2013 and 2014 should have been called for the recall. Rust is now starting to appear on early cars, rear quarters where rear bumper meets body and rear arches. Security is another thing any potential owners need to look in to. Any thing that isnt sounding right or loks right, walk away. Loads of St's on the market. The st forum has a buyers guide that will help.
I would say your locking wheel nuts were probably over tightened. Ford uses a standard locking wheel nut for all of their range of cars. The one thing I don't like about Ford wheel nuts is the size. They have like a chrome cover over the standard metric size nut making them awkward to remove with a standard metric socket. Minor complaint though. I love my Fiesta ST!
Owner from China, brilliant car and it’s the only European hot hatch we can get here, standard manual, 24k miles I get. Great great chassis and sufficient power. Only thing I dislike is the clutch, too heavy, nothing else I can complain
@ haha I was tempted for my ST but figured I didn’t want to waste my insurance money, like the review mate, an awesome impressive car every drive for sure. Cheers
Buy one if you want one pal their brilliant cars I’m 50 next year and I’ve been driving a st180 for the last 4 years i drove my sons one and loved it had to buy myself one
Ha Ha - I'm 56 and have a MK7.5 and a MK8 FiST. If you want to do it, then do it. ICE cars are disappearing quite quickly from the market place after all!

Nice car thsi is alwayssee on way past sandbach near the little bridge 😂
Thanks 😅
so i found a nice model with 108k miles. do you know any risks of buying a model with this kinda milage
Just make sure it's got good service history, do your usual checks, if it's been looked after should be a good car!

And the number plate doesn’t fit well, but I fill something to gap it to fix the noise
Cause it has a race clutch as standard.
for a daily car ,what's your advice ?
@ceemartin9063 depends what you're after, I daily mine, it's enough practical, comftable and good on fuel for me.
Hmmm wheel spacers, hope you don’t bother with insurance then, wheel spacers are totally illegal here in Aus.
@@IDORC they are completely legal in England 👌🏼
