Ford Fiesta ST hatchback (2018 - ) review
The Ford Fiesta ST is a small hot hatch, but don’t go thinking it’s some cheap alternative to a ‘proper’ hot hatch. This car has the tools to shame much more expensive machinery, not to mention the Renaults and Peugeots with which it competes directly.

The Auto Trader expert verdict:
The Ford Fiesta ST is a truly fabulous hot hatch, not just by the standards of similarly priced rivals from Renault and Peugeot, but also by the standards of much more expensive machinery. The performance and handling ability make it a sensationally engaging car to drive, while the comfortable ride and generous creature comforts make it easy to live with day to day. Don’t buy your next hot hatch without trying this car first.
Reasons to buy:
- Simply sensational to drive
- Affordable compared with rivals
- Comfortable enough to be your only car
