Fiesta ST is a great car.

Test drove the Fiesta ST due to all the positive comments from multiple magazines and all I wanted to say is that the car drives awesome and nimble just like the evo.

I believe most evo fan will enjoy this car. Such a good drive. I'm tempted to lease one as a toy beater car. Wow, can't believe I said that

Exactly! Imagine if they were AWD! Would cost more but it'd be cool.

Well with Dodge coming out with a AWD SRT4 Dart so I'm sure we'll see an AWD Ford Focus ST or a AWD Fiesta ST.

I was actually disappointed when I test drove the Focus ST. Our local track runs the Ford Octane Academy where they have both Fiesta's and Focus's and all of the driving instructors say the Fiesta is the better sports car.

KB's? Yea, but it's a $500,000 Fiesta RS AWD with a 2.0L and 600-hp, 665 lb-ft.

Either way, it's fairly obvious that a good amount of Fords learning from WRC rally racing is going into the Fiesta. It's kind of like Fords Evo.

I ended up leasing one. Feels like a rally car and the best FWD car I've owned. Never noticed any torque steer and great around corners. I was surprised it came with Sirrus, touch screen, auto lights, keyless go, and a decent shifting 6 speed that is not Subaru notchy. I feel this is the most fun car for $20 grand you can buy today.

Now thinking about the last 2015 Evo to park next to it.

I saw an orange one yesterday. Pretty decent looking little car. I may have to go test drive one.

Something different and fun so why not. Just spreading the word to test drive one . You can always say it's too small if the dealers want you to buy.

I picked up one as well today. Great little car. Expect a more involved review thread from me and of course tuning muses in the near future.
