Advantages
Very comfertable even when going round corners at high speeds
Easy controls within the car to work including the bluetooth connectivity for your phone and your friends phones with an aux plugin and charger point with an extra 12V power outlet in the front and in the back for passengers.
The car pulls hard, loves to rev
Good engine note
One of the best handling cars and especially out of the hot hatches with loads of grip and a stable body
Good sized boot for a hot hatch
Disadvantages
Other hot hatches have more power by over 25bhp but Ford offer the mountune kit for the car with the warranty still active on the car
Same interior as other fiesta's
Can only tell it's an ST by a few features like the front and rear brake discs, ST wheels,seats and badge as you can get the rear spoiler on normal Fiesta's
Competitors
1. Peugeot GTI - 205 bhp (Same weight as the Fiesta ST)
2. Vauxhall Corsa VXR - 202 bhp 1293 weight
Both of these cars beat the Fiesta ST in a straight line but the Fiesta is thousands cheeper than both of these cars with Ford offering a Mountune Kit for £600 which boosts it to 212 bhp with other companies like Revo offering more power which still makes the car thousands cheeper

Interior & Tyres
The Interior is very similar to a normal Fiesta with the optional sound system being offered in both cars the only difference is the speedoclocks which go to to 160MPH unlike the standard Fiesta which goes up to 130Mph also the seats are different with the big Recaro sport seats which help keep you comfortable and still with the backseats also being quite stylish but not bucket seats as you can get up to three passengers in the back.
On the Fiesta ST above which is mine I have bridgestone tyres which are priced at about £90 for each tyre with the car being front-wheel drive which burns a lot of the tyre when putting a lot of revs when setting off meaning they don't last long but these tyres grip very well to the road and when hitting corners very fast you don't skid.
