Description
With a heavy heart, I'm listing my 2015 Ford Fiesta ST-2 for sale. I purchased it in July 2017 as the second owner, when it had exactly 10,000 miles on the clock. Since then, it has been an absolute joy to own and drive - so much so that every time I considered changing cars, I always dismissed the idea - it's just that good.
Performance-wise, the Fiesta ST-2 delivers beyond expectations. It has plenty of punch at the top end for those B-road blasts, while the torque truly shines when pulling out of corners - making every drive feel effortlessly engaging. On the motorway, its power reserves make overtaking a breeze, and the near-instantaneous heated seats make those cold morning commutes far more enjoyable.
For a front-wheel-drive hot hatch, the steering feel is exceptional - direct, responsive, and full of feedback. You point it, give it a squirt, and it just goes. The manual gearbox deserves a special mention, as it's one of the best I've ever used. It's crisp, precise, and incredibly intuitive - almost as if the car knows exactly what you want to do before you've finished the shift.
The driving position is nearly perfect, offering an ideal setup for spirited driving and long-haul comfort. As someone who's 6ft tall, I would have liked just a touch more seat drop, but it's still one of the best in its class.
This car has given me some of my fondest driving memories, and I truly hope its next owner gets the same enjoyment from it. If you're looking for a well-loved and genuinely rewarding driver's car, this Fiesta ST-2 won't disappoint.
I very recently treated it to a major service including brake fluid change and an MOT.
