The issue with those 3 cylinder motors in the Fiesta and Focus is that they have a wet belt timing setup which holds up about as well as you would expect a belt that spends it's entire life bathed in engine oil would. If the belt slips or breaks, you bend valves. If it starts coming apart, the pieces can plug the oil pickup and starve the engine of oil. On top of that, most people don't know that they need to service the belt (which isn't cheap) and when the engine dies, they are hit with a bill for a $4K engine + install.
I believe someone upbadged that one. It does r have the rear disk brakes that only the STs of that generation have. And the engine in that one is a 2.0, not the 2.3 that is found in the STs
"That is not your normal Fiesta"
Meanwhile here in Europe that is the very normal Fiesta configuration. :-)

I think you're getting the SVT and the ST Focuses confused. This looks like just a base model.
