Ford Fiesta ST boot space, practicality and safety

Practicality rating: 4 out of 54.0

It won’t surprise you to learn that Ford Fiesta ST practicality is much the same as the car it’s based on – the standard three-door Fiesta.

You get Ford’s Easyfuel system, which stops you putting diesel in your ST and damaging the engine. Keyless start was an optional extra – although it was standard on the popular ST2 trim.

The boot’s an acceptable size compared to the competition as well, but it’s worth noting the lip is fairly high for lifting heavy objects into it.

Euro NCAP gave the Ford Fiesta ST a five-star safety rating when it was new, mostly because of the sheer amount of electronic wizardry installed to keep occupants safe.

The aforementioned traction and stability control system works incredibly well, and there’s also ‘torque vectoring’, which pulls the car around during fast cornering to keep it going in the direction intended.
