Driving the nordschleife was probably the most fun car related things ive done the corners are fine but the damn elevation changes where an eye opener. the G-forces and the way the car reacts to it was a new expierence for me
Very well made review Sid! Still a fan of the Mk7 but this Mk8 is a really well made car! You cover all the most important features of the car and the Ring lap was the icing on the cake! Keep with this work mate!
HI, ended up here because your Type R review popped up. Watched a few vids, all good :) I loved the last Fiesta ST, just one of the most fun things on the road. All the best with the channel :)
Mk 7.5 owner here and I've bit the bullet and just ordered my ST 3 in magnetic grey with exactly the same spec as the one you showcased. Can't wait to get my hands on it!!
I personally think the mk8 looks better from every angle, yes the back is very different to the mk7 but I think it's just grown up.the front looks unreal and it sounds much better. Cant wait to get mine in 6 months
Totally agree mate..I've always had a problem with the back end of the new fiesta ST..looks a lot better when lowered but when sitting on the factory fitted suspension it just don't look aggressive enough unlike the MK 7
Great review. Shows it is a better road car compared to the mk7.5 (especially in the UK). Even if you do a fair few track days 90% of the time you are on the road so that's where it counts. 25K is really steep though.....such a shame really on the price as there's a lot of cars out there for that kind of money. Looks, fun factor and price of the mk7.5 still makes the 7.5 hard to fault in any areas really (other than the ride maybe) so I still think the mk8 has some work to do (needs to depreciate :-) )
Mk7 rear and front imo. I like how slim and funk it looks. I own one. From the back, this kind of looks like a GTI. Interior is superior. I don't like the fact that it has drive modes. I like the whole "get in and go" philosophy. Sport mode is you're foot and shifts.
I’ve got a MK 8 1 litre standard brand new Fiesta whilst my MK 7.5 ST is in the garage, man the interior and infotainment is MILES better! The switch gear is better quality too. The dash is also nice with the screen hmm.. I did test drive the new ST too, it is fast and sporty and feels more grown up, hmm but 25k...
I've got a mk8 st line but I'm doing a 48 hour test drive from ford this weekend and I'm sold the fiesta St is brilliant sooooooo good so I'm going to buy a 3 door next year at 2 in race red with performance pack can't wait .great vid again m8
It’s a good looking car with sweet performance for a 3 cylinder.Only problem being a 3 cylinder it won’t tune up very good.I guess the top end is pants being a 3 cylinder
The front end of Fords look more aggressive and Aston Martin like as Ford own Aston so the grille and bumper is based around that I own the MK8 ST, overall its a better car. Better interior quality, more gadgets, more economical and the exhaust is so much better. You can chuck this in corners and the grip is insane. The LED headlights look brilliant, shame about the rear end but I'm slowly coming round to it. Going to add a diffuser and spoiler lip to add to it.
Not sure if they changed the brakes, I know in North America it has two different brake options, summer tire package comes with the grippier sportier brakes which are super dusty but perform great. All season tire package comes with less dusty normal brakes which people say perform well, but probably not so well for track.
I like the look of the car.. from the front but i totally agree that the rear has let it down. To me the rear looks like a small version of the ford galaxy.
Nice ! I have the same car ! About the oil, do you stick to 5W20 as Ford recommends, or can we go to 15W50... or even 10W-60 without risking the oil pump ?
I'm thinking of getting one in this colour don't know what to go for 3 door or five wahts your thoughts having driven both of them does it feel the same driving the 5 door????
Sideways Sid nice one! I’ve currently got a mk7 st with mountune 215 + mountune exhaust. Loving it but really want the RS 😝 love your reviews, good work 👍
Apologies, late comment on the rear styling. As with the lesser models it really does miss the high up light clusters. it's just too bland there now and could be anything..
I want to buy a car for me till the end of this year. Atm I'm leaning towards either the Fiesta ST or Hyundai i30 N. From a driving perspective, which one do you prefer? Is the Hyundai worth the price difference? Thanks in advance!
Ilysm and I Respect U Sid! Hru Today! Great Work on The B479 at Burg Ring! Keep it Up AF! And I'm Proud of Myself Subbing to You Already Supporting You AF! Sid I'm Gonna Bid You a Goodnight From Me Alex The Ford Transit Minibuses Lover! Good Night!🌃🏴x
London Cars and Games I’d probably say roughly 15%. It’s not fake, it makes the same noise as what it sound like from the outside. It’s just because the refinement is better improved - it’s needed.
Still I should say, 25 grand for a new too spec Fiesta ST, the new Mercedes AMG A35 starts from around 35k... the A45 rumoured to be 45K.. the ST seems a bargain.
@@cyborgxcyborgx Black looks great in a showroom, but once you start driving it in the real world, you'll be spending more at the carwash than at the fuel pumps.
There's no replacement for displacement. Top end is important for petrol power units. It's impressive but I think battery power is what is needed to really give these hot hatches the edge and reliability. I don't think these power units will see 70kmiles.

So impressed by the sound some of these 3 cylinder engines produce.
It was a fun few days with the little Fiesta ST. A very grown up package 👍🏽. But you can still behave badly when you want to 😈
The rear end looks like an MPV 🤣
Sideways Sid you still haven’t told us which st you prefer, the mk7 or mk8? Like to know your thoughts.
Driving the nordschleife was probably the most fun car related things ive done the corners are fine but the damn elevation changes where an eye opener. the G-forces and the way the car reacts to it was a new expierence for me
dont care Yeah. Totally agree. The track is mega 👌🏽. I wanna go back in the GT4 for a proper goon!
This was a great video, need more content from you Sid. Always a good watch.
Sick video sid more like this broski
LivingLifeFast Thanks bro 👊🏽. Need to bang them out 🏁
I love how he apologised for not ‘driving his normal self’, yet doing more than most of us can or would dare to do already😂😂
I’m a serious fan of the new shape fiestas!
Good content too Sid
Cheers man 👍🏽
I love the understated look at the rear, I say 'underated' it does to me still look stylish and however sometimes less is more.
the rear is classier than most of the competition, quality rather than boy racer
These small cars have come a long way, it looked completely relaxed and stable at 144mph! Doesn’t pull on my want strings though
Very well made review Sid! Still a fan of the Mk7 but this Mk8 is a really well made car! You cover all the most important features of the car and the Ring lap was the icing on the cake! Keep with this work mate!

This is an awesome video! I’d love to take mine to the ring 😬
I'm about to buy one myself now! Had a test drive, it literally blown me away!!! Thanks for vdeio!
Loving your videos mate,always give good honest reviews,keep up the good work!

Great quality video, you are a great presentator.
It’s a good looking car with sweet performance for a 3 cylinder.Only problem being a 3 cylinder it won’t tune up very good.I guess the top end is pants being a 3 cylinder
Be interesting to see what a Stage 1 can produce, that engine sounds great to.
Yes more please but remember you name didn’t see any mad driving 🙈💨💨💨
Great review. First time I’ve seriously thought about upgrading...
Cracking video Sid, more to come please!
Probably the best st review so far
You finally done it!
I was there a couple weeks back. With the GP!
Like this! Maybe next time you can let us see more footage of the ring and the roads around it
yes the back, does look abit SUV like, but as a package, this car is fantastic, top of the competition
Brilliant video, absolutely loving your content!
Had a little race with one of these in my EP3 the other day, quick things I could only just keep up!
Really enjoy your videos man keep at it.
Would love to see you review a Suzuki swift sport wether that be a 2012-2017 or a 2018- model
The front end of Fords look more aggressive and Aston Martin like as Ford own Aston so the grille and bumper is based around that
I own the MK8 ST, overall its a better car. Better interior quality, more gadgets, more economical and the exhaust is so much better. You can chuck this in corners and the grip is insane.

"hell folks" check ur description bruv. Great video though you just keep going from strength to strength
Great review! Keep them honest. Love to hear you talking cars...driver's cars. Cheers
Thanks for the review again. When U made those handbrake turns in previous video, I had to order this. 5-door Shadow Black ST coming!
Spoolin´ Shirley No worries. Glad to hear you bought one through the vid 👍🏽
I bought myself a shadow black one too, but 3-door. Should arrive in december. Cant wait….
Should have done a POV on the ring mate, great vid tho👍
ITS TEASING MEEEEEEEEE. It's not coming to the states, sadly. Guess i'll enjoy my MK7 Fiesta ST... just gona revo rt330 it
ruclips.net/video/2T5bFIJ3n74/видео.html
This guy sums it up pretty well 😊
Getting one in exact this configuration with only 12,000 km on it pumped! What brake upgrade do you recommend ?
Will you be reviewing the new 2022 facelift fiesta ST-3, I’m interested in your opinions, 10% more torque, new styling & new Ford seats? Thanks......
Nice ! I have the same car ! About the oil, do you stick to 5W20 as Ford recommends, or can we go to 15W50... or even 10W-60 without risking the oil pump ?
When r u going review the new ctr? Been waiting on that, would like to see your thoughts.
Hermoso auto y ustedes los de ese país que lo tienen y lo pueden disfrutar. lastima que ya no llego a México.
US enthusiasts are being denied this car and it really makes me cross. I currently own a MK 7 and would have considered upgrading.
Nice video mate. Fiesta ST or the Hyundai i30N?
Am also interrested with the oppinion.
I'm thinking of getting one in this colour don't know what to go for 3 door or five wahts your thoughts having driven both of them does it feel the same driving the 5 door????
What's the insurance cost like ?
Cool video, but I missed the comparison to the mk 7 in the conclusion...
its a 3 pot so it sounds better than the mk7 so its better , job done sorted your welcome
Nice one thanks! Can you do a focus rs review please 👍
I’ll try and get my hands on a heritage edition.
Sideways Sid nice one! I’ve currently got a mk7 st with mountune 215 + mountune exhaust. Loving it but really want the RS 😝 love your reviews, good work 👍
Apologies, late comment on the rear styling. As with the lesser models it really does miss the high up light clusters. it's just too bland there now and could be anything..
Hi sid i have got a fiesta st mk8 about to get the mountune mp235 tune cant find any videos on youtube reviewing this would you like to
I think this is much better looking than the mk7
I want to buy a car for me till the end of this year. Atm I'm leaning towards either the Fiesta ST or Hyundai i30 N. From a driving perspective, which one do you prefer? Is the Hyundai worth the price difference? Thanks in advance!
Great video Sid! That's pretty much the exact same spec as mine! Any chance of an in depth review?
Bruno Brites Nice one. Great colour choice, that’s it for the minute pal.
Until next time.
Great vid fella, love the new FST.
Cheers man. It’s a good bit of kit 👍🏽
Sideways Sid was pleased to finally get a go and review when only the other week. Would love to throw it around some of the UK circuits too.
Must be the night time lighting + the spec but that looks amazing (not the questionable rear though)
Ilysm and I Respect U Sid! Hru Today! Great Work on The B479 at Burg Ring! Keep it Up AF! And I'm Proud of Myself Subbing to You Already Supporting You AF! Sid I'm Gonna Bid You a Goodnight From Me Alex The Ford Transit Minibuses Lover! Good Night!🌃🏴x
Wish we were getting this in the states
That's a nice B Max
sid what's your thoughts on the 600lt bruh?
phantom2k10 Love it!! I wanna drive one so bad!
How many B&O speakers and how do they perform?
Someone done a 8:24 round the ring already love to see the official lap times though:-)
2 Door Mk7 in black looks better and meaner!smaller looking and an angry little Guppy front!owned one a for year.
Love the rear end! subjective.
Do you have a % of how much the actual engine sound is synthesized from within the car?
London Cars and Games I’d probably say roughly 15%. It’s not fake, it makes the same noise as what it sound like from the outside.
It’s just because the refinement is better improved - it’s needed.
I get you , good % , thanks for the reply .
"...steering....numb, not that much feedback or feel...but...I don't know....it's got some nice feedback to it".
Yeah I was like wtf 😂😂😂
Needs some aftermarket bits on the exterior😋
What we need is another focus st 5 cylinder and with 4wd
I take it you prefer the 3 door?
3:34 "one of the right-hand corners" lol
Liked before even watched ☺️
Wait, Sid going straight?
Same as the mk3 focus rs can't tell between the Tdci, St
Cool review
looks like a sporty b max, can't get used to it,
Still I should say, 25 grand for a new too spec Fiesta ST, the new Mercedes AMG A35 starts from around 35k... the A45 rumoured to be 45K.. the ST seems a bargain.
Its not eorth £25,000 its overpriced asf.
Jake Lamotta you can easily get 3 grand off no probs making this the performance bargain nothing comes close at this price point
How’s the ride quality on the road upto the mk7
Damo 666 About 50% better from the previous generation Car. It’s good 👍🏽
Sideways Sid My 17 plate ST mk7 is not a hard ride, but is bouncy I think the word is often quite twitchy
They definitely look best in Magnetic Grey, but the five doors isn’t a good look 🤢🤮
Three door in black looks mint
Magnetic is a no go dude. Black is the best colour on this car
@@cyborgxcyborgx Black looks great in a showroom, but once you start driving it in the real world, you'll be spending more at the carwash than at the fuel pumps.
Apart from the twin exhaust pipe, bumper and ST badge, it's hard to tell it's an ST🙄
Personally I think the new model looks way better
Rear looks like c/b max
I feel like a MK7 Shell with all the internals of this MK8 would be perfect.
There's no replacement for displacement. Top end is important for petrol power units. It's impressive but I think battery power is what is needed to really give these hot hatches the edge and reliability. I don't think these power units will see 70kmiles.
This guy kind of reminds me of Kai W camera guy ha
Lewis Hamilton etc .?
I like the MK7 more
The wheels aren’t part of the performance pack
Check out my video of me in my Mk7 ST200 chasing my friend in his new mk8 ST200 👍🏻
It just reminds me of a c max
Inspiration and Motivation Lol
Prefer my Mk7 ST200 not a fan of the MK 8 at all. I think next couple of years I’ll be getting an Audi or BMW
Curious about the paint is it as shit as the previous generations
That was 140 as he changes up to sixth 🤦♂️😂😂
Great looking car apart for its arse end looks like a family saloon takes away the festa feel and looks rather boring .
