I'm back at Mountune to have the axle-back exhaust system installed on my Focus RS, but in the mean time it would have been rude not to take the MR265 Fiesta ST out for a little drive on some of the tightest countryside roads I could find.

Shmee150 Can you please take an F-Type SVR for a testdrive or say anything about it in your next video? Many people want to know what you thinks about that car! Thank you 🏁
Hot Hatches are likely the best blend of daily livability and performance. Easy to drive, park, fuel efficient, fill it with friends, haul you dog around, cheap insurance, cheap parts, quick, tune-able, and great handling. Smiles for days.
Small cars with a boost in power are so much fun & are the perfect start to performance vehicles for many in their 20's. Remember 10 years ago when the Saxo was being tuned and improved. I miss those things.
I would too but i got the Polo R and did software upgrade plus IC and exhaust and now i push 304 hp in that thing. That thing is crazy now, though Alooot of torque steer
Howni Seal Polo R? The only Polo R that exists in the R-Line that pushes 108bhp stock, how on earth did you get that to 308 from a software tune and an exhaust?
You might be right. But it has the same shape and practicality as a hot hatch. So until a car manufacturer actually calls it a new class i would say it´s the fastest hot hatch on earth.
I've got the Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost which produces 140BHP and I must agree with you Tim, it feels like a go-kart, so I can imagine what the MR265 is like! Such a fun little package!
Red edition checking in. Love my 140. But I have been lucky enough to drive the 235 Mountune ST and I can confirm its absolutely a joy to drive. Only thing I had was after a few hours the stiff suspension gets really old. Was pretty happy to get my very comfy 140 back :-)
Tim I'm glad to see your appreciation of all types of cars, considering you can afford just about any car you desire. I also am looking at Mountune to relieve my itch of tuning my RS. Another great vid!
265hp plus 1085kg is a very serious package.... I'm surprised your surprised how good it is.... these things are giant slayers... i know your used to the big hitters now days but this is a very serious performance car / package for the average man. Excellent cars , i had an st3 model and i still think its one of the best vehicles I've owned and I've had some tasty motors!!
Glad to see you making proper blogs again with car review etc , I can see why so many modern fords are stolen very quickly though , the ease at which you can locate the OBD port is shocking best get an OBD port locking device
Bought a 2016 Ford Focus se 2.0 handles great has a great shifter feel and the powers all up top so it feels like it's always pulling even though it's not fast lol
I was seriously considering a Fiesta as my first car, sadly Ford cars weren't selling well compared to Toyotas and Hondas, they left the country before I could ever test drive one..
Yeah! Finally Fiesta video on Shme150 channel. I enjoyed it a lot! I do have 2016 Fiesta Titanium with 1.0 100 BHP EcoBoost and it is also an awesome car :)
I need to add one more thing as a Ford and Fiesta especially big fan. Shme150 channel is one of my favourites and now finally it has an awesome Fiesta video! I had fingers crossed when Tim was buying Focus RS and then I commented that on one of my favourite channels there is finally Ford content. Now it is also a Fiesta content! :D Hey Tim do Buy a Mustang GT 350R instead of Mercedes it will be truly awesome ;).
i love accessports. such a great little tuning tool. i think, as of right now, you can get them for subaru, porsche, ford, mitsubishi, nissan, and vw. very nice to be able to change maps on the fly for fuel, boost, timing, etc. ive used them in a number of cars to be able to tune for e85.
Can you please take an F-Type SVR for a testdrive or say anything about it in your next video? Many people want to know what you thinks about that car! Thank you 🏁
Raees Qaisir the mp215 kit is £599 plus fitting, not sure how much they'll quote me as I want mp215 + fitting as well as fitting of their cat back exhaust and I also want them to do my first service
LOL what a fun little car! I mean for the money the Fiesta ST is actually a great deal. I think these little cars are great for High Schoolers or College kids on a budget.
Cool video Tim, I love hot hatches, I would love to see more hot hatch content from you if possible. Yes, they're not as rare as some of the cars you drive, but they can be just as exciting in the right place and time!
I nearly financed one of these last year. Test drove it (did 110mph with encouragement from the Ford saleswoman lol) you feel really confident and connected to the car straight away. I liked it. I decided to hold off however (was like hmmm about car finance) and save some more cash and thought I'd get a mint EP3 Civic Type R instead. I'm still kind of tempted by the ST however and if I can get a cracking deal as the new Fiesta is on it's way then I just might get one. I'd definitely do the MP215 and cat back exhaust too!
I also do think that this Fiesta will fit very well to his car collection. What I would advice is buying this Fiesta, Mustang GT 350 R and along with Ford GT and Focus RS it would be a very nice Ford collection :D - but it just my opinion or rather my dream collection of cars ;)
I had a Fiesta ST2 running REVO Stage 2. Traded in for a new S3, then after 6 months I traded it in for a new Fiesta ST3. The Golf R's and S3's are fantastic well built cars. Lightning quick however.... They seriously lack character :(
Please do those of us in the world that don't get the Skyline and please find someone with an R34! They were way ahead of their time and are still great cars! All I can do is hope...
I see the fiesta as the modern equivalent of the 2000-2006 civic type r ep3, awesome fun and affordable. I think 265 is too much for tyres to handle in these conditions. could you limit boost in lower gears to reduce slip?
I'm back at Mountune to have the axle-back exhaust system installed on my Focus RS, but in the mean time it would have been rude not to take the MR265 Fiesta ST out for a little drive on some of the tightest countryside roads I could find.
Shmee150 movlogs is in London will do a joint video with him

+Peer K I've already asked if it's possible to get one for a test drive but no availability so far
any more info on that front brake package? that looks wicked?

DCassidy42 don’t know why these arnt more popular here in America
cody morand Our drivers hate driving.

It's great that Shmee continues to discover the virtues of cheaper fun cars that are more attainable.
Time to make a Road to a New Haircut vid.
lenhister 😂😂😂
Supercuts of London
Yeah, he should then do the top 10 things I hate about my haircut...
Would actually prefer this over a Mini Cooper S or Polo GTI!
I would too but i got the Polo R and did software upgrade plus IC and exhaust and now i push 304 hp in that thing. That thing is crazy now, though Alooot of torque steer
statesidesupercars That's the general consensus, yeah, that for the mini hot-hatches the Fiesta is king.

Howni Seal They dont know the limited wrc;) drive one too
Howni Seal Polo R? The only Polo R that exists in the R-Line that pushes 108bhp stock, how on earth did you get that to 308 from a software tune and an exhaust?
Must be a party to drive that ST!
Your Ferrari FF is a hot hatch.
Denis Spratt I think it's a little op to be in the hot hatch segment, it's more a hyper hatch
You might be right.
But it has the same shape and practicality as a hot hatch.
So until a car manufacturer actually calls it a new class i would say it´s the fastest hot hatch on earth.
Denis Spratt shooting brake?
New Bentley continental supersport
Maybe but Mercedes has a CLS and CLA Shooting Brake and they has four doors.
I've got the Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost which produces 140BHP and I must agree with you Tim, it feels like a go-kart, so I can imagine what the MR265 is like! Such a fun little package!
OIanO great cars the 1liter. a lot of fun for a tiny engine, I was very surprised with mine!
I also do have one (2016 Titanium 1.0 100 BHP) and it is truly awesome. I just love it! Even this 100BHP one fills really nice in my opinion.
got a 125 zs, the engine is a dream. so happy with it, dont even think id swap to an st
Red edition checking in. Love my 140. But I have been lucky enough to drive the 235 Mountune ST and I can confirm its absolutely a joy to drive. Only thing I had was after a few hours the stiff suspension gets really old. Was pretty happy to get my very comfy 140 back :-)
any opinions on the 1.6 zs?, considering buying one
I love my little A1 with 185 and that feels like a ton of power! Can't imagine 265
Agreed 215bhp in my St and that's enough for me on these roads. Still smile after 3 yrs of having it
Tim I'm glad to see your appreciation of all types of cars, considering you can afford just about any car you desire. I also am looking at Mountune to relieve my itch of tuning my RS. Another great vid!
I bought myself the 2016 Ford Fiesta 1.6L EcoBoost GDTi last week and it is by far one of the best cars that I've driven for its price.
265hp plus 1085kg is a very serious package.... I'm surprised your surprised how good it is.... these things are giant slayers... i know your used to the big hitters now days but this is a very serious performance car / package for the average man. Excellent cars , i had an st3 model and i still think its one of the best vehicles I've owned and I've had some tasty motors!!
I like the surprise in your voice when you say a ford fiesta with 265bhp is really quick.
Glad to see you making proper blogs again with car review etc , I can see why so many modern fords are stolen very quickly though , the ease at which you can locate the OBD port is shocking best get an OBD port locking device
Bought a 2016 Ford Focus se 2.0 handles great has a great shifter feel and the powers all up top so it feels like it's always pulling even though it's not fast lol
I like the badge placement in the lower front grill, slick.
Enjoying the hot hatch/tuned car vid's Tim, even though its a bit out your 'comfort zone'
I was seriously considering a Fiesta as my first car, sadly Ford cars weren't selling well compared to Toyotas and Hondas, they left the country before I could ever test drive one..

Hey Tim do Buy a Mustang GT 350R instead of Mercedes it will be truly awesome ;).
This was a way more interesting video than any of the exotic car videos
Totally agree
Was it just me or at 2:40 when Tim opened the bonnet did we just know it was a bad Idea . Cuz he didn't know what most of it was only joking 😂😂😂😂
That ST is mad 😍
That fiesta looked like pure fun!
That's why I love my ST :)
i love accessports. such a great little tuning tool. i think, as of right now, you can get them for subaru, porsche, ford, mitsubishi, nissan, and vw. very nice to be able to change maps on the fly for fuel, boost, timing, etc. ive used them in a number of cars to be able to tune for e85.
Seems like a lot of fun!
Would love to see you test drive a standard one to compare it!
Yeah I agree that would be awesome to check out! I love this idea.
Cant wait to get my ST!!
Excellent video Tim!
Great video I love the ST
hi Tim
expecting the channel to reach the magic number of a million by mid March maybe :)
Rikhav Shah bit quick
Wheres the GT4 when you need it, oh wait its sold
true trur
I never used to watch Shmee, found the videos a bit boring, but this was awesome. Nice driving!
I think a 718 boxter would fit perfectly in his collection
you need to drive more hot hatches. great video.
I am considering taking my fiesta to montune
DO IT!
Got to love Fast Fords
@Shmee150 Got the MP215 on my little Fiesta ST....bloody awesome 😂👍
THANKS TIM
Can you please take an F-Type SVR for a testdrive or say anything about it in your next video?
Many people want to know what you thinks about that car!
Thank you 🏁
+Peer K I've already asked if it's possible to get one for a test drive but no availability so far
Wow a proper hot hatch, perfect for me being 21!! Can only hope and dream lol
My ST will be going to mountune for the mp215 pack in the next month, until I buy all the hardware for this pack, this video made me very excited!
James Chaundy how much does it cost ?
Raees Qaisir the mp215 kit is £599 plus fitting, not sure how much they'll quote me as I want mp215 + fitting as well as fitting of their cat back exhaust and I also want them to do my first service
LOL what a fun little car! I mean for the money the Fiesta ST is actually a great deal. I think these little cars are great for High Schoolers or College kids on a budget.
Lol, how do you think they're going to afford such a car? They're not cheap!
You need to get one!
I have the MP215, even that is a smile maker.
Would tha recommend mi gerrin an st then ricky, av bin evin a look at a few, ad like to get one n tune it to abart 300bhp
@Mattejko what do you mean what???
@Mattejko because i were asking a question to bfc ricky which he his from barnsley. I were speaking to him in barnsley lingo that's why
Welcome to the world of modifying cars Tim haha
Just go all out on the Focus would love to see that
Cool video Tim, I love hot hatches, I would love to see more hot hatch content from you if possible. Yes, they're not as rare as some of the cars you drive, but they can be just as exciting in the right place and time!
Awesome wish you could get this in US!
I've got a Fiesta Zetec S 125 so the MR165 pack looks to be the one for me !
@2:50 that is an ac compressor not a hybrid turbo
😃
Torque Pro on Android with a Bluetooth OBD2 receiver gives some nice performance displays and logging. Use it all the time on my Focus ST.
wish we could get the 3 door in the states

Richard Hurr Ford actually have 0% Apr right now so it's a great time to get one.
Lawsyy 1 yeah that's over 2 years. 3 years it's 2.9%
Richard Hurr you can get them for around £180 a month with no deposit
I'm in love with that st
Go Karts must be so popular in the UK!
White Fiesta and bronze wheels = win
i have the 1.0L ecoboost fiesta, great little cars
Next purchase Tim? This little pocket rocket? It's like a mini RS 😂
it should be his mini replacement
No this isn't on the radar for me, fun to drive though
I also do think that this Fiesta will fit very well to his car collection. What I would advice is buying this Fiesta, Mustang GT 350 R and along with Ford GT and Focus RS it would be a very nice Ford collection :D - but it just my opinion or rather my dream collection of cars ;)
You have some serious gear shifting skills S, good 1 Mate :)
i like the Fiesta seems to be well sorted a bit surprised it isn't even faster to 60 no weight good hp
Front wheel drive. Manual gearbox - the spacing means you have to change into 3rd for 60. It's not optimized for 0-60 time.
I want one of these as my first car
Peak Performance Reviews ok that's irrelevant to me because I'm poor
Jordan good luck
Suspension looks very firm. Although this is the max tuning package...
My first car was a ford fiesta - purple dream
I bet 30-80 on a dry day it's about as quick as the RS. The 0-60 time is purely down to lack of traction off the line, especially in the wet.
just got rid of my fiesta st was good on the twisty roads but round town it was bumpy as hell . just got a golf r dsg now 😆🖒
Mark Tuff both best in their respective classes in my opinion. Good choice
Cheers mate 🖒
About to sell my ST too.. I have a new S3 on order
Joe Hammerton even better
I had a Fiesta ST2 running REVO Stage 2.
Traded in for a new S3, then after 6 months I traded it in for a new Fiesta ST3.
The Golf R's and S3's are fantastic well built cars.
Lightning quick however....
They seriously lack character :(
There is always a point to more power in a tiny car, but you need to widebody or big turbo if you dont like spinning tires or torque steer.
Hi Shmee, I'm guys!
Guys Shmee, I'm Hi
a new exhaust on that will sound nice
This all looks great, the fuel cap is pretty garish though :P
It's called a bonnet!!
that's a decent amount of bang for your buck at 4.5k ish
cheers.
Had a fiST 215. I miss it
Did the upgraded Cars, still have the +20 Bhp overboost?
How strange, the car is from my local ford dealer in Bridlington East Yorkshire. Surprised to see that!
Please do those of us in the world that don't get the Skyline and please find someone with an R34! They were way ahead of their time and are still great cars! All I can do is hope...
God you love a fleece
Should the mp215 kit include the controller too? bpught an fiesta with mp215 kit but it didnt have the controller inside the car
maybe you could try a qiulia quadrofoglio as your new car!
That looks a lot of fun, the car needs a diff though!
Damn that lisp
I see the fiesta as the modern equivalent of the 2000-2006 civic type r ep3, awesome fun and affordable. I think 265 is too much for tyres to handle in these conditions. could you limit boost in lower gears to reduce slip?
TBH i would rather you buy one of these over an amg as it would add in diversity
Cheers
It's not 'just' a Fiesta...it's a wee car with poke!!!!
Welche Felgen sind verbaut? Farbe?
Which wheel to be on the Fiesta ST? paint? Size?
You have to get a hold of the VW Clubsport S, most insane hatch at the moment
Would you get the controller on the MP215?
I would love to have one of these hot hatches, but I doubt I will ever get my hands on one.
Why not, they're very affordable
Fiesta ST>Focus RS in the real world ;)
As a new car, i am just putting "maserati quattroporte" out there :D
Shame there is no Mountune dealer in my country :/ Would love to do this to mine.
Oooh wet and slippy Tim ;)
Do mountune still do this 265 pack?
Not too sure about them gold rims 🤔🤔
I agree. I think a set of Fifteen52 Turbomacs would have suited this perfectly.
Great little car for the value, best bang for the buck. But I guess you'll always find people to complain about something.
hi, for the actual model with 200 hp, i know that exists a mr230 mountune kit.the mr265 also available for actual model ?
Yeah there should be, and also there is a mr280 / mr285 kit but for some reason I can't see past mr230 on the site at the moment. Maybe supply issue
This guys got more money than fashion sense
Was this filmed just outside Billericay in Essex? I recognise the roads from the first part of your video!
Sam Hutchinson Looks like Hutton/Shenfield :)
This is a very late reply. He was initially driving at Wash Road (from Mountune HQ), heading towards the Mountnessing Roundabout.
