    Good to see one last so long. I have a 2016 with slightly over 146000 on it. I am the third owner, aside from replacing the transmission at 130,000 the car has treated me well

      Love to hear it! I have heard they will blow through transmissions if they are shifted too fast.

    I have one with 285k miles and it runs great. These cars are fantastic.

    So I have a 2016 ford fiesta. Tuned similarly to this one. And 240 is a bit of a stretch unless he’s on e30. My guess is around 205-210 whp.

      Maybe 240 crank? That sounds about right; still potent for this very small car!

      @@M-t3chYeah, crank. The AP will give you estimated hp and torque numbers, but at the wheels, 210 or so is all you get with the stock turbo. My tuner says I'm making 210hp/276tq with a conservative stage 2 tune. I believe him.

    will never know why the euro spec ST Fiestas got a tiny screen compared to the US models

      I have never seen a euro spec. Is it bad? The infotainment in this 14' model is behind by today's standards but I found it to be nice to use.

    I do love a fiesta st. But it has to be thr 2 door. I honestly didnt even know they done a 4 door st. In the uk a 4 door fiesta and corsa are looked as a granma cars

    The fiesta st/st line in the uk seem much more aggressive than the ones in the US some small changes on the body I wouldn’t thought would be different between the US and UK

      @ILLSMOKQ-xs6qs I can't speak to the 200lbs portion but I am 6'2 and fit in a Fiesta comfortably. The Focus offers more hatch space, is a little more comfortable, and more power.
      However, you sacrifice some driver's feedback and the nimblness that the Fiesta ST has loads of. Just depends on what your needs are.

    • @M-t3ch
      @M-t3ch  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We aren't really sure, the previous owner just has paperwork for replacing it. Our guess is high mileage. Either loss of compression or something failed internally warranting replacement.
