Want something a bit sportier? ST-Line trim is probably for you because it brings 17in alloy wheels, stiffer sports suspension, figure-hugging seats and various sporty styling touches, including a bodykit and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. Bearing in mind that one of the main reasons to buy a Fiesta over the competition is its pert handling, we reckon that the sharper-driving ST-Line is the pick of the range, and still offers great value for money.

We haven't tried this range-topping diesel engine. Unless you do a serious amount of miles, we'd suggest you look at one of the 1.0 Ecoboost petrols instead. Diesel engines rarely make sense in cars this small.
