Just had a look on How Many Left - looks like there are about 1500 Clio turbos on the road, and 28,000 Fiesta STs, which would explain why I see about 5 STs every time I pop to the shops, and also probably why you hear about them getting stolen more often than anything else.
I hate how common they are, especially in spirit blue that mine is, makes it not stand out at all despite it being a vivid colour.dieseluser07 said:

On the contrary, I quite like seeing them everyday.It means the British public still have an appetite for driving fast(ish) cars despite the obstacles put in front of them.
Just a thought.

it'll be interesting to see what the new one is like. I just want to know what the weight is before ordering one (ford refuse to tell me)
if it's not 50+kg lighter then i'm not interested
I'd be amazed if it was lighter. Something around the same would do me - I'm waiting on the first reviews to come out and am hoping it hasn't lost too much of the "old skool" appeal of the current one.if it's not 50+kg lighter then i'm not interested

I'll be surprised if the 1500cc 3 cylinder engine is better on anything other than emissions. It may actually shore up values on the present ST in time.blade7 said:

Well we already know it puts out a dollop more torque. The curbweight should be easy enough to estimate. How much heavier is a current 3cyl, 3dr "ST-Line" in comparison to the last generation?
But that would be a 3cyl vs 3cyl weight not a 4cyl vs 3cyl or am I missing something?HJMS123 said:

Would it be wrong to sell my P1 Impreza and have 2 fiestas.... 
Yes it would.Though I'd guess you could have more than 2 Fiestas for the price of a P1 these days
Seriously considering going back to an ST Fiesta once my lease is up though, can't stop thinking about how much fun it was to drive after reading this thread!

I might sell later this year because I just don't use it enough, if I can get a sum of money knocking on the door of £20K then I'd probably be happy!

Just dropped mine off for a few more mods Seriously considering going back to an ST Fiesta once my lease is up though, can't stop thinking about how much fun it was to drive after reading this thread!
They really are a hoot to drive
t. So we’re the Bridgestones. Other than that no complaints from me.

All this arguing about it has made me go and look at a 17 plate ST3 on Saturday
Just took mine for a little drive, it is pretty rapid, especially with the mountune 215 kit on.Will be tuning it more this summer, theres so much aftermarket stuff out there if thats your thing.
