The Ford Fiesta ST is one of the all time great hot hatchbacks - here's how to get a used example into your garage
The steering is near-telepathic in its responsiveness, the gearshift is wonderfully slick and the suspension is suitably firm, but perhaps the best part is the way this car turns. With amazing chassis balance, the Fiesta ST can rotate on a dime, and you can feel it happening beneath you. This means the car is easy to place through a bend, and it’s agile and adjustable enough to slide the rear around in a corner with a lift of the throttle.
There aren’t many cars that are as fun and engaging for this kind of money – as little as £6500 in some cases. Plus, it’s still very much a small hatchback, so you can use it every day and it’s relatively cheap to run. But let’s circle back for a second. At the beginning, we said the Fast Ford lineage can often be traced back through the generations, citing my father’s RS Turbo as an example.
