Ford Fiesta ST (2012-2017) interior
The Fiesta ST’s interior is a little plain and the optional sat-nav screen is annoyingly small, but the basics are right – there’s a pair of bolstered Recaro seats that keep you in place during fast cornering and a great driving position.
Style
Everything else is arranged just where you need it, the instruments are clear and most of the controls well-placed. As in the regular Fiesta, the dash still looks fussy – the tiny buttons on the Sony stereo are particularly awkward – but it’ll still do the practicality bit as well as its humbler brothers.
The Fiesta's sports seats hold you tight like a firm embrace
Infotainment
The ST’s tiny infotainment screen and low-res graphics mean it isn’t the easiest system to see on the move and, because every letter of an address has to be selected via a scroll knob, it’s not brilliant to use, either. That would have been fine a few years ago but even small cars have moved on significantly since then.
