I had a Fiesta ST 2018 reg. It sounded like a proper super up car. Are the any Fords that compare sound wise?

    Not endorsed by ford, but if anything like the fiestas round here, this will give the required sound. 😂

    The 155/170ps 1.0 MHEV's do have a unique sound under load. But they don't sound like the Mk8 Fiesta ST does.

    In theory I suppose you could make any 3 pot 1.5 EcoBoost sound like the Mk8 ST with some modification.

    Difficult to hear the engine over the road noise.

    Sadly, the time has passed. Many facelift (Mk 8.5) ST owners have commented that their cars don't sound like their earlier Mk 8s. I can't say mine sounds particularly wonderful - it's quite fruity at start-up - but as Paul commented above, its difficult to hear anything above the road noise in my area once you start driving.
