Rally-eMag September 2013 / Feature 33/52 Is it perfect then? Well the answer to this questions clearly depends on what you want. If you’re cruising the highways, the amplified roars of the engine sometimes make you a bit tired. And every bump in the road is also felt. So if I would be driving 400 kilometres per day on just motorways I would buy a car with a somewhat longer wheelbase. But hey this is not what the car was made for. So try driving the meandering roads through the Mosel vineyards. This is the car’s natural environment. This is where the car is happy and so is the driver. No leaning over of the bodywork, always enough power and with the perfect feeling in the steering wheel. In these circumstances you can only smile. So if your habitat is similar, meaning you have a lot of smaller twisty roads. Run to your nearest dealer, trade in your own car for the Fiesta ST. And if you can spare a few extra dimes, buy the ST2 if only for the good looks of the leather Recaro’s!
