2017 Ford Fiesta ST-2

[Braintax]

Got tired of fixing my old car and so treated myself to this, it's a 2017 Fiesta ST2 with (nearly) all the options ticked.

I'm loving the grunt and surprising efficiency (a genuine 40+ mpg). The chassis seems as good as all of the reviews had lead me to believe, too.

I've added nearly 1,000 miles in just a couple of weeks, it really is addictive.

Anyway, here's the car after a good clean.





The silly illuminated kickplates


The heated Recaros look a little odd but are perfect for when you're pressing on


Mountune MP215 kit for Christmas, I reckon!

Very nice - you're going to have a blast with it, they're sensational little machines. Looks the business in black too! And don't knock those illuminated kickplates, I think they're cool

Here's my ST3 in Spirit Blue...

Cheers, and nice car! It was either black or the blue like yours, both look great imo.

Good choice. Did the fact that there is a new model/facelift have any leverage on the price? Really keen to get one myself but wanted to see if the new fiesta had any bearing on it.

Cheers. Nope, the limited availability and favourable reviews of this model mean that you're very unlikely to get much leverage – also, I don't think the new one is expected for a little while yet.

I've just picked one of these up too. Once I had got used to front wheel drive again, it's been a right laugh!



Got the Mountune roll restrictor arriving tomorrow, then it'll be onto the 215 kit.

Lovely, will be interested to hear how you rate it.

Personally I've found it pretty easy to average 40+mpg on longer journeys. Got 375 miles to my first tank but a majority of that was bobbing along at 60mph between Bristol and Milton Keynes.

Nice to see a 5dr Patch888, I realise they didn't sell them for long.
