I bought a fiesta ST in magnetic color. Been driving for 1.5 weeks as my daily driver.

It has recaro with molten orange insert(look more red than orange) and black rims.

So far I am enjoying the car, the car feels quick and light and power delivery is smooth and linear. The infotainment is pretty good for a car at this price. The dogs seem enjoy the room in the back.

I have tinted the rear windows, and put on dash cam with fuse tap, bought some ST floor mats and ST trunk mat, debadged the fiesta badge.

I came from a 2013 Fiat Abarth(stock except for GoPedal). The 2 cars are quite different in character.

Welcome!
I am in San Jose, and would love you hear your comparison between the ST and Abarth after you have spent a bit more time with your Fiesta.

My car: 2014 Molten Orange with blue ST logos and black team dynamic wheels

So far I like it, but I would skip the black rims(save$350). The dark grayish color is more subtle as I don't wanna attract attention, just sorta blend in. Also quite dirt proof.
My previous Abarth was black on black rims, and my other cars was white and they were a b!tch to keep clean.

I was a bit skeptical about the bright seats in the beginning, but others compliment on it.

I was specifically looking for 2017 clearance so there was very limited choice for me.

Hipppo,
Thanks for the feedback. One of my main drivers for ordering instead of picking up a left over 17 is the molten orange recaros. I think I'd like the added color to the interior but I haven't been able to see them in person. I am a little bit worried they may be too "loud" or too orange...
