72,000 on mine and the only thing that is going bad is the blender motor for the vents. Ac works its just annoying ticking noise that last for 10 seconds when switching vent positions. I've had mine since oct 2013 bought it new with 24 miles. I still love the fiesta, with regular oil changes, brakes and tires its been very reliable with only a green filter. Hope to get cobb eventually.
on paper its not impressive, (to me anyway) but once you drive it you forget all about that and don't care. it is very quick and light on its feet. the handling is crazy for this price point wow! best car for the price. highly recommended by many many experts and car lovers alike. thumbs up ford!
Nicholas Reese That's all true - test drove the FiST a week ago and really liked it - but in Canada the pricing makes no sense. It's 27k here which is really quite high for what it is - near GTI territory but for a little bit of a loud and hard ride. (The FoSt is 35k which is more expensive than a GTI - that's getting close to an Golf R which is big jump up.). I agree that the FiST is awesome but not at that price.
theshapeofpunk2comee Agreed. From the factory Ford claims 197hp, 202ft-lbs. I run a pro tuned FiST with just about everything short of water methanol injection and an upgraded turbo, and I am making 244hp, 310ft-lbs at the wheels.
theshapeofpunk2comee Yes sorry I did make a mistake on my estimates! HP is about right but torque is more like 240 - 250 at the wheels after stage one.
I'm very seriously thinking of buying a Fiesta ST in Performance Blue. The price is right and I've seen or read nothing but good things. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks...
Subbed and dude fantastic review! You didn't try too hard, really chill, really really well done guys and I digged the cinematography too. Not too flashy or over the top just right and I am buying this car in 3 months time and honestly I couldn't be more excited. I LOVE driving but never got the chance to learn on a manual and my first car was a 2003 mirage auto which is the sluggiest lil car. I have done extensive research on manual driving and this car and honestly I can't wait to get into it and hone my skills and passion. I will fall in love with this car... and the commute to and from work will be incredible. Leading up to the highway there's a steep windy incline up a beautiful road and doing that five days a week will be an absolute treat! Can't wait!!!!
According to Car&Driver: The Fiesta ST, which goes on sale in the U.S., emerged from Ford’s engineering center in Cologne, Germany, and was finessed at its proving ground in Lommel, Belgium. The car will be assembled for North America in Mexico, with an engine shipped in from the United Kingdom.
The engine is called "Ecoboost" when it's put in larger vehicles like Escapes and vans, but the ST version is the most powerful version of the engine Ford produced. It's not made for economy. I average just under 30 mpg in mixed driving, which isn't bad, but it will burn the gas if you get on it. The Ecoboost version of the Fiesta is the 1.0 turbo.
Well detailed review thanks Roads Untraveled one question though, why are all the fist's 5 doors in the us? We can only get 3 door here in the UK, and you guys get that bad ads green colour and we don't :(
+elliott cullingford you should know more about this since your from uk, but team rs in germany does the st's and rs, msport in uk does the wrc and rally versions, anyway any german ST is a 2 door, since they wanted to sell this wt wz st in America they used a factory in Mexico which does 4 doors, in Australia we currently get a mix, st's are german 2 doors and non st's are thailand 4 doors
I appreciate you guys taking the time to film outside the car follow footage, slider shots and different angles. too many reviews are just a gopro on the dash and talk too much , good review, only thing is work on keeping the lens clean, some times there were bad fingerprints. keep it up.
+AzNightmare I agree. I have a FIST custom stage 3 E40 tune and it puts out roughly 330lbs torque and 225hp max. It's almost undrivable in 1st and 2'nd gear. If I run a tune on premium 92-93 octane you can remove about 25lbs of torque max.
AzNightmare Yeah I know Brian... he did some port work on my stock turbo and we originally tried to work on the razorlab tune. But abandoned it after we found some problems with the base map. I haven't talked to Brian in roughly 6-8 months, but he seems to have had some pretty good luck with his cyborg turbo mod. It's a cheaper way to go. But I would probably if I decided to go that route have someone like Randy tune the cyborg turbo mod. The whole idea behind the cyborg mod was to allow for quicker spool turbo by way of using the stock turbo and not loose it with a bigger turbo. But I spoke to a couple other guys that said map was putting one out this past fall 2015, but I haven't followed with them to see what hey have lately.
+MyLifeAsLouis Consider yourself lucky because ford won't even launch the fiesta st in the worlds 2nd most populous country in the world. The state of enthusiast cars in India is really sad :(
MyLifeAsLouis I wish we could get the three-door version here in the United States. I have no idea why they don't sell it here. they could probably sell a lot of both. But I bet the 5 door would still outsell the three door
+william robertson Automatic? Nah. I can understand if you weren't able to drive a manual due to a physical disability, but this a driver's car. I commend Ford for making it manual only.
This was one of the worst FiST reviews I've seen. The vanilla's vanilla. I mean, thanks for the efforts, but just being honest. All commentary pulled from the automotive journalists parts bin of descriptions. I could have overlaid the dialogue to a La Ferrari video.

+aaron Daniels I encourage you to check out our most recent videos from the last 6 months. :D That's all i'll say. I know the feeling, I can't watch our old videos either. Oh and it's too late. Day job has been quit haha
it's nice looking, fast, lightweight, practical and fun to drive = perfect car!
Good review grabbed a 2017 for myself excellent car.
I've had one here in the UK now for two years, we have the three door version here :) it still makes me smile every day.
Chuckanut road out of Bellingham.
Morgan Knight that's what I thought!
Morgan Knight that was my thought as well,you can see the ship in the bay that is always their!
i rip my fiesta on it routinely haha!

Great review man very informative. I've ordered the Fiesta ST3 in Panther Black. Three weeks to wait. The anticipation is killing me soooo excited.
This a car that stock is wonderful. Dont need more power. 1.6cc 180hp that is very very good. Dont need more than that
Never heard the turbo blow off in my Fiesta ST. If you listen carefully you can hear the turbo whine.
Maybe the Cobb helped with that.
3:30 you are way high on your estimate of stage 1 torque
theshapeofpunk2comee Agreed. From the factory Ford claims 197hp, 202ft-lbs. I run a pro tuned FiST with just about everything short of water methanol injection and an upgraded turbo, and I am making 244hp, 310ft-lbs at the wheels.
theshapeofpunk2comee Yes sorry I did make a mistake on my estimates! HP is about right but torque is more like 240 - 250 at the wheels after stage one.
How did you achieve 240 with stage 1? Hell, stage 3 isn't anywhere near that.
Ive registered 273lb of tq stg 1. stratified stg 1 ots
I'm high too man
I'm going to be getting one soon, can't wait!!
I just got mine yesterday! I can't leave her :(
been a sub since the early days. Nice to be here and enjoy as the channel and team grow both in size and character respectively ✌
Power numbers on this car are under-rated by Ford and actually makes around 215 hp and 250 lb ft at the crank. If only the BRZ/FRS had this engine 😨
It looks beautiful and seems to be so much fun to drive. I wish Ford offered this one in Brazil. Great overview :D
Thanks for the great review Marcus!
the perfect little car!
Awesome review man this will be my next car soon.Good mpg fun to drive just what i am lookin for.
I'm very seriously thinking of buying a Fiesta ST in Performance Blue. The price is right and I've seen or read nothing but good things. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks...
Seems like a sweet little ride if you want performance on a budget.
Randomly found this channel, good stuff. Subbed.
Thanks for the video. The music is great. Where is it from?
You guys are doing great work, KEEP IT UP!

Kirk what do you have done. I'm running all the bolt ons and ethonal 40 and put down 220 hp and 285 trq.
Great review I picked up the focus st, great car. Subbed!
+oONoChanc3Oo Thanks!
I swear he was about to start crying near the end of the video.
Hi,do you guys know where is the Fiesta st build?I mean the one sold in the USA,thanks.
According to Car&Driver: The Fiesta ST, which goes on sale in the U.S., emerged from Ford’s engineering center in Cologne, Germany, and was finessed at its proving ground in Lommel, Belgium. The car will be assembled for North America in Mexico, with an engine shipped in from the United Kingdom.
+Sean Kuo Thank you so much ,Im planning to buy one here in México, and wanted to be sure where it came from,most reviews are from U.S.A.
Great review👍
2017 came factory stock with 197bhp
Right and with a map stage 1 map ?!!@188? Tf am I griping stage one map should have well over 215.
Actually it comes stock with 182HP but when you floor it, the engine goes in overboost function for 30 seconds pushing out 197HP
this channel is so professional. Can't belive it does not get more attention. :(
Goo Goo Ice Cream With time!
Goo Goo Ice Cream Share it and promote us and we will!!! :D

No, that's the designation ford uses for the ST. 1.6 Ecoboost.
great review. what is the color code/name for the rims and is it plastiDip or?
Well detailed review thanks Roads Untraveled one question though, why are all the fist's 5 doors in the us? We can only get 3 door here in the UK, and you guys get that bad ads green colour and we don't :(

I live down in Seattle and I agree this is a great road, do you know any good roads up in Vancouver?
+Luc Ferrigno - www.roadsuntraveled.net/driving-routes/
Sea to sky up to Whistler. Heaven!
Could you do a Focus ST review?
that drive, Columbia river gorge. right?
Had one of these for over a year and its great :)
You voice reminnds me To Carlos Lago from MT xD nice channel and videos !
Great Review. Just about 1k miles on mine and I love it more every day.
matthew kohl I have about 1700 now on mine. Excellent little beast. Enjoy!
matthew kohl do you still have your fiesta? Hows the ownership experience?
Im looking at this car for first car, I am 17, i am worry about the insurance, will it be high? Pls answer.
Thx
Of course it will be high
get insurance on a policy who is atleast 30 and it wont be as high.
How is the build quality?
Great video!
Awesome review man! I've been on that road :)
NewEdge One of the best nearby.
+DiffSlip What road is this?
Good review
I appreciate you guys taking the time to film outside the car follow footage, slider shots and different angles. too many reviews are just a gopro on the dash and talk too much , good review, only thing is work on keeping the lens clean, some times there were bad fingerprints. keep it up.
Raychristofer Thank you!! We appreciate it
3:30 *288 torque, No way.*
Stage 1 tune will probably give you around 250. The HP at 188 sounds about right though.
+AzNightmare I agree. I have a FIST custom stage 3 E40 tune and it puts out roughly 330lbs torque and 225hp max. It's almost undrivable in 1st and 2'nd gear. If I run a tune on premium 92-93 octane you can remove about 25lbs of torque max.
Tom Brooks Are you on oem Turbo?
AzNightmare yep.... I had Randy at Mountune do my tune. He's very good. Nice work!
Tom Brooks I'm tuned with Stratified. I heard of Randy. He has a great rep. Have you heard of the cyborg upgrade for the oem turbo?
AzNightmare Yeah I know Brian... he did some port work on my stock turbo and we originally tried to work on the razorlab tune. But abandoned it after we found some problems with the base map. I haven't talked to Brian in roughly 6-8 months, but he seems to have had some pretty good luck with his cyborg turbo mod. It's a cheaper way to go.

But I spoke to a couple other guys that said map was putting one out this past fall 2015, but I haven't followed with them to see what hey have lately.
How have you not driven a stock Fiesta ST yet? I guess this is a review of stage 1 Fi-ST
these are fun little cars!
Very nice review
Kevin Minato Thank you! Just wait for the next one! ;)
im jealous of marcus. getting to drive all these awesome cars, while here i am just suffering in school D:
anguy11 :'(
I got a black fiesta st2 too and i'm in school it's possible:)
That's the road that goes to Bellingham on the scenic route.
Bellingham ?!?! Let's go!
got mine in black also, got about 1500 miles on it ,going to go for a drive now actually ha
Beautiful cinematography. Does it come with automatic? JK So how do you turn on the auto blipper?
6m only
Wish we had the 5 door in the UK... ah man
pgsm15 I know this comment is a year old, but there's a handful of 5 door STs in the UK
pgsm15 Wish we had the 3 door in the US.
Yes the fiesta st is not the fastest! But man its a fun car to drive! If your a driver!
opening song name pleaseeeee.
Nice review. That car needs a 2j-racing downpipe and cowl induction CAI ;)
Wished we could get the 5 door version here in Malaysia. We only have the 3 door version.
+MyLifeAsLouis Consider yourself lucky because ford won't even launch the fiesta st in the worlds 2nd most populous country in the world. The state of enthusiast cars in India is really sad :(
MyLifeAsLouis I wish we could get the three-door version here in the United States. I have no idea why they don't sell it here. they could probably sell a lot of both. But I bet the 5 door would still outsell the three door
331Grabber I wish we could get the 3 door to. You also can't get a 3 door gti anymore either
actually it's been dyno ed 219 hp at the wheels w00 torque
The power numbers are wayy off..stage 1 does not make those numbers you mentioned.
snap oversteer king
If you want a better road 30 minutes south of there let me know. I have an amazing spot.
I enjoy the Focus ST more than this but great vid
+Mike Czenkus Have you driven a FIST or even one modded yet? They are insane.
Focus ST has way to much torque steer
Tom Erik Brauer I agree, but would love to drive and own a FORS.
This car reminds me that i took a shit not to long ago. There's something special about that.
You didn't experience any understeer because you are not pushing the car hard enough.
Let me at the wheel and I'll show you understeer.
+Doug Maverick and the St will get on 3 wheels and torque vector your claim into submission
😁
Chuckanut drive.
Damn they really need an automatic but you wouldn't get all the fun I'm sure but yeah looks like a pretty cool little car loads of fun
+william robertson Automatic? Nah. I can understand if you weren't able to drive a manual due to a physical disability, but this a driver's car. I commend Ford for making it manual only.
+Johnny CincoCero yeah i hear buddy
+Johnny CincoCero agreed.

Great review but... Come on Ford you should of made it a 2.0 L and make the styling of the car more aesthetic!
I decided to go with the Honda fit

The only thing I would say is no tuner respects a fwd car
Luke Pilarski I know plenty who do, and for good reason. After driving the ST, you'll change your mind very quickly.
