    The true all-rounder is the 1.0 ecoboost but remapped to 160 bhp... All the pros of a "cheaper to maintain" car and a "quite-STish" power delivery

      I agree, iv got a 208 gt line 1.2 3 cylinder turbo, stage one remap and ram air induction kit, 160 bhp 220 ibft, 0-60 in 7 seconds and 135 flat out, but £25 per month insurance, no tax, £46 to fill the tank with momentum, and 55 mpg. Excellent.

      That’s until the wetbelt in the 1.0 goes to shreds, the ST’s have a chain and it’s just so much better

    Great video.I test drove the ST-Line X before the Fiesta ST and the difference was massive! The ST line is a nippy, comfortable and well specced car but once you’ve driven the ST, particularly if you like driving you’ll be blown away. I’ve owned several different hot hatches including more recently a Mini JCW and I now have a 2019 ST-2 with the Performance pack. It is the best handling hot hatch I’ve ever driven and the 1.5 3 pot engine is a little monster !

    the raunchy sound is due to the 3 cylinders, listen to a Triumph motorcycle .. it's the mix of 2 cylinder roughness and 4 cylinder smoothness .. hence the raunchy rumble

    It's not only hp power. You have torque, lsd, suspension, sound, tunability and 500cc difference. St line a good "normal" car. St a great little performance car.

      You’ll 100% notice a difference in fuel economy - that would be my only comment. I can’t compare suspension though, but I would think they are very similar in ride

    • @baronxsa
      @baronxsa 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@ChristopherGower really? My ST is quite bumpy, wouldn’t recommend it for long journeys - anything over 1.5 hours of driving gets a bit tiring. Although the ride improves after 140-150km/h, there are not too many places where you can drive that fast. I’d expect the ST-Line to be better.

    Went to buy a mk8 Fiesta a couple of years back, walked into the showroom and looked around a nice blue St-line but it was parked next to a beautiful ruby red Mondeo St-line X I ended up with the Mondeo even though I didn't need a car that size it just looked so much nicer and more aggressive then the Fiesta which I loved.

    @JamesBondsSkyline 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have had a MK8 fiesta st line with the 1 litre 3 cylinder 99 bhp for 10 weeks now. B&O sound is about the only good thing about. It’s a thirsty engine, just about does the same mpg as my old MK5 golf gti, but very poor for an economical car. Runs badly on E10, starts on 1 cylinder every 2 days before starting fully so need to use E5.

      We all know the ST is the 'better car' from a drivers perspective, but some people cannot afford one. This video is for the purpose of creating a discussion around this topic and whether the ST-Line is a worthwhile compromise.
