- Ford Fiestas have always been good to drive, and the Fiesta ST is truly brilliant. But what about the Fiesta ST-Line, with its stiffer suspension and 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine? Well it could be a real sweet spot...

I’ve had mine for four years and still love it!
I bought a ST Line X and love it. I went for the panoramic sunroof as well. It is so much fun to drive.
Had a 2018 125 ST Line in Deep Impact Blue but just swapped for a 2020 ST Line X with the 155 mild hybrid. Absolutely incredible car, and a worthy upgrade with the extra goodies you get. B&O System is wicked and performance from the extra 30 bhp makes me smile 😃
Picking my ST-LINE X 140bhp 20 plate in black up this Friday 11th, driven fords most of my life, a lot of reviews bang on about being a young mans car, well at 62 just put that one to bed, thanks for taking time out to do the review, all information useful.
Recently bought an 18 plate st line 140, really enjoying it. Great chassis and accomplished ride
Just bought an St-line x 140
I've owned a ztec back in 2009 an St 2014. Recently rented an St line 125 and loved it. The new St line x is by far my favourite to drive of the fiestas for the same reasons you've mentioned. I like that it's not quite as growly as the St and the interior is superb - minus the plastic but that can be changed. I'm looking forward to making some slight modifications to this car ✌️
Wohoo another review. nice one, i have a soft spot for the Fiesta ST/ST-Line
Nice review, i test drove a focus ST-Line X and it was also brilliant, very well equipped and looked good as well. Kind of getting best of both worlds.
I bought a 2020 Fiesta st line x 155 mild hybrid and it is fantastic and very quick. Super impressed with it.
I had one 1.0 100 manual gearbox (3 door and panoramic roof) during 5 years (185.000 km)... only pleisure with it (dynamic, sexy and efficient consumption (never up 6l/ 100.
Now I have one ST same version. Very impressive and good car. But really, you can have really fun with 1.0 and 100 hp because the chassis , the stearing are just amazing and the engine puchy..
Enjoyed your review thinking of buying one now,Robert
Awesome review, loved your style. Ordered my ST-Line X in December and it's being produced in a few weeks. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
@sclol707 It's standard on the 2020 ST-Line in the Netherlands.
@sclol707 alright. Did you order one yourself too?
I just have ordered mine 2020 Fiesta St line 125hp. But I have it with all the extras that the ST Line X has (cruise control, lane assistance, illuminated cup holders, tinted windows etc) and all is standart for 17k euros. Pretty good deal I'd say!
I’m getting my Ford Fiesta st-Line brand new this month I can’t wait to have it
I am considering a 155ps st line x edition. Thanks for a balanced review.
I’ve got an ST line X, just like the one driven by yourself, but with a little bit more extras, mainly a sunroof, B&O sound system...
Getting my brand new st line X on Monday! Can't wait 🥳
Love mt ST-Line, however it seems to attract angry ST drivers either right up my rear or racing past to prove a point😂
😂😂😆
I noticed the same, though i usually later make it clear "who's boss" once i get on my R6 and encounter them on mountain roads 😁
Great Video Review. The Ford Fiesta ST-Line Is one of the most popular In the UK. Things good If there was soft materials and more room In the back
I have a 21-Plate Fiesta ST-Line X Edition 155 Mhev. Quite simply the BEST car I have ever owned! I had a 20-Plate Ibiza FR Sport before. I LOVED the Ibiza...but...it didn't like cornering (the Fiesta sticks to the road like a limpet) and the Sport Mode was wheezy. The Fiesta does both like a champ! I'm just so upset it's now stopped production. The Fiesta frame and engine is the Puma platform. Love the Puma body styling so I know exactly what my next car will be :) A Puma ST Vignale please!
I had a zetec and just got an ST-Line. It is firmer but not uncomfortable (17s), but it is fantastic fun. I adore it. And just look at it!
Bravo! Good little car the ST-Line.
Wish this car was available in South Africa, such a beautiful car!
I've bought a used one and I like it very much so far. It's fun to mess with people on the left lane (I'm living in Germany).
I would go for the ST every time.
However, I just bought a new ST-line because I have a wife --_--
This car overall is great my my biggest problem with it is the headlights. Dipped beam is like driving by candle light. No matter what bulbs you put it, it makes no difference.
I got 2019 st-line in the US. Too bad they stopped production here in the US. :(
Well having driven a Fiesta Titanium X I moved to a Fiesta Active Titanium as it is geared to the older driver with higher set levelling but to be honest and if money was no exception I'd probably try out the ST-Line as long as it came with an automatic gearbox.
Picking my ST LINE up on the 16th of Feb and like a kid at christmas itching to get behind the wheel. 12 days and counting
How's it been?
@@quaaludes7898 it’s been fantastic it’s got the wow factor for me well chuffed
I would go for st line x
it will be my car in approximately 1 month !
Can’t wait to get my st line x...hopefully will be delivered in March although it was originally supposed to be delivered in February so crossing fingers they stick to the March date
I have one of these but I have been to 3 dealers about the gearbox issues and they don’t want to know
I have the 2017 St line but mine doesn’t have that metal fiesta logo on it and I can’t find out why. Anyone know?
Excellent review. I've changed my mind about Fiesta after watching this video
I am also already suscribed.
I expect that the Fiesta st-line with the 1.0 EcoBoost 155 hp mhev engine of the Puma is going to be a very interesting car.
Café räser all of your comments are not very clever. If you have access to CZcams then do your research on internet. Go on Ford website of country you are from and do the bloody homework. 1.0 155 hp Fiesta might come in future regarding the fact Puma has got one 🤦🏼
Bought an ST-line, will be collecting it soon. ST-line with a couple of extra options in my country is still about 10000 euros cheaper than the basic ST-line (23000 vs 33000), not 900. Definitely would have gone for the ST if the difference was only about 900.
Nice review, my only gripe with the Fiesta is the interior & boot space, VW Polo and Seat Ibiza can easily sit adult behind adult with no issues, very cramped in the Ford. The only thing which lets the VW group cars down is that they don't have the 150 bhp engine...Yet.... albeit it is going in the t-cross
Seat Ibiza is a really good car this year. I have an ST line but have been in an Ibiza and was surprised at how good it was.
Am looking at one of these but it’s the 2017 reg 138bhp any comments that will help me here?
i have a ford stline fiesta and a fun car ;)
I hope these are good, I've just ordered mine in Frozen White, Due to pick it up in September :D
How did you like it? Im picking up mine tomorrow!
@@joel17waters Very good, Good on fuel too, I have the 140bhp engine and it’s been remapped.
i have one....great
Does it come in automatic?
Have an ST line, looks better than the ordinary Fiesta, but I hate the firmer suspension, makes it ride a lot worse for general use. Sure it may be more agile in ways I very rarely use, but I see comfort of the ordinary model a better buy for most people. It depends if you just want to drive for comfort and enjoyment Vs driving to try to take the tightest lines on meandering roads. Personally I don't see the point of the latter as if you want to do then take up track racing.
Mpg?
I've had a Fiesta ST-Line for just over a year and I'm very pleased with it.
My only gripe is the silly name. They should have called it "S" or "Sport", as they used to do with the slightly sportier versions of previous versions, rather than confusing it with the ST.
every other manufacturer has a 'line' version, why should ford change their name scheme?
@@steffan5304 Well, I have no knowledge about cars and I am searching for my very first car. To people without much knowledge, I can really say the naming schemes of almost all car manufacturers are absolutely terrible. It is so untransparent what the differences even are.
If one is into tech, it is comparable with the catastrophic naming scheme of the new Intel CPUs.
@ - At least with Intel the higher the number the better. Then just avoid the Celeron and Pentium
It used to be called Zetec s
Just bought mine in metropolis white ;-)
How is it?
@@newmotoring Fantastic to drive. I look forward driving to work everyday haha
Having my st line in 2 day and I’d lying if I said i wernt excited
Do you think these small turbo charged 3 cylinder engines will be reliable after the warranty has expired ? I don't hold much faith in them at all. Many of them the fans are running full pelt to cool the engine down even sitting at traffic lights for 2 or 3 mins.
Ford released the 1.0 ecoboost in 2009, and sold millions of cars with that engine. they have a reliable history, much more so than VW T(f)SI engines for example. only gripe is the timing belt that runs in oil and desintegrates if wrong oil is used or not changed regulary. so if you buy a used car, it is crucial to buy one with a full service history (or a big discount and change the belt, waterpump etc. at once) to avoid troubles.
btw the running fan you descripe is most probably due to a/c usage.
Reviewed one of the myself on my channel. Race Red ST Line as well. The 140HP variant is definitely the best of the bunch but its price range makes it very close to the ST, assuming no discounts offered. Just go with the ST. Anyone interested can watch mine on my channel if they so wish.
I was more or less set on one of these, until I found out you cannot add a towbar on it. Which I need to transport bikes. Aaaargh... :-/
I did like the ST Line a lot, during a day loan. In the end though, I just had to have the ST Performance Pack. Over the ST Line you get the seats, the noise, and the shove. Whats not to love about that?
6000€ more that I don't have 😉 And that's for a used one..
Would you say it is worth the massive price difference?
The mpg when putting your foot down lol
Does anyone know if the 100.bhp one is any good
I’ve got the 1.0 one and it’s amazing! Quick for what it is😊
I don’t quite understand the point of this car. Obviously they sell so there is a segment in the market but at 17 grand you may as well pay for a base ST? If you want to save a few quid on road tax and petrol, just get a base ecoboost fiesta. Upgrade the springs yourself if you want a sporty ride. Clever marketing from Ford but I won’t be falling for it with a fiesta in a posh frock unless it has the minerals to support it.
Is it smart to buy a new car? I am 22 years old, want to buy my first car. I don't know if new or used, I am not quite sure how much to spend.
In the past, I loved to spend my money in future proof objects (mostly new or quality even when it is more expensive). This is why I tend to go for a new car but I really don't know if it is smart. I earn about 60K per year and am a good money safer.
I don't really know much about cars.
I want a car that is useful but also a bit fun to drive.
Does anybody have some useful tips how I should approach this? I have some car loving friends, also with experience but they all tend to go with the opinion "If it hasn't 250PS and isn't lowered, it isn't a serious car". I need neutral opinions.
My advice is to save some money and get a solid second hand hot hatch at around 3-4 years old, own it outright, don't bother with finance especially when young. On finance, whatat you will pay upfront in a deposit, then monthly with then a big payment at the end of the 3 or 4 years of finance, which for an ST Line 2020 will be around £7k at the end of those 3 years at around £200 a month before that and maybe a £3500 deposit initially, it's probably not the best choice for you. A friend of mine took a new Fiesta on finance 4 years ago, he just sold it for £5500 at 4 years old, but he paid over £18k over those 4 years, so it's important to understand depreciation. There is a sweet spot for cars 3 or 4 years old for the buyer who can benefit from the depreciation but still have a reliable relatively young car that won't be running into expensive repair costs that an older car will. I would visit some dealerships, not backstreet garages or private sellers, look for a car that is around 3 or 4 years old and buy it outright. You might need to save a little bit first, but it will benefit you overall to do that way. I have the 2020 ST line though, but finance at 0% interest was convenient even though I could buy it outright, in the past I wouldn't have gone for a new cars, especially in my 20's. Personally I am not that keen on the ST line this year and preferred my old car. It's not a bad all rounder at all, I just haven't enjoyed the suspension and wished I had taken out a bigger car with a better ride, but I probably will do in 3 years.
@@BrianMillsSkills That is some very nice advice. I really apprechiate that you took this much time for me to write such an detailed answer. I will definitely take your experience into account. Thank you very much :D
dernière Ford Fiesta neuve freins avants problème!-Un collègue et moi avons acheté en même temps (il y a un an) une Fiesta ST line boite auto et moi une Fiesta Vignale boite auto,et dès l'achat les freins disques avants faisaient un grincement de tolerie à la fin du freinage,un grincement atroce,et tout cela sans cesse c'est à dire tous les jours ,à froid comme à chaud,et été comme hiver.Ford a trouvé cela tout à fait normal...mais pas les piétons qui se retournent encore,effrayés par le grincement de tôlerie sur les 2 roues avants.Quant à nous...la honte!...et cela dure encore maintenant à plus de 15000km!
Cracking car, which I suspect would be more than enough in reality.
70 to 80 mpg from the diesel, stop. Just stop! I have one and the best you can get is around 48 mpg combined. Checked by filing up setting the trip and calculated on the tank size.
Cheeky comment
American cars just keep getting worse. Dealerships closing all over.
The Audio You hear from the Engine is synthetic sound
no it isnt lmao
@Rolly101 comes from the speakers
I would know , I own one , look up on forums Ford published a statement about the engine noise being Syntetic
Why are you asking viewers to subscribe ? .... Do you get any money from youtube by posting videos
Heel and toe, stop!
Just spent 20k on this heap of goats crap, I must have been on haluciagenic drugs,.....!!
the only thing i love a bout that car is the back end i hate the front of it 🤢🤢 that's just my opinion
