2023 Ford Fiesta

It's the featherweight hot hatch duel you've all been waiting for. The Fiesta ST cult hero takes on the i20 N – who takes the crown?

The facelifted Ford Fiesta ST hot hatch might be going, going, gone from Australia, but it won't be soon forgotten.

This trio of pocket rockets line up against each other rather nicely. When the Hyundai i20 N hits the market next year, the Fiesta ST and Polo GTI will be waiting...

Ford’s affordable pocket rocket Fiesta ST is back, better and pricier than ever.

The Ford Fiesta ST is one of the most hotly-anticipated performance cars of 2020. Believe the hype. It's a gem.

The Fiesta was only just discontinued, but already there's talk of Ford returning to this segment with an electric vehicle.

The Ford Fiesta is a staple in Europe, but it's been axed in favour of a more expensive small SUV. Production ends this week.

This year, we said goodbye to some thrifty hybrids, hot hatchbacks, cute drop-tops, and some budget-friendly fare.

Ford has confirmed Fiesta production will stop next year, so now's a good time to travel back in time and what the fuss was all about.

The Fiesta is taking a permanent siesta as Ford expands its electric vehicle range in Europe, axing the hatch after 47 years.

Two of the best hot hatches money can buy are being retired from Australian showrooms, as stock shortages bite and Ford focuses on volume.

The first 2022 Ford Fiesta STs to arrive here don't have their B&O Play sound system, so Ford is offering buyers a credit, a refund, or a new contract.

A potential oil leak in 2019-22 Ford Fiesta and Focus models could lead to an engine fire.

The 2022 Ford Fiesta ST has been hit with a price increase, and has lost out on some active safety kit. It has more torque, though, and more interior tech.

A pre-facelift prototype Ford Fiesta ST test mule has been spied packing some high-performance brakes and a different exhaust.

Ford's smallest performance car will get more torque, more tech, and more green when it arrives early in 2022.

With the current Fiesta heading for its fourth birthday, Ford is busy preparing a mid-life update with usual visual tweaks.

Belt-up for the new Volkswagen Golf GTI, BMW 128ti, Skoda Octavia RS, Audi S3, Hyundai i20 N, Toyota GR Yaris Rallye, and updated versions of the Renault Megane R.S and Hyundai i30 N.

Ford's European arm has added coilover suspension and lightweight alloys to the Fiesta ST for enhanced on-road and track performance – but it's not for Oz.

Hyundai is readying its first hotted-up light car, the i20 N, and it looks like a belter.

Ford's smallest car survives for another generation but only in cracking ST trim. There's just one model, priced at $31,990 before on-road costs.

John P from Perth WA purchased this Ford Fiesta new for $36,000 (including all on-road costs). John P from Perth WA wouldn't buy this car again because: "Only because I don't do the same trick twice. (I will be keeping it)."

Steve P purchased this Ford Fiesta new with additional options for $37,000 (including all on-road costs). Steve P would buy this car again because: "Yes definitely. It's so much fun to drive and there aren't many of them on the road which I like. They look great also."
