New Ford Fiesta ST 2020 review - see why it's NOT quite the perfect hot hatch

[@bebertease]

Nice engine, nice handling and chassis, nice look, manual gearbox, not too expensive...everything you expect from a small Gti. Ford rules !

[@dannylindsley713]

I have the mark 7 ST . And Everytime I drive it , it puts a big smile on my face it handles very well . Yes the ride is quite hard round town . But when you've got a open road it loves to be driven . I love it .

[@ahmarchitecture7157]

Am i the only who thinks it looks good?

[@Aenkor1982]

Lol Hei no its beautiful

[@forgamesforme]

Tbh I think it looks good in every colour other than red

[@tyler-zw7yh]

Except the back yes

[@thecommentator6694]

I really like it and plan on getting one at some point, but I do have to agree with the others saying about the rear, it's too square and almost boring looking, it's a shame because it's a fantastic car.

[@1Steph]

It looks amazing

[@Scooter-dm3qo]

Best bang for the buck performance car EVER, my 2019 ST was 19580 USD out the door. Ride on the standard 205R40-17 tire and rims was poor, which is why those are now in the loft of my garage. Now my ST rides on 205R50-16 tires and rims. Cost me about 1000 USD but the improvement in ride was tremendous and it will pay for itself within 3 hard pothole strikes because what will bust a 40 series wheel won't harm a 50 series. BTW, live in the metro Detroit area and suspect that roads in England are glass in comparison to what is called "paving" in Michigan.

[@ehvlullo]

I've been in these a couple of times already. I really like the recaro seats and thick steering wheel though. I think the steering wheel is the same as any regular fiesta st-line. When you put the seat all the way down, forward and pull the steering wheel towards you, you pretty much feel like a pro racer instantly.

[@benjaminbrown9307]

I have a one of these and its absolutely brilliant as an everyday drive love it so comfy brilliant car cant quite understand what hes going on about the steering but each to their own brilliant car test drove the polo and its my own opinion the fiesta is far more fun and way better value for the money

[@FlorinC1984]

He's an idiot, the Polo doesn't even come close to the Fiesta. Nah, just joking, he's not an idiot, he's just being paid by VW to lie about the Polo being awesome, while we all know the Polo is shit and the Fiesta is still the Class standard from every point of view. Matt does not have a soul anymore, he sold it to the VW Beelzebub.

[@TwinJag374]

They are pretty cool. I went out in one with the performance package, so it's got LSD, and different suspension. It's pretty nippy. Worth it if you want a fun daily

That looked so weird lol

Glory to God for all went well !

[@sean0611]

Wait complete the sentence Mat is a professional... Headbutter

[@TheDavisDennisShow]

The front of the vehicle looks nice, but the rear is a bit MPV like. The best looking fiesta is still the previous gen, pre facelift Zetec version

[@daveyboiyeah]

The Davis & Dennis Show I agree. I hated the facelift. It looked like a sucker fish!

[@TheDavisDennisShow]

david norman yeah particularly when it turned one of the best looking small cars ever into something just a little bit hideous 😂

[@daveyboiyeah]

The Davis & Dennis Show That's true! The pre-facelift 208 is the best looking recent hatchback at the moment to me especially in XY spec 🙂

[@TheDavisDennisShow]

david norman agreed, the XY looked great, so good that I was wishing that the GTi had the same bodykit ahaha

[@daveyboiyeah]

It shared the same bodykit as the GTI except the XY were like a premium fashionable model. To me it's my favourite 208 and it has to be in the purple!

[@WheatenKarma]

This is the first car review I've seen where the steering has been called "hormonal"...

[@jukkal4382]

Luckily there aren't many feminist viewers for carwow ;)

[@Yakazuka]

I think he's hormonal that it's better than the new VW GTI... :P

[@WheatenKarma]

Jukka L Yes thank the lord

[@pizarro3]

Fiesta ST has a perfectly steering!

[@henryslager9406]

If a car reminds you of your girlfriend, you know you have relationship issues 😂

[@iot1452]

I love it. Who doesn't love small hatchbacks with manuals? Just Americans. 😂

[@dom3827]

Because Americans can`t shift

[@jamestobin2529]

Don't group us together boys i've driven only 6spd hot hatches my whole life. And I'm 28.

[@perfectlybalanced8995]

®ioT There are a group of Americans (like myself) that enjoy small hot hatches. It’s not our fault Ford is not selling them here anymore. It’s all thanks to the Karens and Soccer Moms. As for Manuals there are plenty of us that prefer those over the automatics

[@KiwiGraggle]

Me, because I associate any of the ST range as being specifically for chav like people who have no style and not enough money to buy a German or even a higher end Japanese vehicle.

[@taelorwatson9822]

I'm American and we have tons of traffic does it have an Auto?

[@owen4315]

The rear looks like a c max

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

Thats not a good thing.

[@ZzxOPTICxzZ]

That's what I've been saying !!!!

[@m.a4491]

It's a downgrade...

[@seeitpickitbinit2510]

Worse, literally if they set out to make it worse than the amazing previous model, they couldn’t have done a bigger hatchet job. I just wish Ford would wake up and stop using the same cheapo interior in all their models. If you pay 10k more, why has it got almost all of the same cheap, low end plastic. How about some actual leather, wood and metal, you know, actual materials and not reprocessed oil and stray dogs. The so called leather steering wheel is a joke, sooo thin that it peels off like a Nuke victim’s skin ffs🤣🤣🤣

[@EdGeyy]

For cars like this, the kind where a community literally waits on edge for months and months to hear what you think of the long awaited ST, I'd really love a longer review. 10:11 is extremely short, it doesn't give you or us enough time.

[@Wargwarn]

Not sure anyone cares that much about what he thinks to wait months for a review. He's hardly an expert.

[@kagishokgaile]

Power to the manual!

[@MyZippy13]

Only the front looks any good. Get 595 Abarth instead.

[@mattsamuels3607]

Dated though. Starting to get left behind by the dual clutch autos

[@hereigoagain5050]

Glue two of those 1.5 liter 3 cylinders together in a line, mount them longitudinally, and give it rear wheel drive. Fiesta M!

[@justinchvnl]

oui j'avoue la grosse cabane

[@altraigovender5900]

Yeah 🤔 not impressed at all with the design of the back of the car it looks like a mini van from the back 😂still prefer the old fiesta ST

[@tomheard7844]

Altrai Govender I thought it looked like a van too 😂

[@erespl5830]

Heh you guys right ford C-max style 😂

[@Its_A_Van]

Looks like a mondeo at the back. The old one was a lot better

[@kennethguan2482]

Me too.What a pity that I can hardly buy a 2013 fiesta st in China now,though I have a 2013 focus st :D

[@TheShadowstorm93]

I actually like the back-end. But I do drive a Honda Fit, so maybe I’m used to the whole mini minivan look.

[@stephenhitchen8753]

Steering at 8.41, owned an st for 14months never had a problem, the steering is amazing, chuck it into a corner and it pulls around great.

[@signalorangers2k]

I've just ordered a new one. I had 2 of the previous 1.6l versions. These are the most fun you can have for the money.

[@marwood9421]

Looks great (from the front) and sounds amazing (from the back)

[@bwmim9709]

It’s like saying she has a nice face and a good fart

[@VaneNaumovski]

The back looks like a 2010 C-Max.

[@dirtybob2633]

Vane Naumovski First thing I thought!

[@drd6416]

And looks dumbed down. The older one at least had some sharp lines to it, but I'll never buy a Ford...

[@VeniVidiAjax]

Exactly... but a bit smaller

[@roversnolan1]

VeniVidiAjax so a B-Max then

[@Masterbommel]

Sad but true

[@Chema7657]

I love the Fiesta ST

[@freshklinki93]

This 3 cylinder sounds surprisingly good!

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

freshklinki93 probably go boom at around 90k if it's anything like Ford's 1.0L 3 cylinder ecoboom.

[@freshklinki93]

interceptor1986 oh you mean that 100hp 1.0 3 cylinder ecoboost that passed the autobild 100.000km test without a single fault while 4 cylinders from Audi, VW and Fiat already had an engine failure? Sure it will LMAO

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

freshklinki93 plenty of failures reported by actual owners. 90k miles to 100k miles seems to be a favourite time.

[@GlaringDiamon]

My dad had a 1.0 ecoboom for his courtesy car,it was super and turbocharged

[@carterdavis2793]

Take off the rev limiter and it'll sound even better

[@nathant8951]

I dont care what anyone else says - I think this is a great looking car, though perhaps not as good as the old one. But still great in my opinion.

[@jaalle5748]

The point of the car is not design, but the fun and driving experience

[@bakersmileyface]

Except for the ass which I hate, I actually prefer the newer chassis. The Mk7 looks a bit too much like a boy racer car, the mk8 looks a bit more grown up while still being a little bit of fun. I'm also a fan of sleeper cars. So the more unsuspecting people are of the car, the better haha.

[@_rlb]

"I'm far too sensible now I'm older". Falls out of car and headbutts engine :)

[@SkitzoFPV]

So why exactly did they discontinue the focus and fiesta in the states but continue producing them for europe? my mind is blown.

[@htasker8]

Because they sell really well in the UK you won't go far without seeing a fiesta its the best selling car in the UK I know that they just don't sell in the US

[@janbotha6394]

...because USA will have a class action against the rubbish that Ford sells while Ford will get away with selling the crap to blind UK customers...

[@hassanalasri7236]

The best small hatchback in the segment especially the interior.

[@tyler.greene]

It’s not fake noise Matt!! Know your facts before dissing a car! It’s actual exhaust noise, real time, just boosted through the speakers because the car is so well insulated! Jeeezzzzz!!!!

[@fisslewine1222]

The new Fiesta is brilliant, and even tall people can fit comfortably into the drivers seat!

[@MeSleepy172]

F'in love my 2019 ST. Can't agree with your steering gripes.

[@24hourscartoons45]

This is the best Fiesta ever made.

[@astradala1845]

Mk 7

[@RobBoothAutomotive]

That description of the handling at 7:02 is so true - never heard it been explained like that before.

[@cy9nvs]

Damn I love the steering wheel! Got the mk3 focus st which basically has the same (only with different buttons) and it feels and looks great imo.

[@bobbybooshay5854]

The previous ST was really good so it was always going to be a hard act to follow. The interior of this one is more modern but the exterior styling of the previous one is better in my opinion.

[@kevinfortin8240]

It's not "better" it's more of people like how agressive and cool it looks, but that doesn't mean it's better all around.

[@Chris_Wald]

That’s fast for a 3 pot!

[@VehicleValhalla]

Chris Wald I made a video about cars: Different Types Of Engines: A Simple But Complete Guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/onu9e3aVraZ-ecU Did you like it?

[@OscarMaris]

they're not pots, they're cylinders.

[@baginatora]

They're not cylinders- they're mini-missile silos.

[@OscarMaris]

bagintora lol good one but they are a bit small. You could compare the LS7's cylinders to missile silos.

[@minimumtrade]

Unfortunately the 3 cylinders have a wee downfall. An inability to keep the revs down when downshifting on a decline. The revs go up!

[@rinusvandeven]

You guys are one of the first to upload a review of the ST, thumbs up!

[@raybloodypurchase1941]

Have Ford relocated their entire design division to the US or something? Recently they have neglected any attempt to style a car for the European market.

[@iot1452]

Ray Bloody Purchase Ford has decided to cancel its entire range of saloons and hatchbacks in the North American market, sticking only to SUVs and trucks by 2020. Only small car that won't face the axe is the new Focus with body cladding.

[@raybloodypurchase1941]

®ioT Thanks for the info. Good luck Ford with that future business model.

[@royalstevep68]

Ray Bloody Purchase jellymold styling, like tesla

[@CanadianMax]

Do you know how many F150's and Explorers Ford sell in North America? Do you think they give a 1/2 a cent about what Europe thinks?

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Lol good point plus if stand is not in the name then it’s not a car to them

[@J_S591]

I just like that you head butted the engine cover. That’s pretty unique.

[@wayfaringcookie8142]

Is it me or from behind does this car look like a Minivan?

[@carwow]

It's definitely just you...

[@wayfaringcookie8142]

Haha thought so 🤭

[@TextuRePro]

from the back yes cause of that bumper but the front looks like a normal fiesta 😂

[@dansh]

Finally I find someone else who sees that the back is really minivan-ish compared to the previous model

[@bendikvalen]

I agree with Andrew W. looks bad

[@Richard1976]

Previous model looks so much better

[@Andreas1818]

I had my Fiesta ST MK7 for four years as a daily. But I live in Sweden and our roads are much better than UK. Anyway, last week I ordered the new Fiesta ST with 5 doors. And Performance package included. I hope I'm going to have another four great years with this one. Yes, based on photos mk7 looks better but the interior isn't on the same level though. But I want a new car so mk8 feels like perfect upgrade.

[@KevAlberta]

You’re gonna love the 3 cyl sound

[@Andreas1818]

Davide Palazzini I live in Sweden. My dealer have the info from Ford. As it happens Im also member at fiesta st UK forum. There are many members there already ordered their cars. Visit your Ford dealer,they can help you.

[@Andreas1818]

MountKeverest based on videos the car sounds great. My motorcycle is also with 3-cylinders 🙂

[@grantorino9049]

I have seen the Mk8 in RL yesterday. Belive me it looks awesome :) in germany the first STs are delivered now! Mine is built on 22th this month and delivered 7th of July :)

[@plotdot6920]

That’s sounds awesome I hope you have fun with your new ST . I live in the USA (moved ) but every one of my family is still is Poland or Germany and whenever I visit them I envy the good roads . USA roads are 3rd world and barely drivable unless you have a suv or pickup truck . A majority of Americans are buying suvs now , hence Ford discontinued the fiesta , focus and fusion ! Wtf ford made a big mistake because for the next couple years the other competition will still be making cars . I can’t even get access to some fords that Europeans get . Same way Germany companies make products available in the USA but not in Germany . I can get a manual transmission M5 in the US but not in Germany . Should be the other way around if anything .

[@nunchaks700]

Finally a reviewer who understands the benefit of a 4/5 door compared to a 2/3 door car. Even if it's a hatchback, it just makes more sense to put more doors for rear passengers access. Car manufacturers please take note and learn a thing or two from Honda, Volkswagen clearly has!

[@paul95923]

[@th-l8936]

But why would anyone want a Polo GTI over this?! It's way too sensible and boring, if you can't deal with hard suspension, you shouldn't buy a hot hatch.

[@carreragt8516]

T H-L the ST is more boring, there's more ST's than standard fiesta's.

[@th-l8936]

CarreraGT How'd you come to that? How can there be more Fiesta ST than standard Fiesta itself? The Polo is do boring, the Fiesta isn't.

[@Rapscallion2009]

I know what you mean. They're hot hatches, not minivans. If you wanted sensible over sporty, why bother at all? I'd prefer the fiesta. I love light, fun, frenetic cars.

[@Maskinmester-DK]

One Main thing, the engine. The engine is WAY Better and with much more potential.

[@netiturtle]

Idea of the hot hatch is to have something fun but usable. If you care more about track performance or driving just for the fun of it, get a sport car, not a hatch. Your post made no sense imo

[@SuperPuggle]

Hedgehogs and Fiesta STs are similar. Except for a Hedgehog, the pricks are on the outside.

[@mohammadlone]

Any plans for a Polo GTI review soon?

[@Aenkor1982]

[@grantorino9049]

For sure the new one is better. Only mimimi complains o.O the sound is not fake, it just the REAL Sound brought from outside to inside by speakers. The car is quite Loud from outside (about 100db, i30N is 109db in Comparison) Stearing changes with drive modes. On sport and track its more like wrc stearing.

[@Nigelrudyardmusic]

The exterior looks better from the rear, but the interior is infinitely better than the previous model.

[@sva60_cyyz59]

At least you get that car there!! Sadly now that Ford has decided to only sell Mustangs and SUV’s in North America, including Canada, the Fiesta ST is no more here, which is sad because everybody loved it here in Canada

[@Fadic4]

sva60_ cyyz if more people bought the regular version then ford would've kept making them.

[@arcthum]

Is this true??

[@plotdot6920]

Fadic4 I don’t think so . The Ford Fusion sold really well and the only midsize that sold better was the Toyota Camry due to fleet sales . They still discontinued it for some reason, I’m guessing ford assumes suvs are the future now so everyone will start buying a crossover or suv within the next decade .

[@kevinfortin8240]

@@plotdot6920 It's partially because of how incredobly well their trucks have been selling, and the other reason is because the new CEO keeps fucking up their company by making bad decisions. Ford as a car company and producer of great cars and iconiccool cars is awesome, but the decisions they make their and things they run are a bit lacking and has much to be desired. Hope that they get rid of the new CEO and hire better people or atleast bring back the line up of hatchbaxks and sedans...

[@plotdot6920]

Kevin Fortin True , they are giving up half a million sales of cars because they think everyone wants a suv . The ceo is a dumbass because there is a reason the people are buying cars , more mpg and less space and typically less expensive . Watch what happens when a oil crisis or economy goes down or something like that . Everyone will be buying cars with 40 mpg and ford will be fucked . The ceo has to have a 50 IQ aswell , because if ford is giving up half a million sales early , I can promise you they are not switching to suvs , it’s not even guaranteed they will switch to a ford suv , now think about all the people that don’t wnat a SUV period . They will go buy other cars from other companies ...

[@antn8387]

Hey Ford, make this Fiesta ST coupe available in the USA. I don't want to buy a mustang or F350. I want a hatchback coupe.

[@GeeeEm61]

I'm with you older Mat. After longing for a Fiesta ST for over a year & then taking an extended test drive I found the same thing with the suspension in the now superseded model, ie, too harsh for the day to day on Oz's crap roads. The Clio RS200's suspension was far more compliant and cushioning, so I bought it and have not regretted it at all.

[@Grabonator86]

The old ST200 is the best and best looking fiesta ever.

[@GTIracerr]

Cool car, but I prefer the 4 cylinder Polo GTI to be honest. Nothing wrong with Ford's 3 cylinder, very cool what they can do with it, but it's not a 4 banger. Great review!

Disappointed that it's not coming to the US. I've had 2 STs and have loved them. RIP affordable performance.

pls add just a video with some sound recordings :) Sounds way better, sadly they installed too many sound symposer

Great review Mat :) Car seems better than the older version. Just a quick question Mat. You keep mentioning the Polo GTI yet I don't see a review from carwow of the GTI. What gives?

Yeah, it's not that important if it is automatic or manual... but I guess thats the reason, because it's really weird Matt hasn't made a review of the GTI yet...

Totally agree !! Polo GTI any day

[@carig121]

not so sure bout the "same" price, in my country (France) polo GTI base price is 28.920 euros against 23.200 euros for the Fiesta ST, that's almost 6000 euros more of course overall built quality, space and entertainment system are better in the Polo and comes with a price

It has 3 cylinder, it is like a Triumph motorcycle! You britons should love it! :-D

[@DeeSeaAreEss]

I’ve just bought one and it is very lively. “Overdosed on Haribo” ? definitely. On the other hand if driven sensibly, it’s pretty frugal on a long journey as it shuts one of its cylinders down. But let’s be honest, it’s not meant to be sensible and I’m definitely old enough to know better.

Dear Mariella, my Fiesta ST has got emotional problems...

[@paulwharton1850]

Excellent review - i very much appreciate you giving your opinion on the steering problems and the way it rides.

[@ghandyman]

Prefer the looks of the previous generation. Hideous rear end and wheels on this model and a ‘softer’ look front end. That being said, I prefer the infotainment in the new one and the LED headlights. I’ll still take the old generation with a mountune upgrade, THANKS!

[@imissmywife.]

Ayyy I have mountune upgrade

[@ghp0518]

Don't know what to say about the rear lights, they look a lot like the ones from the C-max van, and that's an association I wouldn't want in a hot hatch.

[@mills3375]

I think it’s a great improvement from the mk7 (previous generation) Ford hasn’t lost the fun in their fiesta and most of their cars they make

[@GhadSpeed]

Imagine if ford and Honda unified. Ford giving that power and Honda giving that realizability.
