AlKim: A little. Mine is a standard one, with a 100 HP one-litre three-cylinder turbo engine. It still handles better than it has any right to, and there's enough power for my daily use. I actually prefer it over a Focus.
I agree 100% on the handling comment. Our 2016 ST handles astonishingly well, especially considering the price tag and front wheel drive. Before now I've never had a front-driver where I could tease out the rear tires so consistently without doing some tricks with the braking. And we still manage 35 mpg while driving like an idiot. Just hoping the reliability matches the fun. Also prefer it to the Focus. Focus ST feels larger than it is (I love small cars) and it was a bit too raw for daily driving around our local roads.
I hope your Fiesta treats you well. Good luck.
