COMPARISON WAR | FORD FIESTA ST 'PERFORMANCE' EDITION vs. ST 'EDITION'

ABOUT TIME! Some content with the limited run Mk8 Ford Fiesta ST Edition provided to me by the legends at Ford UK!

The question I will start with, you're a big hot hatchback fan and you've done your research where it has resulted in the choice of buying a Fiesta ST but you have been finessed by Ford's marketing strategy on which one to pick!

Here I have the opportunity to discuss and compare both Ford's special limited run Fiesta ST's; the ST Performance Edition and the ST Edition; both stand out from the crowd thanks to their unique metallic paint options

But apart from the colour choice, does either of these rare models often anything over a standard ST3 guise and does it provide value for money like a hot hatch should?, that's where it's time to watch and find out!

I have the performance edition st, 69 plate and 5300 miles on the clock. It gets used on sunny days so not very often. Great car to drive and I have Mountune m260.

As an owner of a performance edition I rate the coil overs, the ride is excellent for such a low car with short wheel base.

Thank you, great for deciding which colour I prefer! High quality shots from lots of different angles to see the colours in different lights and having them next to each other at the same time; spot on mate!

Was a pleasure to help with the video Chris. 👍🏼

Never been a fiesta St fan but very good video. Didn't think the audio was bad at all.

[carlgreen]

Great video, audio isn’t too bad. I think I’d have the orange over the blue, but that’s just me

[kingfisher]

Just to clarify, This is the same orange as the RS Focus Heritage as stated on the launch on fords website but different from the MK 3 & 4 ST Focus’s .
The £500 price hike between the edition & performance edition is the gloss black roof & mirrors, whereas the performance edition is all orange.

You missed out the biggest difference from the Standard ST3, the LSD. This alone makes it worth buying

[richardburnssmith]

Is the blue st going to ford fair 2022

[ruisilva]

Do they both get the factory coil overs or just the PE?

[Trimmtech]

WHAT ARE THESE WHEELS CALLED AND WHAt sizes are they please ?

[stephenheyes]

I was going to trade in my ST2 for an ST Edition, unfortunately the deal fell through, the dealership couldn't get another garage to release one they had in stock, I was sold on the Azure Blue 👍 Iam currently waiting on an ST3 and thinking about it, maybe it was a blessing in disguise not sure if it is worth another £1, 500 over the car I have specified, gutted that I missed the boat I do like the Blue 🤦I think they will hold their value I think there will be one more MK8 special edition before a brand new model comes, hopefully they will throw more toys on the run out model 👍

[chirpywiggins]

Get the Mountune M235 put on it and these cars become seriously rapid 👊

[allanrobertson]

Good video. Sound quality never put me off at all. I have the 2017 Focus ST3 but really like the orange performance Fiesta. Am I mad fancying a swap 🤷🏻‍♂️

[WszystkoNaPatencie]

I have blue version st performance limited for sale 2020

[christian_st]

Soy dueño de un st edition y la verdad que es muy muy buen coche

[seanr]

So its basically just been wrapped a different colour... no major to none performance upgrades...

[bristolbullterrier.]

Both should have had a mountune 225 put on them for the prices.
