The Ford Fiesta ST is a compact hot hatchback that, while not rare, was primarily designed as an economical daily driver. It's not the kind of car you'd typically find parked in a driveway, especially given its performance enhancements. However, this particular ST has seen very little use, with just 2,600 miles on the odometer, averaging less than 400 miles per year. It's now up for sale.
Recently listed on Cars & Bids, this Fiesta ST is located in southeast Michigan. The photos suggest it's a low-mileage vehicle. The monroney label indicates it has a Magnetic gray exterior with a charcoal black interior, featuring contrast stitching specific to the ST model. The only factory option is the black 17-inch wheels, though the auction also mentions an aftermarket window tint. Otherwise, it remains in its original condition.
The only notable issue is visible in the undercarriage photos, showing significant oxidation. This is not unusual for cars driven in Michigan's winters, but with only 2,600 miles, one might assume it spent most of its life garaged. The seller, who purchased the Fiesta ST in May 2024, mentions it was parked outside under a carport for several years. We'd be curious to learn more about this car's history. Originally priced at around $20,000, these were affordable vehicles that typically saw a lot of use. How did this one end up outside under a carport?
Ford discontinued the Fiesta (and all other cars except the Mustang) years ago. To recap, the ST featured a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing 197 horsepower, driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Combined with suspension upgrades, it met all the criteria for a proper hot hatchback. The Fiesta was discontinued in the US in 2019 but continued production globally until 2023, when Ford ended the entire lineup after a 47-year run.
