Glad they brought the 2 door finally. I was dissappointed when the normal Fiesta only came in 4 doors.

The Fiesta ST would definitely make my short list.

I mentioned the Fiesta ST in a post yesterday. I probably should have started a new thread, but instead added that post on the "I was going to trade it in..." thread. The ST caught my eye as one of the "25 Cars Worth Waiting For" in the April 2013 Issue of Car and Driver. The ST is only available with a manual transmission () per the article. The other car in that article that caught my eye in that article was the Ferrari F70.....approximately 900 HP and lighter than a Yaris.

I like many things about it. I'm just really having trouble getting my head around the fact that it's an automatic .

Don't quote me, but I believe the US is only getting a four door hatch model Fiesta ST. Everyone is has already or will be getting the two door option.

Not to mention the fun that you would have not only building your "lesser" ride to that point, but quite possibly being able to smoke that Fiesta.
Yeah, that is what I was thinking too. You could go a couple grand more and get a larger Focus or sink that extra 5-10k into a tunable cheap hatch and reap the benefits. I am looking forward to seeing how this Fiesta sells. People have been begging for a hot hatch (just like a diesel pick-up) and now that the auto companies are doing it, it will be interesting to see if these same people put their money on the table. I wish the base price was under the 20k mark, it would be more palatable for what is essentially still a subcompact.

I read the same thing...either in the '25 Cars Worth Waiting For' article in the April 2013 Car and Driver or another recent article.
