    The Ford Fiesta ST is back, with a new three-cylinder turbo engine and promises of a more comfortable ride and even better handling than its much-loved predecessor. So is it still king of the small hot hatches? James Batchelor finds out...

    I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wondered why for the previous generstion Fiesta ST, the ST200 was never offered in 5 door form like the ST-2 and ST-3 trims...

    • @Palma123-6000
      @Palma123-6000 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Josh, in the uk, it is only with 3 doors, the USA still has the mark 6 fiesta, and there, they have only 5 door hatchback and 4 door saloon. There the fiesta ST is 5 door hatchback only. See?

    • @joshbacon8241
      @joshbacon8241 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      madhuram79 Actually in 2016, Ford introduced the 5 door version of the previous generation Fiesta ST to European soil. The extra pair of doors were offered on ST-2 and ST-3 trim levels, but not the ST200, which was only offered as a 3 door.
      And that brings me back to my original question: When Ford eventually introduced the 5 door Fiesta ST to European markets in 2016, why was the ST200 only offered as a 3 door when the ST-2 and ST-3 were offered as a 3 or 5 door?

    I like a thrilling hot hatch just like the next guy or gal but going full on into corner with a wheel off the ground just doesn't sit right with me i want to be in absolute control of that much raw power
    Its nimble enough to excite all the ford bum boys jk, but push it too far on the wrong road on the wrong corner then ya might be getting a new set of wheels 🦼
    ie i heard a kid who traded a sensible car for a ST a week later he was wrapped round a tree.
    I just think imo it teases ya to push it that bit harder to get that thrill and use it as a selling point.
    I think the ST is tryin to imitate it's bigger bro and just not good enough to get there.
    Where as the Polo GTI looks more polished refined while not as much "fun" as the ST the Polo GTI will ease round corners far more comfortably.
    But everyone hates the vw because they want that death defining thrill 💩☠👺

Tell all why this is now a three cylinder engine ( bet you won't tell us why the four cylinder engine kept causing problems. Head gasket blowing ). I guess you can't tell us the truth otherwise you will lose out on all your freebees. Given up on watching this channel.
