Ford Fiesta ST (2012 - 2017) 1.6 EcoBoost ST-2 3d (2013/13) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Says that I want a fast hatch before the time of making babies with my lady friend.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone likes it but thinks it's expensive, missus won't stop prodding the heated seats on, my parents even loved it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, love the power and comfort.

What are you likely to buy next?

Maybe a focus St as I doubt I'll want to upgrade until I have children.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£14,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, got a good deal on finance and got the rare sat nav option in the car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had a mk6 ST anyway and wanted a new car/upgrade, took a test drive and fell in love.

What was the dealer like?

Very good, was main ford dealer he even sorted my private plate transfer and other paperwork.

What's it like to drive?

Very punchy engine, there is hardly any lag in power from the turbo. The sound symposer gives a nice growl in the cabin. Turning circle is very good and the recaro seats hold you in whilst still warming your bum and back.

What's it like to park?

Mirrors are chunky and easy to judge the sides of the car but I find it difficult sometimes to judge how far back I am to objects behind because the rear window is so small.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The sill plate didn't light up on one side (common warranty problem) and the stereo voice control didn't work but that was sorted with an update of my software.

What's most practical about your car?

It suits my daily need of fun and driving to work, it still has a large boot for the shopping and it's nippy enough for city use.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I LOVE the recaro heated seats and the stereo with voice control is fantastic.
