I just joined and wanted to say hi. I am considering buying a Fiesta ST after the holidays and had a few questions. I currently drive a 2014 Mustang GT 6MT with the Brembo package and LOVE it and though it does well enough in the winter, I'm thinking about keeping her garaged except for the nice days Also, with the 3.73s it isn't the greatest car for a road trip as far as mileage goes.
Before my Mustang, I had a Focus ST for all of 6 months before I traded it in in disgust. I had experienced the problems with the weak motor mount and while that was annoying. Of course I found out they finally decided to issue a TSB and fix it once I had gotten rid of the car, The main reason I got rid of it was because I got a crappy, bug-ridden MFT system. It would randomly lock up on me (which of course requires pulling a fuse or disconnecting the battery cable). They installed an update and it didn't lock up any longer, but was laggy as hell sometimes. I would push a button to change the station and 30-60 seconds (no exaggerating here) it would finally happen and then would randomly reboot which got really annoying when you were on a phone call. They replaced the system but the new one did the same thing. I started to wonder if maybe the car had a curse and decided to just swap it for something else.
Anyway, are there any big common issues that people are having with the Fiesta ST? I did some searching and there don't seem to be any recurring things but figured I would ask since I'm introducing myself.
Thanks,
Nikki
