In this video, I take a look at my Fiesta ST-Line and try to draw a comparison between this and my MK7 Fiesta ST, answering the question, is the ST-Line a worthy compromise over the ST?
As stated at the end of the video, take everything I say with a pinch of salt, as I am a car enthusiast, not a motoring journalist.

Your the only review that talked about age insurance and other factors that come into owning a car I’m looking forward to getting my own some time soon great video brother 👍

Mate you should more of these videos on car comparisons.. the way you explain things is really good

@Coaster_Crazy 2 года назад

I’ve just bought one of these and I love it so far

@ricardini9560 3 года назад

It's not only hp power. You have torque, lsd, suspension, sound, tunability and 500cc difference. St line a good "normal" car. St a great little performance car.

@petedavies1645 Год назад

Thanks for that, really informative as I've just purchased the same model.

Great video my last car was a St line x mk8 5 door and now I have the St 2 different cars really love both in different ways

@chirpywiggins5796 3 года назад

Great video.I test drove the ST-Line X before the Fiesta ST and the difference was massive! The ST line is a nippy, comfortable and well specced car but once you’ve driven the ST, particularly if you like driving you’ll be blown away. I’ve owned several different hot hatches including more recently a Mini JCW and I now have a 2019 ST-2 with the Performance pack. It is the best handling hot hatch I’ve ever driven and the 1.5 3 pot engine is a little monster !

@archiebrown6407 2 года назад

What jcw did you have?

@HillJamie17 2 года назад

I agree, the ST-Line is still nippy but the ST is so much more fun

@markluxon5044 2 года назад

My missus has an St line it's a lovely car for the money. I have an ST3. It's like comparing hartlepool and man City

@TheGazza636 3 года назад

That 0-60 was pretty quick really.good review lad.

@filippogarbelli3022 3 года назад

The true all-rounder is the 1.0 ecoboost but remapped to 160 bhp... All the pros of a "cheaper to maintain" car and a "quite-STish" power delivery

@kristianspencer1978 3 года назад

I agree, iv got a 208 gt line 1.2 3 cylinder turbo, stage one remap and ram air induction kit, 160 bhp 220 ibft, 0-60 in 7 seconds and 135 flat out, but £25 per month insurance, no tax, £46 to fill the tank with momentum, and 55 mpg. Excellent.

@HillJamie17 6 месяцев назад

That’s until the wetbelt in the 1.0 goes to shreds, the ST’s have a chain and it’s just so much better

@ryanhills699 3 года назад

Do you know if I would be able to put 2017-2018 Ford Fiesta ST-Line front and rear bumpers on a standard eco boost model?

@Stevencroasdale 3 года назад

Great video that. Cheers mate

@Northernlanes 3 года назад

the raunchy sound is due to the 3 cylinders, listen to a Triumph motorcycle .. it's the mix of 2 cylinder roughness and 4 cylinder smoothness .. hence the raunchy rumble

thanks ST power is to expensive for me. ST line, the line under the most powerfull fiesta would be great to for a daily day use, right?

@arifazar786 3 года назад

If the ST have tenco dampers and force vectoring springs what does the ST line have. ?

@interceptor-ss8kb 2 года назад

Went to buy a mk8 Fiesta a couple of years back, walked into the showroom and looked around a nice blue St-line but it was parked next to a beautiful ruby red Mondeo St-line X I ended up with the Mondeo even though I didn't need a car that size it just looked so much nicer and more aggressive then the Fiesta which I loved.

We got one of these with my disability allowance back in April, my dad drove it until I passed my test at the beginning of august and I love this car

@josephcampbell6331 3 месяца назад

Hello mate I’m looking at doing the same thing if you still have it how do/did you find it ? I’m 6,5 so normally I would want a bit of a bigger car like the Audi a3. But the fact that it’s no money done is a massive appeal to me.

@hoodnationproductions 3 месяца назад

@@josephcampbell6331 still got it but need to give it back to Ford at the end of April since my lease is ending. I’m getting a cx30 next

@johnpardo4695 3 года назад

I test drove ST-Line and ST and bought the ST as it does drive better and i have loads fun every time i drive it.

@popcorn007008 Год назад

What is the audiosystem like!?

@hoodedr6 3 года назад

Basically buy the ST line and then remap the hell out of it. Then the fun really begins.

@adiohead 3 года назад

I miss my old mk5 Zetec-S 1.6 Mine had 122bhp standard. Best car I ever owned.

@ChristopherGower 3 года назад

Now that's a throwback. Two of my friends had them as second cars. Properly quick for what they were! Have been tempted a few times when i've seen a clean one come up for grabs. Getting rare now.

@danielelliott6235 3 года назад

Slow joining the dual carriageway? I don’t think so. You can only go as fast as the car in front anyway.

@davidbell4949 2 года назад

Had my ST line 140ps for nearly 3 years now so pcp change. love it but very tempted to go with ST next. i do 500 miles a week so just worried about a bumpy ride

@ChristopherGower 2 года назад

You’ll 100% notice a difference in fuel economy - that would be my only comment. I can’t compare suspension though, but I would think they are very similar in ride

@baronxsa 2 года назад

@@ChristopherGower really? My ST is quite bumpy, wouldn’t recommend it for long journeys - anything over 1.5 hours of driving gets a bit tiring. Although the ride improves after 140-150km/h, there are not too many places where you can drive that fast. I’d expect the ST-Line to be better.

@jorisev 2 года назад

01:26 ah yes the classic Ford condensation inside the headlights... I loved my Mondeo, but this issue seems to be persistent across the Ford range

@ChristopherGower 2 года назад

Certainly seems that way! 2 weeks into owning my MK7 Fiesta ST from new (Back in 2014) the same thing happened. Was told it was supposed to happen as the headlight needs to 'breathe'.

@philhill7973 3 года назад

Iv changed back from a mk8 performance edition st to an st line mk7 100ps , roads are to busy for the performance and I was fed up with paying the monthly premiums on pcp cars I will never own .

@ChristopherGower 3 года назад

I totally get it. Cars are mega expensive these days and paying monthly can become draining both mentally and on the wallet!

@philhill7973 3 года назад

@@ChristopherGower yer it is , also watching you car slowly and steadily getting ruined by stone chips and dick heads who put parking dents in the side of your car . Really is a waste of money I’m afraid.

@jamiekwok1833 3 года назад

I want a mk8 st line but don’t know if I’m maybe better getting a st line x. Does a st line have heated seats?

@MegaJason13 3 года назад

You should get the winter package from ford. My st line has heated seats and a heated steering wheel. It’s super comfy in cold months 🙂

@MyZippy13 3 года назад

I’ve gone for the X Edition version. You get even more stuff including electric rear windows and a B&O sound system too

@JamesBondsSkyline 2 года назад

I have had a MK8 fiesta st line with the 1 litre 3 cylinder 99 bhp for 10 weeks now. B&O sound is about the only good thing about. It’s a thirsty engine, just about does the same mpg as my old MK5 golf gti, but very poor for an economical car. Runs badly on E10, starts on 1 cylinder every 2 days before starting fully so need to use E5. Already looking for another car.

@ChristopherGower 2 года назад

We all know the ST is the 'better car' from a drivers perspective, but some people cannot afford one. This video is for the purpose of creating a discussion around this topic and whether the ST-Line is a worthwhile compromise. Glad you enjoy your ST. I loved mine.

@mikeh2006 2 года назад

He didn't say the ST-line is better, just that it's pretty close in a few ways. I'm considering the 1 litre mhev 155bhp version. And that's coming from a 270bhp mercedes c class v6.

@hoop5824 3 года назад

ST is far better than all the base line Fiestas? Errrr, it's the same car, same chassis bar a a few chavy bits added on like bigger wheels, sport bumpers etc.
