2014 Fiesta ST Finally Priced

[UberSilver]

But whats the power to weight ratio between the two?

And imo, the 2 door Fiesta looks hot, while the focus is just another sedan.

"It's kind of expensive considering the Focus ST is only a couple of thousand more and is has lots more space in the back and a big trunk."

That one got me curious.

The Focus is easy as the data is easily attainable. As per the Ford web site, it weighs in at 3223lbs and 252hp (it is a bit of a fatty) putting it at 12.78 lbs/hp.

The Fiesta is more difficult as they haven't specified a weight for it. The two curb weights it lists on the web site for the base fiesta are 2537 (manual) and 2575 (automatic) and I am just quoting the hatchback putting the ratios at 12.87 and 13.07 respectively. I have read that everyone is assuming the ST is going to weigh more than the regular fiesta but we won't know until more information comes to light.

so the Focus is 12.78 (with difinitive numbers)
the fiesta is 12.87/13.07 (though we are not sure about)

Honestly at those numbers, it is probably a wash (about even).

I will say that I prefer 4 doors as I will soon have a family of 4. Baby seats in the 3 door yaris are interesting to say the least. I do prefer a 4 door hatch over a sedan though.
