You Know You Bought the Right Car When...

Other companies feature it in their own advertising:

Notice how they use a standard Fiesta photo; afraid to show the real deal I guess.

Really bad comparison too lol

 

[haste]

haha, wtf at the standard fiesta.

 

[Etyrnus]

4speed manual or auto? Dafuq? Is this the 70s model?

LOL seriously. That whole read was pathetic.

But it has "trendy Clark Plaid seating"

 

[KKaWing]

At least it wasn't trying to sell you a beetle instead of a brz like some YouTube sales pitch.

 

[chalituna]

i love how they don't talk about the price difference between the two...

 

[Old Guy]

Then the cheapest GTI they have is $26.5K

i love how they don't talk about the price difference between the two...

They won't because then they would have to acknowledge the fact that the FoST is the GTI competition, not the FiST. Their comparison would be like Chevrolet trying to convince customers of how much better it is than a FoST.

That article has got to be the dumbest thing I read in a while, if anything the Fiesta ST should go up against an Polo GTI not Golf GTI

They conveniently leave torque off the list, too... I love marketing people, (I was a marketing people), they are so clueless sometimes.

I love how many comparisons there are between FiST VS ... and the other car is a FoST competitor not a FiSTs. I've seen a FiST VS Mustang Eco 2.3/WRX/GTi/STi. it's crazy.

 

[lessard.dcj]

It's also funny that 56 people think the GTi "Should" be the NA car of the year. lol and the rest of the world thinks different.
4 Speed Mani. lol
2 x 2.0L Turbo options with only 10hp between, What is the point!?
An automatic is not offered to the FiST... Oh no how will i get by in my SPORTS CAR without an auto.
Good thing the article is comparing apples to apples.

Sure we dont get "Clark Plaid seating" We Get agressive Recaro instead
Sure we dont get "8-speakers" We get 6 (lighter, because race car)
Sure we dont get "5.8 inch touch screen" We get a 6.5 inch (but hey, who's counting right?)
Aggressive front grille - Got it
Integrated rear spoiler - Got it
Bluetooth - Got it
HD Radio - Got it
There are no power - sure no power (lighter, because race car)
Heated seats - Standard issue here

Warranty! what the hell is warranty?

what a crock of shit article. I love the GTi, always have. mainly my MK1 Gti and Mk2 GTi. but always a good car (maybe not so much the fat Mk3) but that may have been shock from how much fun and light my first 2 were.

Rant over for now

... You also have a choice of a 4-speed manual or automatic transmission. In comparison, the Fiesta ST comes with one available engine - a 1.6L turbo EcoBoost Inline-4 with 197 horsepower. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, and automatic is not offered. Just looking at these specs, the better choice for power than the 2015 Volkswagen GTI. ...

I lol'd.
