A short experience from me. I have driven the Ford Fiesta st 1.5 (it's the car of a good friend) for over 1.000km the last 2 weeks and can say that it is a very great car. It feels very powerful/torque (about 300nm) and the pops if you down- and upshift at the right rpm's and the sound overall is so much fun and sounds really great. We drove straight on the autobahn max. 240 km/h and downhill 260 km/h (it's completely stock). But the most impressive part is the performance at the country road, it's soo much fun. I can recommend the car to anyone that looks for a powerful small car with a great look, outstanding performance and a good quality-price ratio.
@@Hells_Gift_MB I have also driven the last generation of the fiesta st (182). The ride quality on the new one is really good, i would say slightly better then the previous generation (the previous st is also a really great car in my opinion). I have also driven the new fiesta st for about 300km straight on the german "autobahn" you can drive it daily and also for longer distances, but you feel that the suspension is on the harder side. Don't unterstand me wrong the car is quite comfortable for a small car, but the whole setting of the car is on the sporty/agile side. I would recommend you to test drive the fiesta st and then you can experience it on yourself, how the car feels for you.
I’ve got an st-3 and the ride is not as harsh as the previous gen, it’s a stiff car and at times is a little jiggly but a definite improvement, only really noticeable on poor road surfaces
Sounds crap and it’s 3 cylinder. Looks like a tiny minivan (odd looking rear) rather than a hatchback. Hardly best in class. A Polo GTI is more superior. Clio RS when it comes out with the 1.8T from Megane.
@Dom L. Lowest in the class? Is it fuck?...same 2.0l EA888 engine as in the Golf R with plenty of tuning potential. Relatively good exterior/ok interior with black trim, but each to their own I guess. The worst thing about the Polo is the lack of manual gearbox. I would probably go for something like a Peugeot 208 GTi if I was forced to drive a compact hot hatch. Cheap, fun and handles well. The Fiesta is good in many aspects but not the best in class imo.
Being an American who owns a current generation Focus ST this video takes me right back to 10 years ago when all the good small Fords lived in Europe. The Dark Ages have returned for American car enthusiasts.

This must seem scary for people not driving on the Autobahn on a regular basis. Besides, at that speed if anything happens it doesn't make a difference if you have a third hand on the wheel.
@@ARocketScientist85 I remember moving to Germany, first week or 2 on the highway, it felt like flying at 150 km/h. But soon, 200 became a casual cruising speed 😄. But yeah, takes some getting used to.
@@misterlove6225 As a cruising speed 200km/h is not suitable. I have lived a long time in Germany and can confirm your statement is not true. There is so much traffic everywhere that high speeds are either impossible or irresponsible.
@@juusohamalainen7507 As a native German I may only say: it depends... If you're on the A3 around Frankfurt on a Friday afternoon, good luck getting anywhere over 100. On the other hand, Autobahns like the A9, A7, A38 or A93 allow for speeds of over 200 kph quite often, especially if you're not stuck in rush hour traffic ;)
People who say they don't like it ..prob don't own one .I do and it goes like rocket .mid range grunt great and sounds fantastic pops and bangs from the exhaust in sport / race mode .
Great review! This is pretty much the exact car I have on order, can't wait for it to arrive! Unfortunately the build date keeps getting pushed back.. Oh well, some more video watching to do while waiting! :)
Ordered one too, should arrive in december. But in black and 3-door. Have seen this car in performance blue and I don't like it, it doesn't look agressive enough in this blue, especially with the back of this car.
Awesome! When did you order? Black isn't really my thing, I love the magnetic grey color though, but figured why not just go for thé ford performance color :)
I have the standard 18 plate Fiesta which is not too much different from this ST model. It feels really good to drive, looks and feels pristine. The brakes made my stomach turn and the surround sound system is almost as good as that in a Jaguar XKR. If you rev the car with the windows and doors closed, can't hear a sound but once you open the windows you can really hear it so that is a brilliant demonstration on how good the sound insulation is. The touch screen isn't too laggy but it is easy to use and feels great to touch. The model I have is the key less entry and push button start; I love how quick it starts once the button has been pushed. Overall it's a really nice car and for a 3 door hatch back made by Ford, I fear the day when problem begin to appear lol
So I like your reviews but I would like to add something. Maybe you can do a little more of an indepth review. That is to say, talk about the other driving modes as well. Give your impressions on the sound/road noise and drivability in comfort mode and indeed, all modes. The overall feel of the seats after you've been driving for a while. Cargo space, head room/clearance. Your overall opinion of everything you come in contact with on the dashboard, radio, etc. List prices for many European countries would be really be nice as well. Keep these vids coming and thanks from a dedicated long time subscriber and someone who likes each and every car review vid I watch.
I prefer a car that has a questionable sporty exterior but impresses you with its performance instead of vice-versa. This beauty looks great to me though.
Keef Chief I'm fully capable of standing on the outside of a car to hear what it sounds like. Besides the noise is enhanced, it's got to have a starting point.
oh okey. I have an old mk 2 focus st and there they bring the sounds inside from the actual exhaust . So its similar to that but from the speakers right?
wish i had my licence so i can drive these cars 😒 it’ll help my mental disorders esp depression just love the fact u can drive anywhere u want listening to music it’s like ur own little house
No it doesn't. Polo GTI has 320NM. And Polo is so easy to tune as it has a 2 liter engine that will last. 220-250PS and 350-380NM can be easily achieved. Fiesta's 1.5 liter 3 cyl should not be tuned at all. It would break soon.
@@dom3827 A 1,5 liter only three cylinder engine will not last long. It is self evident. The tuning grade is far too high. Fiesta is for teens and Polo for grown ups who have more than one car. In normal street traffic the car must be comfortable. Polo is. And the important thing with engines is high torque and torque range.
@@dom3827 I think the Fiesta is a good choice for youngsters. It is far too uncomfortable for serious driving in normal traffic. With the Polo you may easily drive even long distances.

Great Test - verry professional - thank you - can you also use the car for longer Autobahn distances? Actually I am Ford Focus ST 2017 and it is ok to drive on the Autobahn - maybe you can tell me if I can compare these 2 cars? Thank you
What’s interesting: My 22 MK8.5 also goes exactly 237km/h on the dials which is 232km/h gps. Like it is limited there - not doing 1km/h more, even downhill. 100-200 about 20sec flat corrected.
iam still on a fiesta mk7, a regular one and iam hasitant with this one. reason is: rule of thumb with cars is: the smaler the car, the cheaper the built quality. we have 2 fords of the same generation. a 2012 fiesta and a 2014 cmax. interior sound isolation is a huge difference between the two and she shift feeling, how smoth the gearbox is, is different. hell, even my old vectra b from 1999 felt smoother when it comes to switching gears then the 2012 fiesta. it just doesnt slide easily, it feels nothings really smeered in there. its like the fiesta has a 500 dollar gearbox and the cmax has a 1500 dollar one. and i fear that its the same even with this fiesta st, that theres a huge difference in haptics between a fiesta st and a focus st.
Engine sound doesn't come from the speakers. It uses a sound symposer which is just air pulses caused by the turbo which is then pushed into the cabin. Like the MK7
It's sound like a little 6 cylinder or It is Only a my impression? Why Ford don't built a version with an automatic transmission? In 2019 yuo must give an alternative choise for a buyer!

Well mate, I have owned one of these for a year and a half now. Last week I completed a 220 mile trip at 49.6mpg (UK). If they are driven normal throttle around town I'd expect around 35-40mpg BUT, with a lot of fun included around 34-35...Still really surprising how good it is on fuel. I have also remapped mine stage 1 including air filter.

iam still on a fiesta mk7, a regular one and iam hasitant with this one. reason is: rule of thumb with cars is: the smaler the car, the cheaper the built quality. we have 2 fords of the same generation. a 2012 fiesta and a 2014 cmax. interior sound isolation is a huge difference between the two and she shift feeling, how smoth the gearbox is, is different. hell, even my old vectra b from 1999 felt smoother when it comes to switching gears then the 2012 fiesta. it just doesnt slide easily, it feels nothings really smeered in there. its like the fiesta has a 500 dollar gearbox and the cmax has a 1500 dollar one. and i fear that its the same even with this fiesta st, that theres a huge difference in haptics between a fiesta st and a focus st.

i willo never understand why they made this 1.5 into a 3 cyl engine. 1.5 can be made into 4 cyl and its much more stable and durable
Love driving this in autobahn
The new 3 Door st looks a lot better than the 5 door
Engine sound doesn't come from the speakers. It uses a sound symposer which is just air pulses caused by the turbo which is then pushed into the cabin. Like the MK7
Nice👍👍
It's sound like a little 6 cylinder or It is Only a my impression? Why Ford don't built a version with an automatic transmission? In 2019 yuo must give an alternative choise for a buyer!
They have one
Shame this interior etc. is NOT available in the US... (WHY)...
Let's all do our part: call or write Ford US Customer Relationship Center and tell them what their American customers want. If we all contact them, maybe they'll realize it's a profitable business decision to bring the Mk8 Fiesta ST 6 spd manual transmission to the US/North American market. Wouldn't hurt to ask for the Mk4 Focus ST and/or the Puma ST 6 speed manual as well!

I would like to know if it has a flat shift, and what fuel consumption you can achieve if you drive in normal mode?
Apparently you use about 6.5 -7l of fuel if you use it for daily driving.
If I remember correctly it does indeed have flat shift!
I wait the RS version
I had a Renault Clio RS Trophy. that car consumed a lot of fuel.
what about the fuel consumption with the Fiesta ST ?
Well mate, I have owned one of these for a year and a half now. Last week I completed a 220 mile trip at 49.6mpg (UK). If they are driven normal throttle around town I'd expect around 35-40mpg BUT, with a lot of fun included around 34-35...Still really surprising how good it is on fuel. I have also remapped mine stage 1 including air filter.
Aqui no mercado Brasileiro não tem essa versão!
Does it have rev match?
i watch on Mercedes-Benz S-klass
I’m pissed that ford stopped car production in North America, who’s with me? 😡
You are allowed to go 130 on normal road in Germany??
Should I buy in 2020?
Cool, but the states as always didn't get this one...
I know im a bit late but would this make a good first car? I really like it
if you like it go for it
Yes it does.
Can i cut the wire from the stereo to the engien? cause that will kill me in the end!!
Better than Yaris Grmn?
Shift, slightly lower to the left of the rev center.
Does it 'eat' a lot of gas??
''it's noughty''
I want this car right now :(((
I wish they did a 2.0L 4 cylinder version of the ST. Would love to know how much more HP they could squeeze out of that
Too much i think lol
looks pretty bouncy at high speed
