i love this guy, he has been doing this since the 1980s and feels so genuine

[kracklekrispy]

I just bought a Fiesta ST. It is so much fun to drive!

[lukeskywalker]

I remember watching this guy in the '80s. Testing the first mustang GTs. It's good to see he's still around and doing a great job

Well I bought this right after seeing this episode. It has 63, 000+ miles on it and I’m on my 4th set of tires, it’s so easy to wear out tires because your always taking on & off ramps on the limit not to mention a good Mountain road. You can get up to 260 hp with just Bolt on’s & a tune, I have many Mods and it’s a good looking car as well, I get compliments on a daily basis, there not a dime a dozen, so you don’t see them every time you turn your head around like you do with Honda Civics. It’s great on a long road trip and at 80 mph you’ll get 32 mpg 39 at 65. Best bang for your buck, Drive one I guarantee it’ll put a smile on your face.

I love my Fiesta.
Bitchin' little pocket rocket that goes from L.A. to Laguna Beach for about $7.50 in gas each way.

Still have mine 4 years later and 142k miles. Had damn near 300whp with a turbo upgrade and tuning. It was perfect

The front turn in on this car is simply amazing just look how the inside rear tire comes off the ground during the emergency Lane change.
Most other front drivers just understeer when pushed hard.

My first car was a '79 Ford Fiesta. I regularly visited the local junk yards looking for parts for my '65 Mustang project. One time I came across a left-hand drive imported XR2 Fiesta. My dad and I removed every engine, interior, suspension and exterior part that we could and turned mine into a XR2 replica. That was a fun car for a 16 year old. Too bad someone t-boned my car not too far away from my neighborhood.😢

I had a 2016 Fiesta ST and loved it! Put 60K trouble free miles on it. Only sold it because I need more room and awd. Miss my little mighty mouse.

[TheBluehornz]

30.7mpg in mixed driving w/ 13K on the odometer. Truly an excellent car.

I LOVE my 2018 FiST, FBO E30 tuned. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the price bracket. Canyon runs are my favorite!

[charlesjames]

Owners and testers loved it. Me too. But Americans only saw a little car for little people. The average 250+# American just walked on by and plopped into a Tahoe. Ya need that 4 wheel drive on the way to get a superbag of wings at Costco.

Why do people in the US complain about not having a two door option. We only have a two door option here in Australia and the point of this car is it's a use able every day car as well as a lil rocket. Two doors make it much less functional especially if you have a family, I'd much rather the 4 door but that's just me, either way I don't mind.

Glad to see Ford and so many other companies doing this. Honda/Toyota really fell out of the market for small sporty fun cars in the early 2000's. The void was there and Ford and others have really stepped up lately to fill it. OH well Honda/Toyota, your loss.

[Rabnes]

I love MW. Grew up watching it. And I realize this is almost a decade late, bit they tested the car with regular.

With premium fuel, I'm confident that the performance numbers and mpg would increase. Just a nit pik, but worth mentioning.

I am biased, as I own a fiST, but this car is fantastic. If you have the chance, try to drive one.

[CanUreL]

red brake calipers are optional on the Fiesta ST

[mauriciovillanueva-]

The 7.1 is a bit wrong; I get 0-60 in 6.5 sec.

[JohnnyBlaze]

I LOVE MY FiST! I smile every damn day I drive it! Can’t wait to get an Accessport!

[johnquintmatt]

I had a black on black bone stock one without any silly upgrades and it still is the best drivers car I've ever owned.

[RAA]

17k miles regular oil changes and tire roations no issues besides the paint is kinda weak from rock chips.
