Ford Fiesta ST: The Pocket Rocket Hot Hatch
The Fiesta ST was a celebrated hot hatch, turning the humble Fiesta into one of the most fun and affordable performance cars on sale.
The Fiesta ST took Ford's subcompact and added a turbocharged engine, sport suspension, and sharp steering to create a genuine driver's car. Critics repeatedly hailed it as one of the best-handling and most entertaining hot hatches at any price.
With a turbo three- or four-cylinder engine producing around 197 horsepower in later versions, the Fiesta ST delivered eager performance and a playful, agile chassis that punched far above its modest price.
Beloved by enthusiasts and journalists alike, the Fiesta ST proved that affordable cars could deliver world-class driving thrills, becoming a modern hot-hatch icon.
