£20k may not seem that much when you’re in the market for a brand-new performance car, but in reality, it’s all you need to get one of the very best available. As CAR reviewer James Dennison explains, the Ford Fiesta ST is the perfect blend of outright and everyday usability, perfect for the hot-hatch fan on a budget.
Watch as we review the very (very) orange Fiesta ST Performance Edition.

This car has the perfect amount of power for British B Roads, the handling is sensational. I would absolutely recommend the Performance pack for the full experience! I came from a quicker Mini JCW but this is more fun to drive and cheaper to run ! Get one 👊

Good review, I bought the Performance Edition(P.E) in December, following having owned a Mk8 ST-2 performance pack. Even though performance figures from Ford are identical the P.E. is most definitely more spritely than the ST-2, the only thing that this can be put down to is the lowered wheel weight. 8Kg or so wouldn't make a deal of difference on a car weighing ~1250kg , but it's where that weight has been taken from is the key here. Similarly the suspension just makes the car a far more adaptable prospect ie it's got town driving covered, along with super controllability under demanding conditions. The colour is very striking(and would have opted for something else if that had been possible) but has grown on me over the months.....to cut a long waffly post short . Worth it? You betcha! this is the best car I have ever owned by far

@philhill7973 4 года назад

Alan Beard same here loads better than the standard mk8 st 2and 3 by far.

@AlanBeardEfviUK 4 года назад

@@philhill7973 Too true, I looked at 'speccing' up a Mk3 pp with the additional kit :- from what I remember it was similar or even more than the PE

@ArboristUk 3 года назад

@@philhill7973 loads better, come on, it had an exclusivity edge, and some subtle performance gains. Personally I would of liked to see updated brakes, motor mounts, air box, and stage one remap. Most would not appreciate the subtle suspension improvements.

@philhill7973 3 года назад

I own a performance edition st , and I paid £24500 for it , before that I bought a new 18 plate st3 for £23300 . So I must of paid to much for an st3 or the pe was a bargain!!

@HillJamie17 Год назад

Considering the price difference I would definitely consider the PE the better deal out of the two, over the long term the Limited Edition cars will always hold their value more than the standard ones. They’re really good cars for the money in my opinion but the limited edition ones will always be special but I think talking 10 years ahead people will see the ST3’s as one of a million if you get what I mean

@t100mmy 3 года назад

The 3 cylinder engine will last until the warranty is up and then you can expect a big repair bill. No way that engine is built for reliability 200bhp for a 3 cylinder 1.5 engine.

@HillJamie17 3 года назад

Didn’t know you were an expert in Ford Engines. Might you also bear in mind that Mercedes 2L 4 cylinder AMG engine pushes out over 420bhp. But nobody seems to even discuss that.

@nadurtha8536 8 месяцев назад

Modern F1 engines are only 1.6L Turbo'd V6s that produce >1000hp. Granted, extremely expense parts and design. But it shows how far engine technology has come on in recent years.
