Never seen one in the wild before that I am aware of. Talked briefly to the owner, he said he preferred it to the Focus ST he also tried.

Shot through the window of a 49 Hudson in the rain, qualities which I think probably makes this pic unique.

Sleeper status confirmed.

Right? I feel the same way about my silver S55.

As a FieSTa owner, can confirm: Sleeper (no one realizes it isn't just another Fiesta). Like it better than the FoST

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > rb1971 ARGQF+CayenneTurbo+E9+328GTS+R90S 04/06/2015 at 13:06

I've also only seen one that wasn't at a dealership. And it was also silver. Seen like 4 FoSTs tho. And was so happy the first time I saw one in Tangerine Scream.

I've yet to come across one in real life, though living in Florida has slimmed those chances. I have checked multiple times on Autotrader, Cars.com, and other sites, and have yet to have even seen one for sale in state.

I see them constantly, but then, I do live in the land of hot hatches. They're certainly not sleepers here, either; very few British people would mistake an ST for a regular Fiesta. Even those who know bugger-all about cars can recognise a 'boy racer mobile' when they see one. I suspect it helps that the Fiesta family as a whole has had the number one spot on our car sales charts for about three years now.

(Pictured: a friend's ST - black - next to his brother's extremely similar ST.)

I felt the same way. I drove the Fiesta, Focus, and the FRS all in the same day. I own the Fiesta ST. It was the clear choice for me.

I saw a new Focus next to a late 80's Fox body mustang and the focus was bigger! I thought it was supposed to be a "compact".

A month or so ago, I drove the Focus ST, Fiesta ST and BRZ all in the same day along with an i3 and a WRX. The following day, I drove an FR-S and a Fiat 500 Abarth. I own none of them, because I still have six more months on my lease. For me, the WRX was the winner, but the Fiesta ST was definitely second. And, the more that time has passed, the more that little sucker has grown on me.

I still want to try the Mazda 3s.

Seems all cars are bigger (and heavier), these days. Witness:

I’ve seen far more Fiesta ST’s than Focus ST’s. Both seem rather popular here in SoCal.
