I assume the discounts will be rather large as at that money you'd for the Yaris GR all day long

I'm with you Andy, If you don't need that adjustability on a Pista or GT3 why have it on a Fiesta. I want to get in and drive, I'm not an Engineer. Too many options tends to mean your always in the wrong setting for the situation you find yourself in. I can just about handle a sport button. A well sorted car should be good in most situations apart from on track and even then if I'm a track day regular I'm not going to drop nearly 30k on a Fiesta for the job. |

I agree as well. Pointless on a Fiesta part from maximising the geek points.
All you need in a road car is a setting for comfort and one for pressing on, which would ideally an individual setting as ‘sportiest’ for everything can be too much on UK roads. That’s what I use in the Golf, I ha e individual set to race for steering and throttle, Eco for sound (to turn the fake 5 pot noise off) and normal for the suspension. Comfort is ideal on the motorway or pottering around town.

I'm trying to tell the difference from the last one.

I'm trying to tell the difference from the last one. There is a strong sense of deja vu here. Wasn't there an orange version a little while ago? |

I like that they make a big deal of fitting a better / different steering wheel. It's like the 1970's again.... First thing you did to mod up your Ford was throw away the huge steering wheel and swap it for a nice leather trimmed three spoke.

A well sorted car should be good in most situations apart from on track and even then if I'm a track day regular I'm not going to drop nearly 30k on a Fiesta for the job. Exactly. The standard Fiesta ST sounds pretty well sorted anyway. Rather than spend nearly £30k on this, I'd have a standard ST-2 and spend £575 on the Mountune 235 pack. Its like that Megane RS with adjustable Ohlins dampers from a couple of years ago. How often are you really going to be tweaking them. Probably never is my guess. My car doesn't even have adaptives, yet it manages to always handle well and is never crashy or harsh regardless of the road. It's a shame engineers can't 'make em like they used to' with all this choice. Fucks me right off. |

Will anyone actually pay £27k for the Fiesta though, or will the usual run-of-the-mill Ford discounts apply? |

I've seen a few of the orange Fester STs with the grey wheels, they look pretty cool.

Agree that the adjustable suspension is overkill, though since you still get the standard car's drive modes, most owners will find a setting they like and leave it at that.
Ford should add the colour and wheels to the standard car's options list.
