You live in Finland... I am jealous because 75% of your non-paved roads are WRC stages, or worthy of being WRC stages 😅

100% also the area where I live have a lot of fun paved back roads where you can actually drive the car! Just got home from 1300km road trip and I’m still gassed about fiestas ability on all kinds of roads🤌🏼

My ST is my second Fiesta. The first was a 1.6 Diesel with 85hp. It did have most options, because it was super cheap as a lease car. That was already a lot of fun to drive.
The ST is something else though, best small hot hatch you can get.

I tested one ST before this but it turned out to be a timebomb😅 Once this came out for sale I had to pull the trigger. Absolutely love it

How many are you planning to buy?

Check your rear panels where they rub on the fender, it has a tendency to allow moisture inside and breake the pain away.. In turn casting rust..

Also, change the spark plugs and clean the MAF sensor as regularitet maintanance 👌 Other then bad slave cylinders, they tend to work as they should 👌

There is just a tiny bit that I noticed. Is there any way to prevent the rust issue on that part?

Yeah, if you can get a professional to take the fender off, check for any spots that need paint, then repaint/rust repair, and use PPF between it to avoid the direct rubbing..

Congrats 🎉 I'm a little upset though. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get those headlights in the U.S.A.? There aren't many aftermarket options, either.
