Traded my performance edition fiesta st in for this.. it’s so much fun. Bigger and more practical than the fiesta. And due to pandemic had approx 5k equity in my fiesta . So got great deal. I love it. And the colour is great. Just for the new mountune m365 map and extras to go on it to get. Nice video

I got a valuation on my 2019 fiesta st and I’ve got 8k equity after 2 and half years ownership , they are selling for what I paid new now! That being said if I trade it in I have to buy a car that’s also inflated in price so I’m no better off :-(

Really good video Jonny. I was really impressed with the launch control on this thing, they launch looked really quick off the line for a FWD compared to the fiesta, but then again the wheel hop in the fiesta doesn’t do it any favours 😂

Great overview! Maybe a normal MK4 Focus and a Fiesta ST on the side is the best combo. I've driven the MK4 Focus ST on track, standard car, and it did not feel as fun as I thought. I'm not sure the KW suspension gets you more fun here judging by your thoughts it just makes the car more serious and capable 👍
@JBCTR2 жыл бұрын
Yup, I’d agree with that. The KW suspension would (weirdly) make it a more comfortable daily. They’re genuinely brilliant at making the car float over bumps. They still get upset at times, but not as much as the standard set up.

Awesome car but really really wish they did an AWD version, it's the main thing pushing me away from getting one when a lot of cars in the same price range offer it
@JBCTR2 жыл бұрын
I honestly don’t think AWD would make this car better. The ‘fun’ factor is already quite hard to access within our speed restrictions. Adding AWD would mean the car would be able to go even faster before it becomes playful. That isn’t what this car needs.

New Fiesta and focus facelift models are out, with ST versions too. So even though this Edition model is on the market for a few months, its still the outdated model by today. Recaro is also out of the ST brand and now we get Ford Performance seats.
@cy9nvs2 жыл бұрын
It's just a rather small facelift, only new things are the seats and the new infotainment. Wouldn't call it outdated just because it has a different infotainment system, especially since the old one does everything you need it to do.

Apart from new seats and infotainment, it has a new front and new headlights. Also can you order the vehicle shown in the video? i'm pretty sure you can't, at least not in my country. You can only order the newer one so this one automatically becomes outdated. Obviously its still a great vehicle and i totally agree on the color.
