What's the news?
Our feelings towards Ford's Fiesta ST are pretty well known at this stage, but if you're unclear have a look here and despite it having a good level of equipment to start with, a new ST-3 specification level has now been added. To date, sales of the Fiesta ST have been 20 per cent ahead of forecast, with the ST-2 trim level accounting for over 90 per cent of those sales.
Building on the ST-2 trim level, this new ST-3 spec adds keyless entry, a Sony DAB radio/CD with satellite navigation, cruise control, automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, power-fold door mirrors with 'puddle lamps' and climate control. All that spec is packaged together at a total price of £19,250, which makes the Fiesta even more tempting.
Anything else?
If you'd still like to tick some boxes there is still the option to add rear parking sensors, which cost an additional £250. The Ford Fiesta ST-3 is now on sale and available to order through authorised Ford dealers.
