Today we’re getting behind the wheel of one of our current favorites in the hot hatch segment. Weighing in at just over 2700 pounds, the ST is outfitted with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four cylinder motor which generates 197 horsepower and 214 foot-pounds of torque, up a whopping 77 HP and 102 LB-FT from the standard Fiesta. Accordingly, it comes as little surprise that the ST has plenty of oomph when dipping into the throttle, and paired with a stiff chassis, uprated suspension and torque vectoring wizardry which equates to quick turn-in and flat, generally neutral cornering, the Fiesta ST is an amicable companion for attacking your favorite twisty stretch of road.<br /> <br />Beyond its admirable performance characteristics, the Fiesta ST also features 2 + 3 seating, more aggressive bodywork than the standard Fiesta, a six-speed manual transmission, and impressive fuel economy – to the tune of 35 miles per gallon the highway. Starting at $21,400, the Fiesta ST includes a premium audio system from Sony, push button start, and various sporty interior touches as standard. Our tester came with the optional Recaro sport seats, a navigation system and the eye-catching Green Envy paint, bringing the grand total to $25,610 with destination and delivery.<br /><br />http://www.windingroad.com/articles/reviews/wr-tv-2014-ford-fiesta-st/<br /><br />Visit us at http://www.windingroad.com and http://www.windingroadracing.com<br /><br />Wear headphones!
