Hi all,

I've been searching for a while but I don't seem to be able to find anything conclusive. I was lead to believe that when Ford brought out the ST200 in 2016, the suspension and engine updates went onto the 2017MY Fiesta ST - is this correct?

And/or, if anyone has a 2017 Fiesta or ST200, how is the ride compared to an earlier model? As someone who would be doing quite a lot of miles I am curious to know!

You are correct, some slight suspension and chassis changes including an alternative rear ARB. I haven't driven both to compare but I do own a 16 plate ST which has the revised setup and boy is the ride dreadful at times. I pitty those who have an earlier model.

Other changes that the ST-200 received were a revised final drive ratio biased in favour of faster acceleration and obviously the permanent 200 BHP over the overboost function that the standard ST has.

Also the grey paint and black alloys which are a bit marmite..
