The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST’s combination of power, reliability and innovation has earned it another accolade – MotorWeek’s Drivers’ Choice Award for Best Subcompact Car. The European-style five-door Fiesta ST “packs a potent performance punch,” said MotorWeek, citing the car’s 197-horsepower 1.6-liter EcoBoost® engine and a “lowered suspension that carries the goods through corners.” Fiesta ST is designed to be fun, but drivers won’t have to pay for that fun at the pump, as the car returns an EPA-estimated 35 mpg on the highway.

The Ford Fiesta ST proves to be among the most thrilling, sporty rides for drivers of today after being named 2014 Compact Car of the Year by Autobytel – and expected to be around for many years to come after making the Hagerty Hot List of vehicles experts say will be collectible within the next 25 years.
