Ford Fiesta ST Review (Tiny Turbos Pt. 2) -- Everyday Driver

Since the moment it was announced, we've been asked to review the Fiesta ST. In fact, a loyal viewer even offered up his car to go against the Fiat 500 Abarth in this comparison of affordable Tiny Turbos. Is this the best $25,000 car?

And look for lots more from us on Thursdays!

I can proudly say that because of this video I'm now a proud owner of a 2016 Ford Fiesta ST. Thanks guys!!

I saw this video when it first came out and got a 2014 ST, that smile on his face as he comes out of that turn is me everyday, I’m on a Stage 2 with a Pro-Tune Cobb Access port, rear motor mount, short shifter, 3” MBRP exhaust and sticky Michelin pilot sport tires, it has 76, 000+ miles on it and it runs so strong, I embarrass a lot of people with it, and the main thing is there’s not a lot of them around witch makes it unique, I’m 72 years young and have had many cars & motorcycles, this is the most fun I’ve ever had driving, it will become an icon car in 20 years. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺

Just picked one up tonight. Traded in my 2007 Mustang GT and I can't believe how much fun the Fiesta is! Don't think I'll be missing the old GT anytime soon. Thanks for the great review guys, it absolutely helped my choice on a new car!... Or maybe it has something to do with all the times you've suggested it to others on your podcast ;-)

I must have watched everydays videos 100x before deciding on which car to buy...long story short I'm going to pick up my orange fiesta st tomorrow! thanks for the helpful reviews!!

For $25K, I bought a Fiesta ST.

Got mine in Performance Blue 3 months ago and have been loving it more after every drive.

I have spent the last 8 years tuning a Mazdaspeed Miata to 250whp. I test drove a Fiesta ST and a FRS about a month ago on a Whim. I am picking up my Fiesta ST with Recaro seats tomorrow and selling the Miata. Its just the perfect little car for my needs right now and I'm thrilled that there is something out there this good in this price range.

I just bought one because of this review. I already knew the car was special based on internet hype, but this review sent me over the edge. I originally had a Honda Fit Sport with coilovers. Walked into the Ford dealership and saw a '17 Fiesta ST, in black, with sunroof and extras, and said, "I'll walk out of here with that car if you guys work with me." 2 hours later I drove away in my new Fiesta, and oh my god I love this car every day I get to use it. It's my escape; my oasis, from the world! I LOVE THE ROTATION! This car is HILARIOUS on off-ramps!

I own a fiesta st and I can say this car is an absolute beast for the money. Handling is unbelievable and it has power pretty much everywhere. The recaro's are a must

[earlmacmullin]

As an ST owner, everything they said is spot on. Too bad they didn't test a model with the Recaro seats. In Canada, we have no choice on seats, and that really is for the better. The Recaro seats are simply amazing, and give the simple interior a real hot point. Love this car!!

Well, I am now a new owner of a black Fiesta ST, thanks for your help guys! Love your subjective point of view about cars.

[mattsaysitscool]

I own a 2014 Fiesta similar to this one. And I LOVE IT!! This car handles like nothing I've driven before. It hauls ass, and gets decent MPG. It has just enough room for a young guy like me to get daily use out of, has a great interior and exterior.

[BjornKuma]

Late to the party, but thanks for this! Great review! Just bought a 2019 ST before they kill the line. The info was spot on, what an incredible little car! I'm up in the Colorado Rockies and everywhere I go, it's twisties and smiles. Was always a hardcore DSMer, never thought I'd be happy owning a Ford, but here I am, and this review had a lot to do with that decision. Thanks again Gents!

Great video, guys. I cross-shopped the two (as well as the FRS) and went with the Fiesta ST. It has so much more grunt than the FRS (+50FT/LB of TQ). It is also so much more practical. I got mine with nav, Recaros and sunroof for $24k OTD. I couldn't be happier. She is my DD as well as my canyon/track car. If you haven't driven one and are in the market, you really are doing yourself a disservice.

[tommymician]

Perfect review and comparison. You guys are the best, better than the vast majority of YouTube channels. I actually feel proud of myself for listening to THIS channel that actually throughoutly tests cars from a petrolhead perspective, which is more than most channels can offer. Great work!

[Moondoggy]

I took your challenge and I tested both cars and bought the 15 Fiesta ST fun little car and I am 6'2'' and I fit in it no problem. Thanks guys PS the Abarth was a blast to drive.

[MrFigureduout]

I just bought a 2019 fiesta st. Last year in the states and I love it. Stage 3 package and this thing is a ecobeast !!! I too bought this car because of you guys !!! Keep up your honest reviews of the cars we want to drive. Love the channel

[TheBluehornz]

Bought a Fiesta ST.  Simply an amazing car!  I feel like your review was spot on.

[JDsHouseofHobbies]

I picked up a 2018 Fiesta ST in Orange Spice a couple months ago. It is a HOOT! Freeway on and off ramps become race tracks. I dare to say that it is the most fun car I have ever owned.

[RoscoRide]

I have a 2015 Mustang GT performance package with a tune and MagnaFlow comp exhaust as a weekend car. I absolutely want to get a Fiesta ST as my Daily driver love it!!

[rlambert]

Well they nailed that one. All the hype is legit as I have been enjoying the hell out of my Fiesta ST for 2 years now and it continuously makes me smile. It's even fun running up to 7/11 for milk, wherever your going it makes you want to drive it. And I have this high of praise for it even as it shared the garage with a Boss 302 and now a C7 Vette. Two years on and I could not be more stoked on this car.
