Hello there, first post from me!
I've since i first saw the new Fiesta ST back in the beginning of 2018, had the idea, that this would be the car to replace my almost 20 year old faithful VW Polo 6N. The new interior and discrete exterior looks, was just the car i was looking for.
And a few days ago i finally had the chance to try one out at a dealer here in Denmark, although only a quick ride. And my thoughts? I was actually quite dissapointed in its power! Now, we were 4 people in it, and it was only a quick ride, but i want to give it another shot and try it again. I liked the handling and comfort though. How many RPM's does it performance peak in?
Later i tried out a Golf GTE, because a mate of mine wanted that car, so i just joined him to try and compare it to the FiST. This time we were 3 people in the GTE, but oh boy, that car was SO MUCH faster than what i remembered the FiST to be, and they have roughly the same HP (however the GTE has more torque since its a hybrid i believe). The GTE is also another class of car i know, and the pricepoint shows that.
But i still believe that i must have done something wrong on that day.. I tried out the normal Fiesta right after the FiST, but with the 1.0 Ecoboost 140hp engine, also with 4 people in it, and honestly didn't feel that much difference. What could possible have gone wrong, and shouldn't i give it another shot ? Any recommendations on how to drive it ?
Thanks in advance!
