gasket Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi folks - OP here. Thanks again for the advice. Was a close call - both ZS and ST are superb cars in their own right but in the end, for my particular circumstances, the small additional outlay for the more powerful ST won out. As has been mentioned before this was largely thanks to the insurance premiums being the same for both cars. I placed my order yesterday and had the finance confirmed last night, delivery date is due to be confirmed on monday but is likely to be early june (about 11 weeks :( ). So I am soon to be the proud owner of a Fiesta ST in metallic Spirit Blue!!!!!! Am unbelievably excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary.J Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I've had my ST-2 since beginning of November last year. It is a really great car, but as was mentioned, the other thread about ordering an ST-3 did seem to bring out the brat in some people. My daughter is looking at buying a 1 litre ecotec Fez, and I think it's a really great car in its own right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasket Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Kongrats on a fine purchase. Any other goodies / packs added on to it? Is it ST2? Nope - just a basic ST. The only addition was metallic and that was only because it was included for free (I'd have been happy with the basic solid red paint). as ST-2 and -3 don't offer any mechanical improvements they would be wasted on me (I come from a classic car background where even carpets are a luxury - so to me even the basic car is fully loaded).

MattDRX Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Still good enough. I only got the st2 due to the deal I got on it. Standard St seats are as good. But you'll love it. Don't get this st3 speak though. Haven't even seen it on fords own site yet. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoZetec13 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I've had my ST2 over a month now, I do short 15-30mile journeys to work on motorway or through b roads I'm averaging 40-47mpg and it's not much to shout at but it'll do In the long run, I had a 2013 Zetec 1.0L ecoboost before and that would return me 60-65mpg at best as I would always try to get the best performance out of the small engine. Not to be biased but STs seem to be affordable to most so if you are up for a fun car will relatively good mpg then go for it, you won't be disappointed.
