It’s now august 2021, I took delivery of my 5 door (only Australian option) 1 month ago, and you’re a German guy doing a car review in English, and out of 20 odd online reviews I’ve watched, yours was clearly the most comprehensive. Well done, thanks.

@CT37BN 6 лет назад

It's a good thing Fiesta size is diminutive so 3-cyl. ( 200hp! ) still appropriate I think but in Focus ( 1.0 3-cyl is offered and same cylinder deactivation like Fiesta! ) could be a bit testing. Mature and classier looks but it's the interior that has improved a lot from previous a car. ( 15:18 ) Car sure is punchy and such a very capable/stable hot hatch. Very impressive driving there Thomas! Fun factor in that Fiesta ST is tops, probably better than Polo GTI. Really entertaining drive and review there Thomas.

@GermanCube Год назад

Great review, but there are 2 things I want to mention: 1. You weren‘t using the launch control, but simply dropping the clutch at redline. The LC holds the RPM around 3k and then you take off. 2. Fuel consumption: Of course, high consumption is possible when the car is driven accordingly, but under normal conditions I‘d say it tops off at 8l/100km (you can also check the usual consumption comparison websites as reference, if you like)

@JeysianFitness 6 лет назад

Das einzige woran ich mich noch gewöhnen muss, ist das Heck! Der Rest ist einfach sehr stimmig! Performance/Fahrgefühltechnisch soll er ja laut bisher allen Test fast perfekt sein. Fahre zurzeit noch den Fiesta ST mk7 und der ist schon ein Traum! Kanns kaum erwarten den neuen probezufahren :) Super Video, wie immer!

@cadenguyen463 3 года назад

I just bought one of these today, with an 8 month waiting period, but it will certainly be worth it, best modern hot hatch I have ever driven.

@94mikyyy 6 лет назад

I quite like that sound. Funnily enough, it reminds me of Ferrari flat 12 engine sound. Surely, I like cabin sound more than every VW group hot hatches.

@AK-47760 6 лет назад

Very nice review as always but I think the numbers of fuel consumption are not very representative because this car has about 1500km full of racing!!So under normal conditions i think you can achieve easy a number of 8-9l/100km average!!!Also when you drive in comfort mode and the car works with 2 cylinders you can definitely achieve even better fuel consumption..!!!

@autogefuehl 6 лет назад

Thanks! Did u watch the whole driving part?

@AK-47760 6 лет назад

Autogefühl Of course and I watched the whole driving but maybe didn't understand exactly what you say...For sure you said that the consumption is very very bad for 3 cylinder about 13l/100km when you drove fast and the best was 8l/100km

Ford has really stepped up it's game. Although the car is at the price of Polo GTI, it can be optioned with heated wheel, heated front window, LSD and even a Lunch Control for a manual, all of which - sadly the Polo lacks.

@kevinhens3257 6 лет назад

Lovely review, I really like this Ford Fiesta. In the beginning I really didn't know what to think of it but is has really grown on me. Love the way you review cars and vans, it is really helpfull if you want to buy a new car. Whenever someone asks me if I can help with searching for a car, I recommend this youtube site. It is long, but you know everything you need to know. Keep up the good work

@autogefuehl 6 лет назад

@loadswine 6 лет назад

Excellent review Thomas! As essentially a 2 seater sports car, the ST looks brilliant. I would struggle with those seats and want more space to carry passengers and shopping, so it was the Polo GTi for me, though the waiting list for that is ridiculously long. 42 weeks!

@autogefuehl 6 лет назад

Wow, that's steep! I am rather disappointed with the MX5 now starting around 30.000€ in Germany - which makes me think of the Fiesta ST. The latter at above 30.000€ places it well out of the market, I think - and hope!

Let's all do our part: call or write Ford US Customer Relationship Center and tell them what their American customers want. If we all contact them, maybe they'll realize it's a profitable business decision to bring the Fiesta ST 6 spd manual transmission to the US/North American market.

@74Noose 6 лет назад

Nice. I usually dont like Fords interior but this one looks very nice.

@Zadster 6 лет назад

Don't worry about a 3 cylinder 1.5 litre engine putting out 200 hp. That is only the equivalent of a 4 cylinder 2 litre at 266 hp. Given the Sierra RS Cosworth was putting out 220 hp in 1987 then I'm sure there is plenty of power headroom .

@sleepygamer5590 6 лет назад

Excellent review. Its good to see this latest Fiesta ST is still keeping the best elements of the previous versions. Yes, shame about the fuel consumption but that is not the reason you buy this car. Just go for an eco car & thats it if you care so much about keeping the MPG low. A great place chosen to test the handling & acceleration at the same time. Cheers.

I like small fast cars, but I really don’t like those daytime running lights. There’s just something about them that bothers me. But the handling looks so fun. Would love to try one out.

@haegarslair6116 3 года назад

The brakes are actually quite weak ... I tuned my 2017 FiST to stage 2 with a torsen differential and it really puts a grin on my face every time I push it. It's simply ... grand! You can drive the car between 7l and 15l per 100km, depending on your right foot. Apart from the Caterham that I rented for one day, this is the most fun car that I've driven. AND it's quite cheap to own one!

@admonix2 5 лет назад

Can’t decide between performance blue and magnetic grey..

@Matt7R 5 лет назад

Everyone seems to be going for the magnetic grey, I kinda liked it at first but I've seen way too many of them now, the blue is really nice. Personally I went for white because I had the blue mk7 and I wanted to try a different colour. The red doesn't suit the car IMO, the black seemed too plain, so I went for the white, I think it looks beautiful! :D

Huge Dilemma.. Fiesta ST vs Polo GTI (now available with manual gearbox from 1.9.2018). I have now BMW 3 F31 auto gearbox, and want to change it to FUN car, but still practical enough to take 2 kids to school and to drive to work with it. Price is about the same, Polo like 10% cheaper, 2.0 tsi capable engine, might keep value longer, great interior with lovely display, on the other hand Fiesta with even cooler sound, maybe more raw and fun.. more unique and rare, with better sound system and true performance car.. havent driven any, no possibility, just can buy one ;-) any ideas ? thanks! ;-)

Meanwhile, in the States.... *sigh* I like how the B-pillar doesn't block the driver's peripheral vision and that interior looks very well laid out. The simplicity of the gauge cluster is also refreshing... love the reduction of distracting animations and graphics. Well-done, Ford. European drivers are so lucky that they get this vehicle in their market.

@ApatLang 6 лет назад

It’s because nobody buys small cars in the states. Everyone here buys ugly crossovers so Ford is just giving them what they want

the gauge cluster design comes from the 80s ford cars but integrated this time zone.

Excellent Sunday morning entertainment for me from Autogefuhl. In your driving review it sounded like the Fiesta suffered from poor insulation from wind and tyre noise, is this really the case or was your microphone a bit sensitive? I never noticed so much wind noise in your other reviews.

In regards to Apple Car Play, you can simply press the voice button on the steering wheel and ask Siri where you want to go, it will then automatically go into Apple Maps and guide you on the big screen and with turn by turn voice commands, whilst playing your selected music like Spotify.. so it’s not exactly the end of the world if Fords satnav system can’t be used.

vhira nah u wont like to if u are into the GTI ;) you cant compare these two. Fiesta is a track car suitable for all day drive, GTI is a all day drive car usable on a track. Possible 5% more lape time on each course for the GTI cause of missing mechanical LSD. + Polo is quite slow from 190-230. 0-200 both cars are about 26,5secs. But 0-230 Fiesta is 39,7 , Polo 48,4 Sec

I also enjoyed your comprehensive review of the BMW (F87) M2 - another car which I am interested in.

Does the limited slip differential benefit MPG and lower tyre wear?

@andrewmoorhouse687 6 лет назад

Generally seems great with the big question mark being over the engine. 8 litres per 100km if you are careful equates to around 35 mpg (UK gallons), city driving at 10 litres is 28mpg and hard driving at 12 litres is 23 mpg. That's really not that great for a small car, even allowing for the fact is a performance version. My 3 litre 6 cylinder BMW would match those figures fairly easily and it's got 340hp and will do 0-62mph (100kph) in 4.6 seconds. I appreciate it's a much more expensive car, but it puts it in perspective and backs up Thomas' theory (and mine) that down-sizing doesn't always pay off in real world driving. The cylinder deactivation in a performance car seems daft too. I do like it in 'Thomas Blue'(!) though and the video from La Sud de la France - trés belle. Great review Thomas!

@autogefuehl 6 лет назад

I agree. Merci :)
