I finally drove a fiesta yesterday and it's on my short list of cars to buy soon.

Wicked fun.

You should jump on them for sure. its getting harder to find recaro pkg fiesta st’s. the fiesta st was like my third choice after camaro z1le and c7gs

Sold the kouki I was building for 10 years for a..... Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ. The Jeep was great but miss the shit out of my old 240. Wish I had the money for both. Now I have a E46 coupe BMW because the gas was horrendous on the WJ. Maybe one day when I decide to grow up and make some real money I can get a 240 for track and make the E46 a M3 JZ or LS street car.

I bought a Fiesta ST a few years ago, its an amazing car for the price.

didnt you have an evo x? howd the fiesta compare to that? i imagine more fun to daily drive and pick up groceries.

VROOOM · 11-05-2019, 02:45 PM

Yeah i had an Evo X for a while. The Evo was fun, it was a little too easy to go fast though. i had a street racing ticket back in 00 and i almost got another one in the Evo. so i sold it. The Fiesta is a little more fun around town, its so light(compared to cars today) and has a ton of mid range torque. Its cheap to buy, cheap to drive, and amazingly fun, a really hard to combo to find.

The hatch is tiny though. grocery shopping for 3 people fills the hatch.

Really? Did you fold half the seat down? You can do that, or fold both down then there is a ton of room. In fact the cars are more planted in corners with the rear seats folded down. I did that about a month ago and I have put them back up. lol

really? I thought the evo x was always a tad slowish in the straights. At track events I often got such bad heat soak I could barely pass people who waved me to drive by them. It is really fun in the corners and drive it like a momentum car. On the street I find it pretty balanced but on the track I think it more as a driving a slow car fast and good for learning. I should add my evo is stock power & cooling wise

I like the fiesta ST a lot. I think it’d be perfect for many of us as an only car. sucks bad we dont get the new Fiesta ST, although I suspect that isnt going to be as fun as the current one. Really hoping Jim Hackett gets replaced.

only qualm I have against the fiesta are no ohlins coilovers avail for them. what a fantastic combination that’d be.

But guis... ya boy Dougie-D only gave it a 53!

Maybe a half-dash gutted fiesta ST would be a tolerable cabin. Curiosity is building tho.

For sure I would never take the overpriced RA over the Fiesta St. I would sooner get a challenger instead and keep the yellow bumper guards.

The CTR is nice if not for the track cooling issues and continued ADM. I don't care what others think. Love the way it looks bar the lame red accents. Would throw on an even bigger wing if I had one, just to piss off the people who hate it if nothing else. '20 models may get phoenix yellow paint which would be perfect on a car like that.
