Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

Obviously felt nowhere near as powerful as my Focus
Is your Focus remapped? I had a standard Focus ST in the past and the Fiesta really does not feel much if in any slower in my opinion.
The Focus only has 7 more foot pound of torque and 21 more bhp and is a about 200kg heavier.
The mp215 mountune kit for the Fiesta gives it pretty much the same 0-60 and 30-60 in gear times as a the MK3 Focus ST

Yeah it's got an AS induction kit, Airtec FMIC, 3" downpipe, sports cat, 3" mongoose cat back and collins stage one map, est. about 280-290BHP/330LBFT. The ST I drove was a standard one. Felt quite quick but not quite as torquey as this. But bound to be a LOT better on juice etc, cheaper tax and still rapid due to much less weight
Over 45mpg! did you cruse there at 65mph?
I can't even get close to the Evo fast fleet fiestas monthly mpg figure, I'm always 3-5 lower
No, cruise on 70mph most of the way with the odd 40 or 50 stretch. A few full throttle bursts here and there. This was an indicated 45mpg on the dash though so in reality could be a little less.
I reckon i could have got more if i had really baby'd it.

God this thing is good fun.
So torquey as well for such a small engine. 4th gear on full throttle is particularly grin inducing!
Love the sound symposer as well. I like how it barks and growls at you
It does just pivot around you in the corners as well. Where my old Octy VRS would just understeer and not let you give it much throttle through a corner, this thing just has loads more turn in than you think and lets you give it a decent amount of throttle even half through a tight turn. Marvellous.

Good stuff
Did you get yours with the MP215 upgrade?
I'm planning to have it done on mine at some point this year.
I plan to keep the car for a good while ( cant afford a new car every few years!) so i am going to wait at least a year before getting the MP215 done. I am definitely going to do it though and trying to resist not getting it done straight away !
Well, my MP215 fund has been set back a little:
First world problems
Done similar to my ST when getting out of the way of an ambulance
I'm going with ContiSport 5s, new reviews on Evo say they're the best tyre at the minute.
