Keep the videos coming
Just got recommended your channel after disagreeing with Carwow’s review and My God your so much younger but soooo much more knowledgeable than Matt re dynamics. Extremely impressed, very articulate. Well done! Got a 👍🏽 and a new fan.
Ford has done it again! . Any worries, or problems you thought about the new one. DON'T WORRY, it's better and more grownup. Plus it sounds awesome! 🙌🏽
Sideways Sid You could tell me if the stability control is 100% undoable. It does not come under any circumstance if you remove it in the button. Thank you. very good video
@@bjwal6 i testdrove the MK8. For me interiuer does not matter that much. I also testdrove the MK7 ST200. Both on racetracks, both great cars. But in my opinion the MK7 is a bit more funny. But the MK8 is also awesome!
I work for Ford and initially when we were called in for a meeting to first see the new shapes I was like mehh. Then when I finally got my hands on one (we get them gfot company cars) they are brilliant. Yes the back end needs to be a bit more aggressive but honestly the new shapes are brilliant. Higher build quality, the interior is spot on, voice control, apple car play, sat nav and a touch screen multi media system. The seating position is spot on. The suspension is not as firm. Ford have build the new gen for more mature people so they’re a lot more practical. With the LEDs and styling pack it looks👌🏻 AND it’s so much cheaper than a Polo GTI
Fun on the road is where I'm at now. It was great owning the super-saloons and coupes but I've now bought an Up GTi and having a blast on B roads now. These cars excite me more than supercars.
I was thinking about the new Polo GTI but my MK7 told me to order a ST again and so I did. Including Performance package. Delivery, hopefully within 3 months.
Sideways Sid i did so too. Delivery in 6 Weeks :) Not sure about the Color. I took Red. Can still change... Blue looks nice too. White is a bit boring on mk8
Great review, glad I found your channel! I ordered the Mk8 ST two weeks ago, it will join my RS Mk2 as a daily driver and it its good to hear that Ford once more nailed it!
Good video Sid you rounded that up real well, personally I think the front end looks smart, but the previous gen had a much more appealing rear end, but the exhaust sounds like it has more character from stock, overall I think Ford did a good job again 👍
Finally a great review about this car. Thanks a lot, keep up the good work. I think a lot of us car relate to you about the way we want the car to feel
Looks like a B-Max at the rear, so not a huge fan of the styling. 1 less cylinder and a smaller capacity which is actually bad because the fiesta st community love to modify their cars and I doubt you'll see 300+ bhp from these. I imagine tuning options will be a bit more limited
If you take a look at what some tunners were getting from a 1.0 ecoboost 3 cylinder engine, then my guess is you'll get tunners getting 300bhp from this displacement. Though I do agree it will be limited for now, untill they develop better understanding for tuning capacity in terms of what can be done with a 3 cylinder turbo charged engine.
Great quality video and review! I disagree with your dismissal of the Abarth but the American spec car is slightly different and much cheaper than what you guys get. No fiesta or focus ST for us on this side of the pond anymore.
Jason Lillis Fair enough. I don't get 500 Abarth's other than the fact that do not have the precision or handling capabilities compared to the others. But over your side, I suppose it makes better sense 👍🏽
If Carlsberg did car reviews! 👍 Only thing I’d add personally is the Polo GTI is the closest contender to the ST, it has the same 0-60 & has a better interior, however it doesn’t sound as good and bogs down when you throttle it.
this video is still excellent, everything is perfect and on point from the cinematography and editing to the information on offer and the way you deliver it.
You really reming me of Chris Harris mate and i'm not saying that in a bad way....Not many motoring Jurnalists have Chris excitement and driving skill when they test cars.I really loved your presentation and driving!Well done!
The only thing I'd want on my mk7 st is lower seats, sometimes it does feel like an awkward position so that's a good thing on this mk8. But overall I'm happy with my mk7 and won't be upgrading to this. I like the lower wider stance and interior is nice. I'd rather keep mk7 also knowing that it can be modded reliably to very high power, that cylinder deactivation puts me off this new one. I also like how the styling doesn't make the old one feel outdated with similar side profile and front end. Overall it definitely looks all good but for me it's not enough different from old one but it's great for people new to the fiesta ST. I'll keep my mk7 another 5 years or so and maybe just add mods
Thanks for the review. I live in a country where the vaunted Ford hot hatches are not available, so reviews like this make me sort of live the experience by proxy even though I end up green with envy. Well done! I do have a next closest thing: a Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost with lowered sports suspension, (and ST bodykit) which is quite playful and entertaining especially compared to the boring many (read: japanese cars). However I do agree with you and other mk7/7.5 fans/owners that the new rear end look too pedestrian. I also prefer the wheels, side skirt, spoiler and rear diffuser of the old ST to this new one.
Sadly the day is not coming with Ford shutting down small car sales in North America and other markets where their pickups, SUVs and crossovers outsell their small cars like here. We may never even see these next generation Fiesta and Foci. Therefore, the only performance Ford to look forward to is the Mustang (uh review pls?) ... though Im not fond of cars with long bonnets, having had a Nissan Silvia before. Not ideal for tight urban maneuvers and nosing out other cars in traffic gridlock melee. Of course there is the Golf GTI (but a generation late), or used Peugeot 208 GTI
Cracking review sir! Really contemplating getting one of these, looks like it has the best of both worlds now. More up market on the inside but still a fun car to drive.
Very well rounded and thorough review Sid! As you say Ford are going to shift a boat load of these. Still unsure on the engine.....not the 3 cylinder but the cylinder deactivation down to 2. Seems over complicated. Looking forward to testing one of these. 👍🏼
Paul Marsh Thanks mate. Glad you like the vid. Again it's one that Tuners are gonna sceptical about. But that's a completely different topic all together 👍🏽.
Thank you so much for your review, I have the now old ST like you and was worried about the new one, I’ll have to drive it to see how it handles UK roads, I’ve heard the new steering can put you off? The new infotainment system is a big improvement. I was told to watch your review after the Car Wow one, you have a sub from me as your knowledge is spot on mate, describing how it handles and loads up is great 👍
I would be disappointed owning one. I have a 2018 Focus RS. But I wish it had the fuel economy, cheaper Tyers, lower insurance. But the fun....Fantastic !
An informative, in depth review from someone who knows their Fiesta ST's. I was waiting for the punch line until the end............ Which never came! Will you be spending your own hard earned on one?
What I don't like about the new Polo GTI/Clio RS models is the fact that they are(for now at least) automatic only. I don't want a car like that to be automatic
So are you going to trade your MK7 in or are you undecided until testing it in the UK? Might be a good idea to have a back to back test of the MK8 vs a MP215 MK7. Would certainly be interesting. Also subbed
cater anytink I've been itching to get my hands on an I30N. To be honest mate I'm struggling to find one. But the I do (Believe you me!) a film we'll be done on it. 👍🏽
INCREDIBLE!... best new Fiesta ST review ive seen so far! so glad that its as fun to drive as the previous one! tbh the softer bushings in the new one is just going to allow it to ride along our bumpy B roads even better without loosing composure. And oh btw, in ur drifting clip at the last 11:05, the inside rear wheels locked up nicely but the outer rear wheel was still spining, is that normal, or does the hand brake not lock up both rear tires equally???
Rejoice Rone Thanks man. Very well spotted 😈. It might be cause I didn't yank it hard enough 🏁. It will be super interested to see how it fairs out in the UK. But so far. It's mega!
It's just because the weight is transferred to the outside wheel and therefore more rotational force (not sure if that's the 'correct' term) is applied to the outside causing it to overcome the braking force.
I’m really interested in the mk8 had my Mk7 a year and insurance is still crazy. Where as this is £500 a year cheaper! Love the way the MK7 drives I’m 20 so the stiff ride really doesn’t bother me. I can just imagine this is a far better all rounder from standard.
I would still get a Clio RS because of looks, interior, engine and I don’t think it is way of in terms of fun to drive or performance ! But I am French and I own a Clio Tce 90 so maybe I am a bit buyest ? I would love to see a test of the Clio trophy by you although it is the end of the Clio 4 career
So although they are very different cars, cost-wise I suppose this is up against the i30N. This looks awesome, but I think the i30N is a bit more 'grown up'.
@ Sid: I care about the cabin i owned a 2015 Fiesta ST 2 for a year and i would of loved a bigger choice of interior panel covers there's just too many bland black plastic car interiors on the market and a sunroof option or would a sunroof ruin the cars rigidity? Good review and a proper hard test drive you give the cars Sid,but be careful on the public roads don't generate hate and dislikes from the Eco stop start Warriors! Good Luck with your channel too!
I still prefer the mk7 st, the looks set it apart from the other fiestas but the new mk8 looks too similar to the new fiestas, what do you think? Great vid Sid, keep it up bro👍🏻
OIanO in Sweden we don't have the st 1 2 3 but it is basically a 3 with performance pack with led headlights and the sunroof. It's in the new colour silver fox 😊 I don't have a good date yet. Has been a holiday this weekend here so I hope that dealer has more info the coming week. But the time is a pretty long wait afaik
Tony Magnusson Awesome spec! I've gone for ST3, performance pack, LED headlights, b&o play, and door edge protectors in race red! I went to my dealership today and they had a new ST in their showroom in silver fox it looks great! Got to sit in it and turn it on its going to be amazing and SO worth the wait!!
OIanO I am super excited! Yes I got the upgraded bo play too! I tested it in the ecosport and it sounds very well for the class if car! I was going around and could not decide in colour. But since my dealer told me the fox looks amazing and it was new I was sold! Hope you get yours soon too!
Great review. Really looking forward to test driving this and possibly buying it. I have the mk7 st and looks like all the little issues with the old one have been sorted. I have a odd question though and it's one of my biggest gripes with the current st is the arm rest. It's to get back and not very soft. Is this one further forward and actually a arm rest. Keep up the good work.
Sideways Sid Cool , I misunderstood , I thought you said , you have yet to drive the lsd. I’m toying with the idea of installing it into my 2014 focus ST, or go for a new car ,. I couldn’t really get comfortable in the old FEzza.
Don't forget me when you make it bruh. Video is just insane
LivingLifeFast I'll never forget you mate 🙌🏽. Thanks man 👊🏽
LivingLifeFast like am watching EVO
Sid if yr Eva in Birmingham area then I think I deserve a passenger seat ride , ( after all I am a big fan , I think you come across really mature and professional ,and for your age I think its inspiring , mate I'd even travel to get in a passenger seat with u so give me a nudge sid :). Keep the videos coming
Just got recommended your channel after disagreeing with Carwow’s review and My God your so much younger but soooo much more knowledgeable than Matt re dynamics. Extremely impressed, very articulate. Well done! Got a 👍🏽 and a new fan.
Anthony Dayspring99 Thanks mate and welcome to the channel 🙌🏽
Ford has done it again! . Any worries, or problems you thought about the new one. DON'T WORRY, it's better and more grownup.
Plus it sounds awesome! 🙌🏽
Hand on heart if you had to own this or the old one, which would you choose?
Sideways Sid thanks for the video man . I think it's great for my first car :)
Sideways Sid You could tell me if the stability control is 100% undoable. It does not come under any circumstance if you remove it in the button. Thank you. very good video
@@bjwal6 i testdrove the MK8. For me interiuer does not matter that much. I also testdrove the MK7 ST200. Both on racetracks, both great cars. But in my opinion the MK7 is a bit more funny. But the MK8 is also awesome!
How it is compared with 208 gti by PS or corsa vxr pp?
No you did not just handbrake entry a brand new ST.
You are my hero LOL
Boosted Oh yes mate! . That's how I role mate 😎🙌🏽
I work for Ford and initially when we were called in for a meeting to first see the new shapes I was like mehh. Then when I finally got my hands on one (we get them gfot company cars) they are brilliant. Yes the back end needs to be a bit more aggressive but honestly the new shapes are brilliant.

Ghulam Afzal Is there a Fiesta RS in the pipeline?. 👀
Ghulam Afzal the one thing missing are the half leather seats on the ST2 like the old model, shame they are only offer them on the ST3 trim.
Proper quality this! Keep this up, looking forward to more videos like this.
That 3pot sounds amazing in the flyby shots!
Adam Andersson Thanks man. That 3pot motor sounds amazing!! 🙌🏽
Fun on the road is where I'm at now. It was great owning the super-saloons and coupes but I've now bought an Up GTi and having a blast on B roads now. These cars excite me more than supercars.
Martin Allen Same here. Supercars can be overrated most of the time 😬
Only person I would ever want to see review this car, thanks so much
Charlie Thanks mate. Glad you liked it 🙌🏽
Still one of the best video's of the mk8 Fiesta ST with these TopGear-quality shots
I was thinking about the new Polo GTI but my MK7 told me to order a ST again and so I did. Including Performance package. Delivery, hopefully within 3 months.
Andreas Karlsson Awesome stuff mate!! You'll love it!
Sideways Sid i did so too. Delivery in 6 Weeks :) Not sure about the Color. I took Red. Can still change... Blue looks nice too. White is a bit boring on mk8
I drive a polo 6c gti and oder the Fiesta st mk8. I am so in love with this car :-) Greetings from souerkrautcountry Germany :-D
I can’t understand why this video doesn’t have more views. This is easily the best Fiesta ST review on TH-cam.
Fantastic review and nicely done mate 😃👍
J TheAndroidFreak Thanks man. Glad you liked it 🙌🏽
The engine and drive looks amazing. But the shape of the back end. What have they done to it? It looks more like a Honda jazz than a fiesta.
Production quality of this video is second to none! You’ve earned yourself a sub Sid!
Great review, glad I found your channel! I ordered the Mk8 ST two weeks ago, it will join my RS Mk2 as a daily driver and it its good to hear that Ford once more nailed it!
P1TV Awesome stuff mate. You'll enjoy it as a daily!
Ach was Michel! Kinnlade unten.. bist den schon gefahren?
OMG This has to be the best Car Review i have ever watched !! Keep it up mate
I want to buy this car like crazy and you have made me want it more !!!!
I see potential . A lot a lot of potential. Excellent review 👊🏽
Moey Moe Thank you very much mate.
Good video Sid you rounded that up real well, personally I think the front end looks smart, but the previous gen had a much more appealing rear end, but the exhaust sounds like it has more character from stock, overall I think Ford did a good job again
👍
CARL IS ONIT Thanks mate.
Sideways Sid 👍
A 3-cyl or 5-cyl engine will always, always, sound better than any in-line 4 -- they have a human 'offbeat' rhythm to them.
Mick Kennedy Well said 🙌🏽 and very true 👍🏽
Keech mate !! 7.5 is more of a drver,s car !!
Epic sideways action as always and excellent camera work. Nice
hdmk213 Thanks mate.
Hahaha those pops and cracks is all you need to live a happy life ;)
Bill Dimi Haha. Exactly 🏁💥
This guy driving is just insane, skidding in front wheel, need some tutoring haha, good review better quality and editing well done
Christian Dark Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it mate 👊🏽
Finally a great review about this car. Thanks a lot, keep up the good work. I think a lot of us car relate to you about the way we want the car to feel
Pedro Macário Thank you very much. This channel is all about how Cars make you feel. Plus the obligatory hooligan Sideways Stuff 😈.
Thanks Sid. There is still no release date in South Africa. I really wanted the previous gen ST but I am frothing to get this car. Sick review.
Richard Allwright Hopefully you guys get the little Fez in South-Africa 👍🏽
When you eventually put your name down make sure to give me a shout!
I call shotgun!
Brodie Bennett haha sure man. Any ST fan is a friend of mine.
Sideways Sid we should. The fiesta was just released in SA this week. So we can expect it probably end of 2018 there abouts. Sweet driving by the way.
Looks like a B-Max at the rear, so not a huge fan of the styling. 1 less cylinder and a smaller capacity which is actually bad because the fiesta st community love to modify their cars and I doubt you'll see 300+ bhp from these. I imagine tuning options will be a bit more limited
JustTahmid True. But this 3 cylinder is way more interesting. Plus I find these perfect out of the box. 👌🏽
it doesn’t need more than 200bhp
If you take a look at what some tunners were getting from a 1.0 ecoboost 3 cylinder engine, then my guess is you'll get tunners getting 300bhp from this displacement. Though I do agree it will be limited for now, untill they develop better understanding for tuning capacity in terms of what can be done with a 3 cylinder turbo charged engine.
REAL step up here!!! really coming into your own, stick with this format , the black chris harris in the making!!! my Dawg.
WrappersParadise Black Chris Harris 😂😂👌🏽. Thanks man 👊🏽
Sideways Sid I literally just stubbed across this and sent it to a mate saying you were like a baby Chris Harris. Sub’d!
I do not have any idea how I ended up on this channel, first video and I have already subscribed! congrats from Mexico City!
Great quality video and review! I disagree with your dismissal of the Abarth but the American spec car is slightly different and much cheaper than what you guys get. No fiesta or focus ST for us on this side of the pond anymore.
Jason Lillis Fair enough. I don't get 500 Abarth's other than the fact that do not have the precision or handling capabilities compared to the others.
But over your side, I suppose it makes better sense 👍🏽
Sideways Sid no worries, everyone has their own opinion especially when it comes to cars. Everyone is looking for different things in a car.
If Carlsberg did car reviews! 👍 Only thing I’d add personally is the Polo GTI is the closest contender to the ST, it has the same 0-60 & has a better interior, however it doesn’t sound as good and bogs down when you throttle it.
Nobody whips an ST like Sid 😎
this video is still excellent, everything is perfect and on point from the cinematography and editing to the information on offer and the way you deliver it.
Great review. I like your style of explanation and demonstrating your passion. Keep it coming
First video I've seen of yours. Really detailed on the driving part, big fan!
Sneaky_Krait Thanks man 👊🏽. Glad you liked it and welcome to the channel 🙌🏽🏁
Great review mate, I just ordered one of these today, exactly the same as the one you drove in the video, can’t wait to get it 👌
You really reming me of Chris Harris mate and i'm not saying that in a bad way....Not many motoring Jurnalists have Chris excitement and driving skill when they test cars.I really loved your presentation and driving!Well done!
Such a sick video! Great music, chat, footage! perfection
Agree re the styling. Its like different people designed the rear of the car! Brilliant car to drive though.
CJ Hatton Agreed.
Epic review, cinematography is on point!
MHBGT Thanks man
I gotta say it looks pretty sharp in white 🤔
But it does look like a van from the back though
Excellent video sid, also love the work you have been doing for Cbbees channel and I have voted for you to be on top gear. 👍🙂
The only thing I'd want on my mk7 st is lower seats, sometimes it does feel like an awkward position so that's a good thing on this mk8.
But overall I'm happy with my mk7 and won't be upgrading to this. I like the lower wider stance and interior is nice.
I'd rather keep mk7 also knowing that it can be modded reliably to very high power, that cylinder deactivation puts me off this new one.
I also like how the styling doesn't make the old one feel outdated with similar side profile and front end.
Overall it definitely looks all good but for me it's not enough different from old one but it's great for people new to the fiesta ST.
I'll keep my mk7 another 5 years or so and maybe just add mods
MarcoGT5 Fair play.
Another brilliant review Sid... we need to slide that yank out sideways and get Sid on topgear!!
Jimmy 95 Haha. Thanks mate. Them 3 are doing just fine without me 🏁.
Really nice test. Thank you Sid. The conclusion is perfekt !
Eric Levesque Your Welcome 🏁👊🏽
What a cracking review right there, awesome job, subbed! Can't wait until you get your hands on the new Focus ST in 2019
JP B Thank you very much 👍🏽. Glad you liked it, I can't wait either too 😀
Thanks for the review. I live in a country where the vaunted Ford hot hatches are not available, so reviews like this make me sort of live the experience by proxy even though I end up green with envy. Well done! I do have a next closest thing: a Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost with lowered sports suspension, (and ST bodykit) which is quite playful and entertaining especially compared to the boring many (read: japanese cars). However I do agree with you and other mk7/7.5 fans/owners that the new rear end look too pedestrian. I also prefer the wheels, side skirt, spoiler and rear diffuser of the old ST to this new one.
Hansen Dy Ahh. That's a massive shame. But it's cool that your making use of the 1.0 Ecoboost mate 👍🏽.
Hopefully it will come over your way 🙌🏽
Sadly the day is not coming with Ford shutting down small car sales in North America and other markets where their pickups, SUVs and crossovers outsell their small cars like here.

Best review I've watch so far! Nice one!
Bamzooki007 Thanks pal 👊🏽👍🏽
Just a sad US Fiesta ST owner stopping by. Great vid. Wish we could get our hands on this model.
C Crush I feel sad for you folks 😢. Hopefully it will comeback over to you guys in the future 👍🏽🙌🏽
Its great to be back!💯🤙🏾👌
stewie griffin 😎👌🏽
Be looking out for one of these on the road never knew about this thanks Sid Great Vid 👏

jgunshon Thanks mate 👍🏽. Glad that you are really liking them 🏁
Great review👍got a 2013 st love it so much would love a new 1 its so exciting 😰
i like to watch videos Thanks mate. Deffo worth the upgrade to a new ST.
Nice to see one in White being used as a demo car
Damo 666 Didn't like it in white at first. But it's grown on me now 👌🏽
Just ordered my st3 in blue and performance pack and a few other options it came to £23,500 need to take one for a drive tho looks like fun
I would be disappointed owning one. I have a 2018 Focus RS. But I wish it had the fuel economy, cheaper Tyers, lower insurance. But the fun....Fantastic !
Good vid sid, the new Fiesta looks a good drive, and I agree with the 3 cylinder, it does make a great noise, glad ford got the engine right.
sparkplug964 Thanks man. The Engine is so interesting IMO
Wow production 🔥🔥💯💯👊🏾👊🏾🙏🏽
AEllis Thanks bro 🙌🏽
Easily the best review for new Fiesta ST ! Well done!
ggkik Thank you very much 👍🏽
The best review of Fiesta ST - Wow !!! Good Job !!!
An informative, in depth review from someone who knows their Fiesta ST's.
I was waiting for the punch line until the end............ Which never came!
Will you be spending your own hard earned on one?
P Walker Thanks mate. Glad you liked it. I would spend the cash on one 🙌🏽
i love the sound of the 3 pots its the sound of 4 pots i just cant stand
Excellent videos, great way of reviewing cars. Thanks !
'That Essexness' 😂
loool
Very nice review, you've gained another subscriber ;-). Can't wait to see this little thing on a race track.
SkizomanX Thanks mate and Welcome!
Spec it in blue and it will look full-fat. Along with some mountune bits and you're good
What I don't like about the new Polo GTI/Clio RS models is the fact that they are(for now at least) automatic only. I don't want a car like that to be automatic
I love the engine. Rev happy 3 cylinder, lsd, launch, nice exhaust, very nice inside.... I just don't like how it looks outside to want to upgrade :,(
Peng_Productions Fair play man. 👍🏽
So are you going to trade your MK7 in or are you undecided until testing it in the UK? Might be a good idea to have a back to back test of the MK8 vs a MP215 MK7. Would certainly be interesting.
Also subbed
Cameron MMJ I'd trade my MK7 in for sure. But I'd much rather grab something like an E39 M5 for banter 😎
Sid can you do a review of the i30 n,and can you do a video on owning, leasing and financing cars and what you thinks best
cater anytink I've been itching to get my hands on an I30N. To be honest mate I'm struggling to find one. But the I do (Believe you me!) a film we'll be done on it. 👍🏽
INCREDIBLE!... best new Fiesta ST review ive seen so far! so glad that its as fun to drive as the previous one! tbh the softer bushings in the new one is just going to allow it to ride along our bumpy B roads even better without loosing composure.

DAMN IT. too bad these wont come to the states. I like my currect fiesta ST but after all these reviews, I want to upgrade.
Thoughts on the DS3 Performance? Feel like it is a really overlooked hot hatch
Callum Ja It's getting old. Citroen should make a new one.
Would you consider replacing your Mk7 with this new model? Placing the ad for your blue car with 'One careful owner, lady driven' label 😂
smilepermile Definitely. If I could sell it 😂. Might have to scrap it 😜😂😂
I would still get a Clio RS because of looks, interior, engine and I don’t think it is way of in terms of fun to drive or performance !
But I am French and I own a Clio Tce 90 so maybe I am a bit buyest ?
I would love to see a test of the Clio trophy by you although it is the end of the Clio 4 career
Thanks for the video by the way !
It is always great to see what cars are made of with people pushing them like you.
Guillaume D Fair enough. I'm more of the last Generation Clio 200 fan. Just because of how raw it is 👌🏽🙌🏽
Guillaume D Your very welcome. I like to throughly test Cars 😎.
Sideways Sid yes I love the old one with 6 speed manual and screaming engine with akrapovic exaust as well
Thinking about trading in my 2017toyota 86 for this will this be a stupid move? give me some feedback
So although they are very different cars, cost-wise I suppose this is up against the i30N. This looks awesome, but I think the i30N is a bit more 'grown up'.
Will762 The I30N is more of the Golf GTI rival. Not a fair comparison to the little Fez.
Itching to have a go in the I30N though 🏁
Will 762,
You can pickup a i30N demo car for £23k , with 3000 miles on it, great car . Why should it be a bit grown up?
I30n is more car for that 💰. I can't see these the Fiesta ST being in a competition with that car.
I think Ford are getting wise, you watch in 6 months a st2 with body kit and better alloys.. I am holding out :P
Iso Confused 🤔🤔
I'm not sure what "improved by 14 percent" is supposed to mean, but a great review!
Horváth András It's improved...
Horváth András It's quicker to respond on turn 👍🏽
@ Sid: I care about the cabin i owned a 2015 Fiesta ST 2 for a year and i would of loved a bigger choice of interior panel covers there's just too many bland black plastic car interiors on the market and a sunroof option or would a sunroof ruin the cars rigidity?
Good review and a proper hard test drive you give the cars Sid,but be careful on the public roads don't generate hate and dislikes from the Eco stop start Warriors!
Good Luck with your channel too!
Terry C Thanks man. Glad you liked it 🙌🏽.
I mean... That opening music seemed appropriate with jezza and the p1... Not really feelinit with an st
Kevin Kurian Hahaha 😂. Well spotted, nothing can beat that P1 vid 🙌🏽
And it goes sideways!
Coobyliscous To an extent 😂
Do you think the new ST has the same tuning potential as the Mk7 ST? considering they are pushing more power with a smaller engine.
Alain Antunes Who knows. There's always something on the table 😈
I still prefer the mk7 st, the looks set it apart from the other fiestas but the new mk8 looks too similar to the new fiestas, what do you think? Great vid Sid, keep it up bro👍🏻
logan thomson I get where your coming from. But it's definitely worth to have a go in one for a final verdict.
Sideways Sid only a few months now and I’ll test drive one to see how I like it but don’t think I could ever change my mk7 any time soon
Brilliant review.
Errol Flinch Thanks 😀
This review is also Best in Class! Ordered my new Fiesta ST last week and cannot wait for it to arrive!
Me too! long 3-4 months to wait.
Tony Magnusson I've been told September but the manager of the dealership was hopeful it would be earlier!
What spec have you gone for?
OIanO in Sweden we don't have the st 1 2 3 but it is basically a 3 with performance pack with led headlights and the sunroof. It's in the new colour silver fox 😊
I don't have a good date yet. Has been a holiday this weekend here so I hope that dealer has more info the coming week. But the time is a pretty long wait afaik
Tony Magnusson Awesome spec! I've gone for ST3, performance pack, LED headlights, b&o play, and door edge protectors in race red!
I went to my dealership today and they had a new ST in their showroom in silver fox it looks great! Got to sit in it and turn it on its going to be amazing and SO worth the wait!!
OIanO I am super excited! Yes I got the upgraded bo play too! I tested it in the ecosport and it sounds very well for the class if car! I was going around and could not decide in colour. But since my dealer told me the fox looks amazing and it was new I was sold!
Hope you get yours soon too!
Howww do you get it to slide around? My handbrake isn’t as effective
Would you like to change your 's fiesta to this new one?
Great review. Really looking forward to test driving this and possibly buying it. I have the mk7 st and looks like all the little issues with the old one have been sorted. I have a odd question though and it's one of my biggest gripes with the current st is the arm rest. It's to get back and not very soft. Is this one further forward and actually a arm rest. Keep up the good work.
chris else Thanks man 🙌🏽.
How rough is the drive in comparison to the previous??? They were quite hard before not that it's a bad thing
Andi Hoar On some really hard bumpy roads it's noticeable firm. But not like the previous gen. Its been improved for sure.
Sideways Sid
OK thanks I'm getting one anyway 👍
Am I a dumb yankee or am I getting baby-faced Chris Harris vibes?
Evan Andrews now there's two of us
Evan Andrews I'll take that as a compliment lol.
Stanisa Despotovic even three !
We don't get this in the states... makes me sad
sklew I feel your pain 😪
I'd be happy lol... Looks shit house.. IMO..
I would like one but we don't have any demos in Poland so I'm thinking about the new Clio RS line. But Im changing in 2020 so we will see.
Hi
So to get this correct you like the way that this car pulls out of the corners , and you are not driving the one with the Quaife
The Car I drove has the Quaife LSD and its brilliant.
Sideways Sid
Cool , I misunderstood , I thought you said , you have yet to drive the lsd.
I’m toying with the idea of installing it into my 2014 focus ST, or go for a new car ,. I couldn’t really get comfortable in the old FEzza.
Compared to the ST200: It's better? I got a ST200 - would you upgrade /change?
Quilmes F. Hmmm. That's an interesting one 🤔
How was fuel economy in fast road use? Did U even try to drive with speed limits
+Spoolin´ Shirley We don't test fuel economy on this channel
What about fuel consumption??Autogetful said that was very very high for 3 cylinder about 13l/100km and the best was 8l/100km.Whats your opinion?
+TwinTurboGreece Never bothered checking to be honest.
TwinTurboGreece Just kidding, never really tested it.
Better than the 208 gti BPS? This little thing, the Peugeot, is something!
