Am I the only person ever that didn't like the Fiesta ST here in the states? I never understood why youtube reviewers, etc.. never mentioned the steering. I guess they just went into the test drive not expecting much from the steering? Whereas, when the 911 or F80 M3 switched to electric steering, that's all they'd talk about in the review. The electric steering on the Fiesta ST was garbage and that was the most boring and numb "sporty" car I've ever driven. Could you mod it out and hoon around and sling it across the road? Sure.. but the car had no soul and driver engagement/connection was severely lacking. The interior was also more basic and boring than a pumpkin-spiced latte sipping white girl in UGGs, but I'll forgive that on a car that costs sub-20k.

I was really disappointed because I was hoping the Fiesta ST was a good cheap alternative to a Civic SI. Unfortunately, not.. at least in my eyes.
