Ford Fiesta ST – lighter!
Today, a "pumped-up" version of the civic fiesta, the 2016 Fiseta ST, fell into my hands. And she's a lighter because they've put a 180-horse turbo into this baby, and no one expects a cute little fiesta to be so fast in traffic light racing.
Appearance: the car looks very nice, and due to the overlays on the bumpers and door sills, it is also aggressive. The spoiler and diffuser on the rear bumper give a more sporty appearance, and the 17-alloy wheels on low-profile rubber look great and complete the overall picture.
Interior: FORD knows a lot about a comfortable fit, which is why the Fiesta ST is equipped with RECARO buckets with amazing lateral support. When you sit in them, you get the feeling that the seats were custom-made for you. I was also very pleased with the leather steering wheel, which fits comfortably in my hands, pedal pads, door sills with the "ST" logo. Otherwise, we have a regular Fiseta in front of us, with the same luggage compartment and a small amount of space in the back row.
Chassis: the chassis of the Fiesta ST can be described in one word – tough! It is understandable, all the subtleties were honed in the "green hell" of the Nurburgring. But due to this rigidity, the car stands amazingly in turns, and taking into account the 17 "rollers" and low-profile rubber, it is a pleasure to change lanes in urban traffic. The steering wheel is sharp and informative, reacts instantly, excellent feedback from the road. But for all of the above advantages, you have to pay for the tightness of the suspension. And given that the "combat" version is also 15 mm lower than the "civilian" version, bumps on the roads must be handled with extreme caution.
According to the engine: the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine produces 180 horsepower and 240 newtons of torque. This allows the "esteshka" to exchange the first hundred in 6. 9 seconds. The pick-up is wonderful, the dynamics are more than enough. The consumption is stated by the manufacturer at the level of 8 liters in the urban cycle, and this result can be achieved if the "pensioner" driving mode is activated. But the ST is not bought to save fuel, and the real consumption in normal mode is 9. 5-10 liters of 95 liters per hundred in the city. And if you do not limit yourself in terms of the accelerator pedal, then the consumption tends to 12 liters.
We get a "hot hatch" for the city and the highway with a tightly packed rigid suspension, excellent handling, a very powerful engine and reasonable fuel consumption. As a result, the Fiesta ST can be a small, docile hatchback for the city, but when necessary, it can unleash its full potential, give its best and surprise the flow with acceleration and maneuverability.
