Why are they killing the perfect hot hatch? | Ford Fiesta ST Review | 4k

The reign of the Ford Fiesta ST as king of the hot hatches is coming to an end. Ford has decided to move in a different direction with the Puma leading the line in the EV sales game. Whether this proves to be a good decision or not, only time will tell. All we know is that we're going to miss the Fiesta ST.

Is this actually the best hot hatch ever?

Ending production of a supercar like the Aventador is sad, but ending this car is even more sad

As an ex Ford of Europe employee, all I can say is that the company has completely lost its head. The self-destruct button was pressed some time ago and it's now full throttle into oblivion. The European business will be sold in the next couple of years and the brand itself will be added to one of the Chinese behemoths by the close of this decade.

Electric cars can never replace this, will be missed🌏

So glad I've managed to experience 4 different generations of Fiestas over the years from my first car a Mk 5 to Mk6 a few cars later and then a Mk 7 ST and now with a pre face lift Mk 8 ST back to back. I'm so glad that I still have my Mk 8, it put's to much of a smile on my face every time I drive it to ever think of selling it. Really sad to see the Fiesta coming to an end. Sad times especially for those that haven't experienced an ST version before.

I owned two Focus STs. I will always miss that car. People who have never driven the fast Fords will never understand. We were lucky get them in the US for a few years, and then they were gone. I now own a new Civic Si and it’s a great car, but something is missing.

Massive mistake by Ford, don’t believe the SUV/crossover hype - people will always by small hatchbacks - and the Fiesta St was one of the best ever small hot hatch. The new mpv style Puma can never replace the fun factor of a hot hatch - it’s too high and too heavy .

I've owned both a Mk7 and Mk8 Fiesta ST over the years and they were fantastic cars! Really sad to see it killed off.

[bezimiennykronikarz]

I have one, MK6 to be exact, and it's an honour to say, that this is my first car. I adore it. It's practical, extremely fun to drive, and when you want to scare your friends who never were in a fast car it's more than enough. The fact that it's been killed, along with the Focus ST, which was another dream car for me as a child is a bit of personal.

It‘s so sad that Ford makes the decision to cancel the Fiesta and Focus inclusive the ST Version 😢
Next month i get finally my Focus ST, the last of one of the greatest Car Series that ever made!

Automakers want us in junk cars that are all the same with out any personality. Fun cars don't fit in to the WEF 15min city plan. Cmon. Don't let them take everything from us

[noneyabizz]

They axed it in the states, and now over there?

What's infuriating, we have SUVs wearing the ST badge

[honourisdrumming]

I bought one of the last production STs in September 2022 before I knew it was being discontinued. What a car!

[iantownsend]

Had mine 3 years & I still completely love it

[feedingfrenzy]

Great film 👍
I've had my mk7 ST for 5 years now and I don't think I can ever get rid. It's just too special and I've become really attached with all the journeys I've made, maintenance done etc. A very sad day we're losing the fiesta

[Jake-Watch]

They’ll regret this years down the line

"sounds like half a 911" is what i going to answer everytime someone asks me how my 3 cyl sounds like

I recently bought the 2023 75HP version of Fiesta. And I'm absolutely in love with it. Small engine, only 3 cylinders, I don't care. It's a great car. And I love it's face too. Mine is bright red, and with that big face it looks fun to me, almost like Lightning McQueen. Like a toy car. It's lovely.

[flawdgenius]

Best driving car ive ever owned. Only problem was everyone wants to race you constantly and im way too old for that haha

[bustestlucloc]

I bought one of the 8.5s and I love it to bits. It's all that I'd hoped for and more. A modern day version of my old 205GTI almost. It's our runaround and used most days. I have no idea what I'll replace it with but I have no intention of crossing that bridge for a long time.
