars more.

[@lucwijngaard8413]

Can't believe there will never be another Fiesta rolling out of the factory, how is that possible? Imagine if VW stopped building the Golf!

[@YBCTR]

Sooner og later there will be no more golf GTI anymore. Only electric ones. Its about time to try one out i would say ;)

[@philhill7973]

Iv got one and my wife has to .

[@Funky1ism]

I don’t get the title? Since when is the Fiesta ST MK8 or MK8.5 been underrated? Its rated high all over, its best of his class, this car has never been underrated 🤷‍♂️

[@YBCTR]

Its not getting the same attention as the german equivalent - at least not in europe ;)

[@tnrX999]

Jeez, wouldn't want any car after you've had it. Are you 12yrs old ??

[@YBCTR]

It a press car from ford. So if it ain happening there it aint happening anywhere

[@tnrX999]

So just because it's a press car it's ok ?. Idiot.

[@bentmortensen8469]

3 cyl Ford =BOOM 😐

[@stevenwilkins3687]

It doesn’t put out 320nm that’s the Puma ST, this puts out around 290nm.

[@ogloftus]

No the mk8.5 does put out 320nm

[@michaelb9664]

The facelift mk 8.5 puts out 320Nm.

[@bogeymanshankers3904]

Ford are crazy dropping the fiesta ST for electric rubbish!

[@chrismorrison1955]

Insane price lol

[@YBCTR]

worth it tho?

[@chrismorrison1955]

@@YBCTR Nah come on. The charm was it gave big bang for your buck.

[@georgeleary5542]

​@chrismorrison1955 £27,000 for a 200bhp car that gets there quick handles very VERY well, looks good and brand new. Go to VW and match these performance stats and your easily spending £35,000 to £45,000 depending on extras. This car is cheap my man 😂

[@chrismorrison1955]

6 month old XPower for same money will give you over 400hp and if you want a sweet chassis buy old clio track car :)
