Shopping a Fiesta ST180 (Mk7)? 👜
Start with condition. Misfires, boost leaks and coolant loss are the usual red flags.
Rear beam and sill corrosion can bite, so get it on a lift too.
A bigger intercooler and a proven Stage 2 map turn these into giant killers, but we’ll always choose tyres and pads before chasing numbers.
Listen for knocks over speed bumps -they are prone to tired bushes - and check the clutch under full load.
Inside, rattles happen; fix with clips, not hope. The right ST180 rides firm but controlled and puts power down well out of slow corners.
Our advice: buy one you can drive hard with confidence, then mod in stages.
