Ford Fiesta ST 1.5 EcoBoost ST-2 3dr Petrol Hatchback

We've never had a truly great sporting Ford Fiesta. The Blue Oval brand has tried of course, building up a hot hatch legacy around this model that goes all the way back to the XR2 of 1981, with a history subsequently embellished by the more powerful RS1800 and RS Turbo models that followed it. All though, were eclipsed by French hot hatch rivals, first a series of small Peugeot GTis, then in more recent years, the Renaultsport Clio. Today's third generation Fiesta ST - this car - must once again take on ever more sophisticated versions of those same two rivals, along with rejuvenated versions of the VW Polo GTI and the Suzuki Swift Sport. It's going to have to be good.
