Great news! The dynamic Ford Fiesta ST has been voted Motor Magazine’s outright overall winner of the 2014 Bang for Your Bucks crown against a formidable line up of premium Euro and Asian performance cars. A full report is in December’s Motor Magazine.

Great result for the FiST, hard to see it not doing well considering the price advantage it enjoys over the opposition. Nice gong to go along with the Top Gear UK 2013 COTY and a top 10 finish in the EVO UK 2013 PCOTY.

Amazing what happens when you just get it all right and price it competitively.

Sadly the sales figures don't represent how good it is

Is a good looking ride for the price and gear etc.

Top Gear did a good test on it and reckons the chassis is fantastic.

Everything I heard also points to that as well

Sadly the supply figures don't match the "i want it now" potential sales figures.
I got lucky, we received a panther black one for stock, I bought it same day. No hesitation, there's still a crazy wait for them.

Think they can make them. In any number at any time.
But FA seem hesitant to order enough for demand.
Unless that's a deliberate ploy to keep interest high.
