Is anyone familiar with nationwide-cars.co.uk? They have some reasonable deals on new Fiesta models (decent when considering current prices). It seems they've been around for a while, but there are not many reviews that I can find.

Also, I'm not sure if the higher priced models are worth it as it's difficult to compare the differences. I wanted an ST, so the ones I'm looking at are-
1.0 EcoBoost ST-Line 5dr
1.0 EcoBoost ST-Line X 5dr
1.0 EcoBoost ST-Line Vignale 5dr
1.0 EcoBoost 155 ST-Line Vignale 5dr
1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid mHEV 125 ST-Line 5dr
1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid mHEV 125 ST-Line X 5dr

I think the main difference between the ST-Line and the ST-Line X are keyless entry, bigger wheels and nicer seats, but if there are any others, I must have missed them. I'm not if the Vignale is worth an upgrade. That model doesn't appear on the Ford website for the Fiesta, so I don't know what the main differences are as I can only find reviews for that model, not something that compares it to other models.

I'm also not sure if the hybrid is worth it as I've seen mixed feelings when looking at opinions online. I'm happy with anything that makes it more economical, but not if that increases the chance of things going wrong, so might discount this option if it introduces reliability concerns.

I'd welcome any input if anyone is familiar with any of this. Thanks in advance.

You will be fine with the basic St-Line. Good cars but as above, it is not an ST. It is what should be called a Zetec-S. Like the good old days before virtue signalling and Sam Smith's tight costumes.

The Vignale is the modern day Ghia spec. Not worth it in my opinion.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I should have said - I know they're not proper STs, I meant I wanted the ST-style trim, but I know they aren't an ST engine.

This might help.

From memory you need to go Vignale or ST-line X to get climate control, heated seats and full digital dash so worth it to me.

That is helpful, thank you. It's quite difficult to compare the features on the website, so that makes it easier.

Anyone have any experience on whether the hybrid version is worth it?
