The Ford Fiesta ST will not only look good but will also sound good on the open road. It features the passive version of the sound symposer first used on the Ford Focus ST, to provide an enhanced soundtrack for drivers out tackling the open road. It is unique for Fiesta in that for the first time the engine sound is directly fed into the passenger cabin to accentuate feedback quality and response.

Since its launch in Europe, customers have fallen in love with the fastest small production vehicle in Ford's history, and it has received a lot of positive feedback from media. Senior auto journalists call it a car with "powerful driving but a reasonable price".
