Fiesta ST is a turbocharged Go Kart & sounds like a total beast

I've had one since November.
To be fair, that exhaust in the video is most definitely not how they sound stock.. haha. That is one of the more aggressive sounding aftermarket exhausts for the FiST. At any rate, absolutely love the car. I mean I had high expectations, but it turned out so much better. I'm sure (especially on this forum) it's not for everyone. But even if you have no intention of owning one, it's probably worth a test-drive. Definitely one of the more fun cars released in the last while & has had pretty consistent & stellar reviews. |

Hey, that's the MRT Fiesta ST! They built up an FiST for SEMA this year and is included in the XBOX ONE Forza 5 game!
Here was the final build: SEMA interview: and some In-Game fun!

The wife had a 2011 for commuting to work. It got great mileage and the best part, when she quit commuting and did not want it anymore the dealer bought it back for what we paid for it. Apparently they were in high demand.

Reviewers are saying "It shouldn't be this fun." I'm really curious in how ut drives. Any torque steer?

Yeah, I thought it was pretty weird they painted the car green rather than just starting with a green base? Interesting build though!
I am not complaining about the mpg... I almost feel guilty having this much fun and still saving at the pump. Tasty, it's a blast... I can't stress enough.. Even if you don't ever want one, or intend to own one... Ya gotta take one for a rip. lol Definitely some torque steer. Pretty noticeable in both 1st & 2nd. Although some of the guys who've started with suspension mods & tunes with better tires have claimed improvements. The Torque steer is undeniable none the less. Haven't really found that it ever bothers me or deters me from having a blast though. |

I did get a chance to drive it while it was still stock... definitely a BLAST to drive! If it had been out as the same time the Focus ST had been released it would have had a tough decision!

ummmm.... let me... this section is titled:
General Automotive + Other Cars Discussion Come chat about other cars. I'm thinking the Fiesta falls in that category...

I test drove the Focus ST yesterday since I'm looking to change up what's in the garage a little bit. I couldn't believe how much I liked that little car. Torque steer is definitely there, but the fun and smile the car puts on your face you don't mind. I was very surprised. If the Fiesta FT Is anything like the Focus I'm sure it's just as fun. |

I'm actually considering of buying one as a commuter car.
