Gower's Fiesta ST

After spending a year in the 172 cup, I decided that as much as I love the car I wanted something newer and more comfy for doing lots of motorway miles, but still have similar economy and performance. Went and test drove the new clio 200 (didn't think much of it) then test drove the new ST a day later and fell in love with the car. After waiting 2 months I picked it up this week! Its a brilliant little car

The Spec is:

- ST2
- Style Pack
- Molten Orange
- Cruise Control

So far I've done 370 miles and loved every one of them. Its great at being a comfy motorway cruiser at 70, and then drop it down a gear or two for the B roads and it becomes a different car. Just perfect for what I wanted. Averaging 32 MPG atm. Could be better but I love the noise!

How did you manage to swing cruise control? I heard from the dealer when I was getting my quote that it wasn't an option!

Looks lovely mate!

It was an option along with other bits and bobs from new September orders.

I ordered late September, had estimated build of November but that's now changed to estimated December! :(

Thanks mate. When i ordered it wasnt an option either. It was just by chance i had seen someone mention it in MarkCups ST thread, so emailed the dealer just in time before the car was built

They're great cars aren't they. Picked my spirit blue with nav up last weekend and love it. Gearbox is super slick as well. Really noticed the difference when I took the 182 out yesterday and gear change felt long and sloppy! Love the molten orange you've gone for

They are fantastic, nice mate. spirit blue or molten orange are a must, I wanted the nav but didnt stretch to it in the end

Have to admit I'm not a fan of the looks (much prefer the pre-facelift) but the colours on these all look amazing, they've beaten Renault on every possible aspect people look for in a hot hatch. Got a feeling these will become the 1*2's of the future. Enjoy :)

Looks fantastic. They just get better and better, I'm on 3500 miles now and it pulls so much stronger.

Love it. I'm so glad how well it's hit the market. I'm not even a Ford fan-boy. But the MK7 Fez is such a good car - I can only imagine how good the ST version is.

Lovely mate. Just think Spirit Blue is hard to beat.

So glad they came to their senses and offered cruise. Lot of people would spec it.

Cheers. I really like spirit blue too. But I test drove a molten orange one and the sun was out :p. Me too. makes commuting just that bit more relaxing

Hi everyone. Not done much with the car in the almost 7 months I've had it except mountune. Im thinking of getting a new set of wheels.

Has anyone got any ideas? Speedline Turinis seem to be the best bet at the moment.

If anything those wheels bring out the colour alot more. Was never a fan but it is slowly growing! Looks much better in real life than in
photos.

Is going from Clio 182 to a Fiesta ST a good move?
