Hey everyone, I just purchased a 2015 Molten orange Fiesta ST on friday the 13th that is pretty much fully loaded. I am a huge car enthusiast, and came from a 2013 Kia Rio5 SX...I spent years daily driving early watercooled vw's and had a bunch of really clean ones over the past decade until april 2013 when I purchased the kia (was the only car I had ever bought that was newer than 10 years old). Anyways, at that time had heard rumor of the st possibility and unfortunately coulden't hold out...so I settled into the kia. Well, here I am a little under 2 years later and wow, this car was totally worth it! My Fiesta will stay stock for quite a while as I enjoy it the way it is, and I also own some older toys that I build and enjoy on the side...a 1983 VW Rabbit GTI I am building from the ground up currently, and a 1985 Mustang GT that is a more minimal project that I should be enjoying this coming summer. Great to be part of a new, and growing enthusiast community!

Welcome! I too am from North Jersey, and have a VW background. (I came from a mk4 R32, and a jetta mk4 tdi wagon) albeit not as cool as your water cooled boxer vw's but its something!
Brother is also heavily into VW's, we currently have a 2.0l 16v swapped mk2 gti as a project!
Enjoy the ST!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!


Nice! I actually just sold a 89 GTi 16v I built from the ground up over 4 years ago to my best friend who is a mustang guy and picked up this Rabbit GTI that will be getting a 16v and I think I will be doing weber dcoe45's but that is still tbd lol. The Fiesta st actually reminds me of my mk2 in driver feel...which may have a bit to do with why I enjoy this car so much.
