Fiesta ST49/70
The Deal
8
$7,800 and $39.6/hp, a clean fit where the Focus ST straddles the ceiling.
The Drive
7
197 hp in 2,742 lb, and it feels sharper than the figure suggests.
The Upkeep
7
$4,556/yr. It runs on regular, and it is still dear to insure.
The Risk
7
The one severe failure needs owner neglect to trigger, and the recall leaves a paper trail.
The Daily
6
Five doors and folding seats, in a small car.
The Limit
7
H Street, at 2,742 lb.
The Mods
7
Elite aftermarket, and nothing fragile for a flash to make worse.
