One of the best hot hatches ever made for just £7000. Sign us up.
Approach a corner and things get even more thrilling. The steering is quick to the point of being razor-sharp, but it never becomes wearing, only more delightful. Grip is tremendous and the handling’s a delight, with a rare adjustability that makes it feel especially playful.
The payback for this handling finesse is a very firm, jiggly ride at low speeds, although it gets more comfortable the faster you go, and it gives the ST exactly the sort of body control it needs to fulfil its function as a spirited hot hatch. If you're worried about the ride, try an example from 2015 onwards, because some subtle alterations were made to the rear suspension that improved comfort ever so slightly.
The interior is relatively spacious and has some extra sporty touches over regular Fiestas, although it still comes with a confusing array of small buttons for the stereo and a desperately small 4.2in infotainment screen. The driving position is set rather high, but it comes with comfortable Recaro sports seats as standard, and they hold you in place well. There’s plenty of fore/aft adjustability to accommodate a taller driver, too.
There’s a reasonable amount of space in the back for two – or three for short hops – and there’s enough space in the boot for a couple of suitcases or a large weekly shop. If you're after the most practical Fiesta ST, you'll need the rare five-door model that was introduced in the final year of production .
There are potentially three trim options to seek out. The ST-1 trim gives the Fiesta ST-style 17in alloy wheels, a body kit, rear spoiler, rear diffuser and honeycomb mesh grille, as well as a DAB radio and fabric-upholstered Recaro seats.
