The twins are fantastic cars, everyone on this forum agrees and understands that. It's the reason we're here. But there is absolutely no reason to downplay and play ignorant to other cars that aren't your taste.

You are wrong; the fiesta st is not just an economy car with a turbo slapped on to it or with a better suspension setup. It's also not a sports car, no one called it a sports car, everyone has been calling it a hot hatch.

You know what is very evident? You hate Ford and you probably wouldn't give them the time of day to prove anything anyway.

To the OP, just drive both and make your decision.

In my opinion

Practicality: Fiesta ST
Driving feel: Twins
Interior Styling: Subjective
Looks: Subjective
Fun Factor: Both cars are incredibly fun but subjectively speaking my vote goes to the Twins
Layout: Pick your poison, FWD vs RWD.


Just like you'd do at a clothing store, try them all then choose.
