Ford Fiesta 1.5 EcoBoost ST-3 [Performance Pack] 3dr Review
Category: Small car
Section: Version review

The model
Read full reviewThe Ford Fiesta is superb to drive, smart inside and well equipped, plus it offers a broad range of trim levels – from the affordable Trend to the SUV-inspired Active – to cater for many tastes and budgets. It’s one of the very best small cars you can buy, but it can prove quite pricey in higher trims and the rival Volkswagen Polo just has the edge for ride comfort, safety and rear-seat space.

The engine
See full engine specsThe Fiesta ST's engine is a cracker, and so much more soulful than a VW Polo GTI's. It pulls heartily from low revs and enjoys spinning up to its limiter, all the while accompanied by a muscular, growling soundtrack that’s enhanced tastefully by a Sound Symposer.
