Hey everyone, I'm excited to join the forum as a proud owner of a 2018 Fiesta ST! I'm a Ford technician working at a dealership and this is my first new car. I've been in love with the Fiesta ST since it was introduced 4 years ago, and I'm lucky I didn't get banned from dealerships as I took one out for a test drive more than a few times ![[lovest]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_ilovest.gif "Love ST [lovest]")
I knew the Fiesta was right for me over the Focus ST because of the Fiesta's size - I've always liked driving smaller cars and I feel much more confident in a car that can explore more of the road. I have had my share of experience with beater cars, (and the wonderful but sometimes painful world of modifying cars - mk1 Focus) so I finally took the plunge and jumped on this Fiesta. I remember seeing it in the new arrivals lot after leaving work and I immediately started weighing my options. The next day I decided it was my chance! It had 5 miles on it when I bought it, and to me it is perfectly built: White platinum ST3 with black wheels and grey seats without navigation.
I plan to keep this car as long as it will keep me, so I hope to refrain from going all out on the Fiesta, at least for a little while.
Mods I hope to do in the near future: LED taillights and Euro projector headlights, LED foglights, weathertec floormats, and maybe some small interior pieces like a shift boot shroud. The only thing I can think of right now that I'm not completely satisfied with is that the exterior lighting is a little dated IMO. I really think the car is about 95% of the way to looking like a 2018, but with all the great innovations in LED lighting Ford has brought over to the F150, Mustang, Edge, Fusion and others, I just want the Fiesta to look current as well.
Mods I've already done: nothing other than a set of winter wheels and tires - not entirely out of necessity, but I think that it's worth the peace of mind.
Anyways, I hope this post helps you all get to know me a bit!
