Ford Fiesta ST (2012 - 2017) 1.6 EcoBoost ST-3 3d Owner Review

First off, this car is fantastic in many ways. It’s nippy engine rev’s well and the handling is a B-Road masterpiece. It’s well kitted out and is actually not bad on fuel (£60 for 400miles). On that basis alone I would recommend the car to people wanting a cheaper alternative to your S3’s, Golf R’s or Leon Cupar 300’s. However..... and it’s a big however. The cars reliability - for myself - is shocking. I have owned my Fiesta St-3 for 7 months now and it’s been at Ford 3 times, once for a software issue, another because the rain/light sensor fell off and a final time because it wouldn’t start. All have been fixed however all very inconvenient and annoying. Recently the two side skirts have started to fall off and the passenger window is rattling. The quality of the vehicle is shocking and the main reason I will never buy a Ford again.
