They under rated it as not to step on the corvette’s toes). My 23 year old Jeep was rated at 180hp and my 47 year old muscle car was only rated at 170hp (of course they were lying when 2 years prior it made 230hp and nothing actually changed in the 2 proceeding years and it’s not exactly stock anymore).

    My wife and I have a 2016 ST and we love it. She wanted to get rid of her GMC terrain for something more fun to drive and we looked at other Hatchbacks but it had to be a stick. A lot of manufactures offered sticks but in the bare bones models. We narrowed it down to the chevy Sonic with the RS package or the Fiesta. After driving both we realized that the Sonic was all show and no go and it was not very comfortable. We ended up with the ST with Recaro seats and she has already been pulled over a couple times. It is pretty fast for a 1.6L

    My first car ( bought in 1992) was a 1978 Ford Fiesta with 39,000 miles on it. Loved that car.

    I have a Fiesta and I love it.
    It's a 2008 model, with the 1.5 liter DuraTorq turbo diesel engine - something you don't find in the US. Best car I've ever owned.

    I love my Fiesta and got it specifically for it's rally heritage/fun and ease of use.
    Yeah it's not the hottest, sportiest thing [I think they look great tho personally] but behind the wheel, every time, I'm having a good time. Fun little car for sure.

    I had a Fiesta ST 07 model. It was a solid car. Very reliable engine. With its very wide tyres it sat on the road like a tick on a bulls bum.
    It revved and sounded happy to do so. Economical if you where sensible. It was a blast.
    Very regretful sale.

    I'm 40 and my first car was a MK1 fiesta. I'm now looking at buying a MK8 Fiesta ST. Awesome cars!

    I knew a girl in high school who had a mk1 Fiesta. I got to drive it a few times and it was fun to drive. Sometimes driving a slow car as fast as it will go, is more fun than driving a fast car. The Mk1 is so lightly built and un-insulated that you feel every bit of the road and hear every rattle and squeak. I remember the sound of the doors closing being so metallic with a click instead of today's cars soft thud. Going 70 in a Fiesta feels like 100. Compared to today's small cars, driving an old Civic or Golf Mk1 or Fiesta Mk1 feels like driving naked. The fun thing about those early small hatchbacks was that they were so light and nimble on city streets like the ones in San Francisco where I grew up. One late night, my friend and I drove his 1972 Honda Z600 through the pedestrian tunnel under the bleachers onto the mile long packed sand jogging track around the Polo fields in Golden Gate Park. We were getting sideways on the turns with only the light of the moon to see by and Ozzy blasting on a boom box in the back seat. You could get away with more shenanigans back in the early 80's. There were fewer cops and as long as you didn't hang around one spot too long you could pull some fun stunts.

      I guess best part abt owning one here in the americas is the clout and the attention! Only know 1 person who owns one in a 200km radius of my house

    After a e46 and a A3, I now have a fiesta, just a 1.3 with 82bhp, but it's soo much fun! Great city car and if you can get the 1.5 turbo 200bhp than it's a little beast
