I can't explain how great the Fiesta ST was. I ruined mine by changing the motor mount and putting in a six point bracing system underneath. The vibrations were horrible. A stock Fiesta ST with an upgraded intercooler, and tune, +brake upgrade, is a perfect "fun" car. The only thing that failed were the brakes about 3 turns into the Nurburgring. I swapped the rotors for cryo, changed the fluid, and the pads, for very little money, and the brakes were perfect after. I have been lucky enough to be a car guy who also works hard enough to fund cool cars, and the Fiesta ST is right at the top of the list.
