The i30 is ok, is a lot bigger inside and a shipload more compliant with crappy roads.
Reliability so far after nearly two years has been pretty good, no major issues.
...still miss the ST though.

The MK 8 Fiesta ST 1.5 suspension is apparently more compliant and "mature" than the previous 1.6 ST.
All I know is I still LOVE the Mk 8 ST, it has been (touch wood) the most reliable car I have ever owned (includes Honda Euro, Toyota Camry etc etc) and as an added benefit, my wife actually enjoys me giving it WOT squirts,
Now it is the end of the line ATMO Fiesta ST, going to hang onto it, with vice grip fingers....
