WSJ: Ford Fiesta ST Biggest Bang For The Buck

A MUST READ: this weekend's Wall Street Journal's Auto Critic (Dan Neil) Review of the 2014 Ford Fiesta ST. Mr Neil holds no punches and literally 'tells it like it is!" His full back page reviews choose a different vehicle each weekend. Last week he slammed the 2014 Nissan Versa Note, with quotes :"the CVT transmission moans like it is in the third day of a four day exorcism!" The title of the review was appropriate: "Sometimes, you just get what you pay for!" Enough said!

 

However, this weekend's feature is a sharp Red Fiesta ST. Too many great comments to mention...one of my favorites is : "The Fiesta ST's taut modernist bod, bandy proportions and unsmiling, on task visage help it avoid the box office poison of cuteness. Think of it as a hot hatch Aston Martin!"

 

He went on with this about the performance: "Pin the throttle, grab a gear and the ST takes off like a hooked trout...!" Neil goes on : "You can dive into a tight 35 MPH curve...breath off the the gas gently and the car will come around with a sweet, catchable trailing throttle oversteer...when pointed in the right direction, lay on the coal. The Fiesta ST claws away like a cat escaping a water pistol!"

 

(I'm quoting directly from the article)

 

I'm assuming from his many metaphors he kind of liked the new 2014 Ford Fiesta ST.
