Summary
The new Fiesta ST had to be good to live up to its predecessor. Ford Performance developed this car, and have delivered an absolute gem. Despite having a rather un-hot-hatch 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine it manages to be faster, louder and more fun than the previous car. It’s more economical too! In addition, sleeker exterior lines and a more premium cabin finish ensure that the new Fiesta ST is better in every way.
