Since there's been some posts of new DD's, I figured I'd post mine up. I got this little go kart about a month ago. It's a loaded 2014 Fiesta ST and I love this thing plus I finally have 2 Fords in my stable.

How is it? Does it live up to all the hype and high reviews?

Thinking about picking one up for a fun daily driver.

I rented a regular Festiva about a year ago. The thing was zippy as hell and got really good gas mileage. I can imagine the ST has got to be pretty fun.

That's a sweet little ride. Im waiting for the Focus RS though and once I pay off my 13 then I will look into getting one. Thumbs up though on your Fiesta ST !!

Funnest car I've ever owned!!
It's not fast...it's quick. Extremely responsive in every way. Not a car for the road coarse, but take it to the canyon twisties or auto cross and it shines very bright right out of the box.
I average 32 mpg and have a lot of fun doing it!!
Nice purchase.

Thanks guys for the kind words.

It's a blast to drive and I think it lives up to the hype. It takes turns like it's on rails and the 1.6 loves to rev. The brakes are great and the recaros hug you better than your lady. The only thing is if your pretty wide you may not want the recaros since they are really snug. I think it's the best dd for the price and the best part you get all the bells and whistles of higher priced cars. It puts the same smile on my face that I get when I drive my Bullitt.

Oh and it's great on gas even when you kick in the turbo [Big Grin]

Very nice! I've had my Molten Orange Fiesta ST for about 19 months now. Bought it for a DD to keep the miles down on the Boss and it's a great little car. I never thought I would like a fwd 4 cylinder so much. You need to try and do the ST Academy before Miller Motorsports Park closes. It was a blast!

That's what I get for trying to reply on my phone.
