Excellent review, I ordered the previous ST3 model in March 2021, to which I added Full LED headlights and a spacesaver spare wheel. Then Covid kicked in, plus production delays, fast forward to July 2022 and the new, but as originally ordered 3 door model arrived, Ford had included the options that had been standard on the 2021 model, B&O sound system, winter pack & spacesaver wheel. A fantastic result well worth the wait.
What colour did you go for mate? Are you enjoying the car? I got my mk8.5 3door in race red with all options inc the panoramic roof and it’s been fantastic, massive difference over my mk7.5 215 ST i had for 7 years.
In most cases now you can’t order the B&O. I ordered my ST3 in November & within 3 hours of ordering it I was informed that the B&O was out due to low inventory. The only two options that weren’t paint were the winter pack & Sync 3. Love the B&O in my current Fiesta. So many features in my current car not available on the ST3 which is bad considering it is the Premium model.
@@74aamer it looks more like it you ordered from Ford direct you got the B&O, if you ordered like I did through Arnold Clark Ford you didn’t. Likely because unbeknownst to the punter at that point, Arnold Clarke had terminated their partnership with Ford. Which is why customers will now be getting letters from Ford informing them that Arnold Clark will only be an authorised repairer. Of course Ford would always prioritise their own direct customers & dealers remaining in partnership over a partner that had ended its relationship.
A good summing up and one that I agree with entirely. When it comes to the fun factor, this is easily the closest I've found to my old 205GTI. If I could only have one car this would certainly be in the running as my choice. It's also good value, in my opinion.
Great review thank you, ordered my ST 3 back in March last year, word on the street says I should see it sometime in the next few weeks. Same Mean Green colour as you're driving. The Hyundai i20N was never an option being 20% more expensive . I'm in the South Island of NZ. Only a few coming this way I'm told. Just coming into Autumn here though it was 30C today, how the weather is changing. Thinking about taking it for a squirt down to Queenstown with my wife for a couple of nights when it arrives, about a 5 hour trip. Just running it in gently mind. Great roads and fantastic scenery.
It's a shame to see this legendary hot hatch go. I now have a Puma ST with performance pack and whilst it's not quite as exciting to drive, it's not far off !!
I have Fiesta ST3 2019 Performance Blue and i love it !!! 👍❤️
Same here, wish I had performance pack to experience the limited slip differential and launch control but still love it
Getting my Black 23 plate ST3 next week. Cannot wait.
2:42 don't ST-Lines have a stiffer and lower suspension?

Had to follow
Great video this or a I 20 n ??
It will be very collectible one day
I would love to buy one....but I am an American.
Hello! Congratulations on the video, it has really been very good! Question: Which one would you prefer this Fiesta or the I20N? Thank you ❤
Hyundai i20n.
Fiesta ST all day long. The Hyundai suits children and people that like tackyness and red bits all over the body..
@@mainman2999 Do you mean that you don't like it aesthetically? Thanks
@@ljp1942 thanks 🙏🏻
@@danielet123 I love the Fiesta, I hate the tacky hyundai !!
TL;DR: Yes!
This car has an ECOBOOST Engine right? They are known to be problematic right?
No just the base Fiesta, the 1L and I think it's just the early ones
Ecoboost problematic¿???NO.
It's a shame to see this legendary hot hatch go. I now have a Puma ST with performance pack and whilst it's not quite as exciting to drive, it's not far off !!
the video is not stereo, lol
Yeah 😮
The CEO of Ford must hate Cars , no car lover would stop the production of the Worlds best performance road car
Have I gone deaf in my right ear?. Nice car and good review though.
Thanks, sorry about that!
@@CarandDrivingCarReviews Lol, no problem. Thanks for the great review.
Still prefer the mk 7 st … Looks
Kaife? Lol.
