Granted, the Car Articles ‘Something For The Weekend‘ series tends to focus on the supercars, hypercars and extremely exotic. However, the purpose of this feature was to highlight cars that would simply provide a huge amount of fun all the way from finishing work on Friday evening right up until the late hours of Sunday before the working week begins again. That’s why this month we’ve shone a light on the absolutely brilliant Ford Fiesta ST-3. The latest version of this pocket rocket has a 1.6-litre EcoBoost 182PS unit with six-speed manual transmission and reaches 62mph time in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 139mph. Official fuel economy on the combined cycle is 47.9mpg, with CO2 emissions of only 138g/km. The ST-3 2014 version has the following additions:
- Keyless entry
- Sony DAB radio/CD with navigation system
- Cruise control
- Automatic headlights
- Rain sensing wipers
- Auto-dimming rear view mirror
- Power-fold door mirrors with puddle lamps
- Electronic automatic temperature control
If you’re in the market for a new small performance car then look no further. We at Car Articles are massive fans of this car. Don’t just take our word for it. The Ford Fiesta ST has also won a host of awards:
- Car of the Year – Top Gear Magazine Awards
- Best Hot Hatch – Auto Express Awards
- Best Hot Hatch – Scottish Car of the Year Awards
- Car of the Year – The Scotsman Motoring Awards
- Best Performance Car – UK Car of the Year Awards
So, give it a go today. You won’t be disappointed.
