I love watching the making of another pov video while watching a pov video.

[@alexflosho]

lol, I was thinking “hope that guys fine with being in the shot” and then saw him circling the car and opening the trunk. So funny to see for some reason

[@GDCube]

I like how another person not far from the reviewer simultaneously makes a review of the Fiesta 😅

[@supraphonic88]

This was the last gas-powered car I owned! Bought one new in 2013, total base model, Oxford White, no Recaros. Traded it in after 18 months and 35,000 miles because I was just killing it with freeway commute miles, but it was such a beast to drive. I think about it a lot!

[@arau8310]

Interestingly even the base model cloth seats were made by Recaro.

[@imBriz]

love how the speedo only works when it wants to lmao

[@charlesjames1442]

Bought mine new in 2013. Still living the dream with full bolt-ons and a 91 octane tune.

[@oratileditlhage571]

This is currently my dream car, Im going to get it soon but thank you so much for making me feel like I own it already😂👍

[@the_jarmel]

HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE.....HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY ✌️

[@pascutia]

Such a fun car and great daily driver. Very affordable when new. Still haven’t forgiven Ford for not giving us the new Focus/Fiesta ST in the US.

[@dielog2211]

but hey... it's there..in 2024

[@TeamLuxzGaming]

@@dielog2211I’m hoping you mean you can buy a used one since we don’t have new ones

[@dielog2211]

I have a 2014 ST3 with 145,000 miles. I've taken very good care it, and it still looks like it was built yesterday inside and out. So much fun to drive in any kind of traffic or roads and it has needed ZERO unscheduled maintenance so far. Fun and easy to drive fast.

[@ady007pl]

is the engine reliable?

[@682chepstein]

great to hear !

[@oraclemiata845]

A fist and a fost. Still two of my favorites. Really wish NA Ford didn’t suck now.

[@lucaslessa1777]

Best US car channel.

[@the_jarmel]

❤❤❤LOVE IT WHEN YOU GUYS TAKE TWO CARS AT ONCE 👏👏👏.... FUN TO WATCH YOU GUYS KEEP UP WITH EACH OTHER ETC ..👏👏👏.

[@miguelkennedy9520]

I like watching videos by Winding Road Magazine :)

[@danbmx445]

Thinking about trading in my 2013 mazdaspeed 3 for a 2016 St. I love the interior on these

[@alexflosho]

I absolutely love the way that the blinkers sound on similar year Ford products

[@muselc]

bro, where do you find these cars from, do you rent or get from friend or how ?

[@ittimjones]

Why did you go with a low trim? Higher trims had full leather recaros, a subwoofer in the trunk, heated seats...

[@samuelburak1941]

These are either in good condition or absolutely destroyed and it feels like there's no in between

[@Xerthedragon]

I do miss my old 2013 ST. Was a great car for me, unfortunately the winters were not kind to the body

[@BarcalonaMessi30]

Why your cars are being our favorite

[@babykaayden]

Car time guys

[@TheEryk03]

Fiesta ST❤

[@pizzasubs]

as soon as you started the car already noticed a couple things, First the LED Display in the middle of the gauge cluster wasnt working, and secondly, you had 2 warning lights on the dash as well..you actually had 3 warning lights on the dash..
...was there something wrong with the car at the time you drove it???

[@oraclemiata845]

Honestly, most of these of these are clapped out by previous youthful owners and bad mods.

[@AW28]

Forgot how quiet the Stock ST is...😊

[@justin_grindley]

Key fob sensor honks the horn randomly, instrument panel screen doesn't come on, and speedometer sometimes stays at zero; damn this car has hella problems and I thought my Focus SE was as bad as it gets

[@rjbaldwin_]

The double horn honk when closing doors with key fob in pocket is so annoying. I had that disabled via software ASAP

[@user-oi1ko1ts4u]

Turn around reading book+😊🎉

[@XR4turbo]

Was not a huge fan of the ergonomics in these - the controls don't feel quite right and the powertrain feels a bit distant as well. The Fiesta ST just feels more immediate and wieldy. The FOST is certainly quick though.

[@user-oi1ko1ts4u]

For stacy new car interior 😊

[@spathotan]

Guy at my job has one of these, I can only assume his is stock because hes tested his luck against my stock GLI a few times when we are headed out for the day and he doesnt stand a chance.

[@oraclemiata845]

Lol, sure he does.😂

[@spathotan]

@@oraclemiata845 Whats so funny?

[@oraclemiata845]

You’re stock GLI…

[@Tonyk24]

We need a foot cam

[@user-ff1bb7rh9q]

I remember I first got the car before it came out in 2013 and then I have officially upgraded to a new car in 2022 in the inside the weather and everything inside is chipping off and it’s being dented even the seats are peeling, and the leather is ruining

[@Tomi-ty2lm]

Hello

[@joecaseyj]

Speedometer is broken.. shocker 😂 😂

[@keiserious]

In today’s money, that’s 31K and says a lot about Ford that this was discontinued.

[@Tejvir7]

No

[@francoiscleroux825]

Just to mention the mustang was brand new😊

[@Euripidis08]

Why this problem in Kilometers?😂🤣😰😱

[@nah3193]

I used to see a lot of these and now I hardly ever see them

[@Peak_Mid]

That’s an ecoboost engine for ya

[@bashfullJ88]

Most of them broke down. People eventually get sick of the stalling problems these cars have. And sell them at a loss.

[@rjbaldwin_]

The purge valve issues are annoying. I’ve never stalled out but it tries to after fill ups. Other than that car’s been a really fun modded daily

[@spurcusgodman]

Chris's father's car

[@user-nu4xr7mh1k]

So we can get the latest version 😂

[@windingroadmagazine]

Actually no! Chris's father has an RS in much better condition.

[@corkeymonster]

Almost every video I see of an American driving a "stick shift" (or manual as we call them), they wiggle the gear stick 5-6 times to check it's in neutral. Just a single tap to one side is all you need to do. 🙂

[@tyhyhh]

fiesta is far better over the focus the electrical issues with the focus alone are enough were i would never buy one

[@zalcan3620]

Cringe tinted tails but nice winter tire setup

[@kamalapatel5303]

Bbbbbbbbb

[@Kasstro5]

ale kiepskie drogi tam mają

Man...the roads there are absolute garbage. 50k miles turns into 100k of wear in no time.
