197HP and over 200lb-ft of torque. That little thing is going to be fast!

I like it but knowing that the st focus has more hp there's no way I could live with getting it .

How many gazillion dollars will it cost?

Thing is, the focus is that much heavier than the fiesta.
So, comparatively speaking, both the focus ST and fiesta ST are going to be on similar performance grounds.
So a fiesta for the price of a focus that goes as fast as an ST that's priced the same and goesa about as fast as a v6 mustang....
pick your poison...

Now this is the true successor to the Svtf. I'm not hating on the Focus ST,but it's a little over weight. Lets hope for a sub $24k price tag.

Although I haven't driven a Focus ST, I have driven a 2012 Focus for a while, and had the pleasure of driving a Fiesta for a couple of days. Maybe it's my advanced age......but I prefer the Focus to own. However, I did enjoy the Fiesta, but a few things didn't appeal to me. The suspension wasn't as good as the Focus, and the rear brakes are drums. Maybe the Fiesta ST will at least have rear disc brakes, so you can stop as fast as you can accelerate....
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - hardk0re - 11-30-2012
I don't think disc brakes stop better than drums on the rear. For spirited driving they will deal with heat better, look better and are easier to maintain (matter of prefference I guess).
I doubt anybody on this forum has the ability to drive our cars to their limits, what most have is the ability to drive beyond THEIR limits.
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - incognito27 - 11-30-2012
i wish they would ease up on the performance side as the aftermarket thrives on this , and focus ( see what i did there) on the European styling being brought to the NA market.
I think most people agree having that styling brought to the NA market would make a good impact on the younger , and in most of our cases , older car enthusiast crowd.

The styling of the Fiesta, Focus, Fusion/Mondeo are worldwide, finally. We get what Europe gets mostly.The original Focus was also a world car.
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - incognito27 - 11-30-2012
i was more leaning towards the RS styling , that we kinda lack , even the newer ones have a styling both interior and exterior that we just don't have. I know the focus/fusion/fiesta are becoming more and more worldwide as per what ford is aiming at. but what happend to the RS styling , i know there is a article somewhere about a new RS but where is that styling in the NA markets.
Dam it man i just want an RS ...... ( goes back to my rock)

RS would probably depend on sales of the ST. Sometimes we can't always get what we want, we get what we need.........
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - incognito27 - 11-30-2012
(big foot voice) I NEED RS I NEED RS!!!
lol
i know i know
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - moon111 - 11-30-2012
The dealer showed me they're only making $500 per Fiesta. Asked how they can afford that, he said they'll make all their money in parts. Now that's a vote of confidence.
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - incognito27 - 11-30-2012
mental note to self , stay away from the fiesta
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - adamzx5 - 11-30-2012
I would much rather have the fiesta , this thing is going to tear up auto x.
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - ZX3_2NV - 11-30-2012
I could see it being a great auto x car
RE: Fiesta ST coming to Canada - lonewolf - 12-02-2012
