So, just wondering if anyone is going to buy the fiesta st-3? I have just ordered mine for an amazing price.

What's one of them? According to website they only do an ST1 or ST2.

The st-3 begins production in March, all optional extra's are standard except st style pack & tyre deflation, new optional extra is rear parking sensors

Got any links or prices?

No links as I was instore, however of you ring your store they should be able to provide information.

Base price is £19,245

Colour prices are the same

St style pack is £275 extra

Parking sensors are £200 extra

Starting to get quite close to Focus ST territory at that price....

I guess because the car is selling so well, they thought they would introduce another trim level.

The trim level is the same as the st-2, the only difference is parking sensors and also the optional extras are standard

I have always considered "trim level" as the naming spec, i.e. ST1, ST2, ST3, etc. :)

Ahh sorry - my bad ;-)

No worries, I might be wrong calling them that, lol.

Would be a hard decision for me though if I was in the market for an ST. A tricked out Fiesta ST or entry Focus ST....

The Focus gives you a lot more car for the money, but it would cost another 3-4k to bring the Focus up to the same level of equipment.

Or just to throw it in the mix for the same money you could have a tidy fairly well specced MK2 RS :P

Very true james.

For me, the fiesta st was for me as I'm going from a 1.4 fiesta zetec, a focus ST or RS would be too powerful, for now anyway ;)

The FIesta ST is an awesome little car, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! B)

I hope not - very excited to get it of I'm honest!

Just bought a new ST2 literally last week and there was no mention of a ST3 and even if they did to be honest I still would have just gone for the middle option, cruise control auto windscreen etc, just material things that are not necessary, I am guessing the performance is the same??

Yes mate, performance is the same

Ditto Alistair if I'd wanted those extras I could have had them but not really essential. Only thing I did want was power fold mirrors and keyless entry but was too late ordering them.

I picked up my fiesta last Tuesday now as they had one already there!! Brand spankers with the convenience pack added along with style!! So got those power fold mirrors!

Would love one but would loose my licence by lunch time !, awesome car best hot hatch in it's class at present.

Renault have just announced a Clio Gordini edition with 230 bhp

The Clio is pretty awful though from when I gave it a test drive, the auto-box kills it.

I agree. My son has a Clio sport 197 and won't even entertain the new one cause of the flappy paddles. Gordinis do look good however in all the older models I've seen.
