WHY DID YOU DO THIS! YOU RUINED THE FORD FIESTA ST!
Maybe that's a stretch... but they have CANCELLED the Fiesta ST in Australia due to slow sales. It's beyond a shame; when you're behind the wheel of this thing, you are BLOWN AWAY. Let's take a closer look at the recently facelifted 2023 Ford Fiesta ST and talk about why this thing is just so good!

I don't know where you getting your prices from but for a 2021 ford fiesta st you will pay $38,000 in australia. its actually crazy they are not making these anymore.

@timcollins380 Год назад

Ford has stopped Fiesta production globally. The Fiesta was the best selling car in the UK last month. There is more money in making SUVs than small cars. I far prefer cars to SUVs.

It’s not my fault, I bought one new in 2014, it was only 26k. This one basically has an extra 50% in the purchase price. At 26k it was a great car and a great price, at 38k i would buy something used instead.

My wife owns a 2020 mk8 Fiesta (after my very strong insistence that it'll be worth the money) and I feel it's a privilege every single time I get to drive it. It is such a fun car and it feels twice as fast as it really is but that makes it endless amounts of fun!!

@scottbrown7415 Год назад

There's a very big difference between people deciding that they don't want to buy fiesta in any guise and the fiesta being very limited in availability or simply unavailable at all! I believe that Ford has decided to cease the fiesta and divert as many fiesta intenders as possible into the existing offerings. In America, Ford decided to strategically reduce the potential appeal of the Fiesta after 2015. They ended the availability of brighter colors for a while. Leaving buyers of the basic fiesta with a choice of grey, black, dark blue and all other shades being $600 + USD options. Dealers didn't like fiesta because it was less profitable than many two year or three year old used cars. Ford marketing in America made little effort to make more money on the fiesta by offering potential buyers cargo racks and other practical products that small car buyers would have chosen if available at point of sale. They focused instead on decal kits and an odd selection of lighted door sill plates and shift knobs for the automatic transmission optioned ones that had a led readout of lever position, a redundant function that is easily seen in the cluster. All in, it was a disappointment. A global company should have been able to make a good effort with some back-up plan for regional variables.

@andyh5666 Год назад

I did my bit and bought one in Performance Blue (2020 model). Very glad I did. The low numbers on our Aus roads (think they sold something like 400 here, and no models available besides the ST), almost makes this a bit of a sleeper (some would say somewhat generic styling contributes) in as much as only those in the know, are aware of what this car is and capable of.

@karllelliott681 11 месяцев назад

FYI, the Mountune short shifter totally transforms the accuracy of the shift which is pretty good from the get-go! It also reduces the throw by 25% but I didn't really notice that so much. The accuracy though is really improved (on a great shift to begin with) Do the FP seats interfere with gear changing by getting in the way of your arm when shifting? I have heard they do but of course it's not an issue on my MK8 with Recaro seats.

Hey guys. Loved this video. I have been a major fan of this car for years. I used to own a Fiesta XR4 and thought that was brilliant. This was always my lotto car, because, married with a child. I was actually close to being able to justify this as a second car and now it's gone. I'll probably never get to drive one and I live in Tassie, where this sort of car is an absolute hoot.

Definitely wasn’t worth the extra bit of through around fun.

I was in the market for a hot hatch a year ago but the main reason I skipped the Fiesta was those Recaro seats - way too tight and uncomfortable for an average 6.ft guy like me. Went the GR Yaris in the end, but the i20N was a close second followed by the i30 Fastback N. Fiesta ST was last lol

@b-dogs1038 Год назад

@@b-dogs1038 Yep the GR is pretty comfortable, but the seating position is a tad high. I got a seat lowering kit and it's perfect now. Hopefully the seats in the new ST might be better. As far as comparing the two cars, the GR is in a different league entirely, and not just in price lol

One of the big reasons people have moved to SUVs and crossovers, is because of all the damned SPEED BUMPS everywhere, causing more trouble than they're worth. People who buy brand new SUVs tend to have them on three year swap leases or finance and don't care that the suspension gets wrecked as they go over speed bumps at 30+mph.

@ManiacAware Год назад

I will always prefer a car to a SUV, however where I am (Canada) there are plenty of SUVs more practical with AWD (Very nice in winter) that are the same price as FWD cars. I have a 2015 Fiesta which I bought for $3.5k under MSRP, which was already low (~$24k CAD), the fact is not enough has improved with the car (already really good) to justify increasing the prices, while on SUVs they keep putting more power and AWD and suspension kits on them to jack up the prices and still sell more units.

@amaella1 Год назад

I have the fiesta mk8 2019 titanium model since 3 months ago second hand. Extremely happy with it so far even though it only has 100hp (it's the Netherlands and faster cars aren't widely available). Came from a 2004 focus with 100hp and just love something about the turbo ecoboost and how it handles. And the ford feel is just there which I loved in my old focus (in fact so much I kept the poor thing with its 1.6 engine running till 308000 km on the clock). And tbh, the focus was so reliable it never really broke down and the reason I traded it in was cause the exhaust needed to be welded for like 200 euro lol.... I will always miss that car even though the fiesta is certainly far nicer to drive. It was a miracle car that made me fall in love with ford - guess the next one will be a focus again if fiesta isnt made anymore.

I’ve been working in a Ford garage recently and we get to PDI them. We often test drive them if we need to go get anything from the shops and it’s a night and day difference. The ST Line cars are only slightly faster than the standard models, however the proper STs are capable of catapulting your passenger into their seat.

And as the premium Fiesta you can’t get a B&O sound system in the U.K. apparently despite it still being listed as an option on the Ford site. The best you can get is sync 3 so you also lose out on the wireless charger. I’m a tad old school & tend to believe if you’re buying the premium model then they should prioritise that model for the premium options. Absolute lunacy to discontinue the Fiesta & Focus only to replace them with two electric vehicles in 2024. What’s charging infrastructure like? Are the vehicle prices going to drop in price significantly to make them more affordable to the masses? Mining the resources is very dirty so not exactly environmentally friendly. Then we add the demand for energy to charge the vehicles on top of already inflated energy prices. What’s they used market going to be like for these vehicles given the price for a replacement battery could be higher than the second hand value of the car creating vehicles wastage. Where & how are all these battery cells going to be disposed of? I just can’t really see any incentive to switch to an EV, especially as I’d have no way to actually charge it. Is hydrogen not more environmentally friendly? It’s the most abundant element in the universe & yet it’s not exactly close to being part of the mainstream. Looks like my current Ford will be my last Ford given their soon to be lineup of vehicles doesn’t interest me.

@@inverlane1939 I thought it may have been down to the chip shortage, just wasn't sure if the mirrors were still heated or not, my other MK8 was a ST2 it didn't have folding mirrors but they were heated, it is not a biggy really just wasn't sure if the mirrors were faulty or not, yeah it is a pain not having them fold, one neat function is the Ford app I use it to lock my car something I couldn't do with my old car, yeah I thought that may end up with a 5dr, pleased I ended up with a 3dr👍

People buy the car... It's the most popular car in the UK. We have no idea why they are canceling their most popular model it makes no sense. I have a mk8 fiesta st and love it 👍
