Re: Ford Fiesta St Mk8 for Australia?

Just picked up a new Fiesta ST Mk 8 - white, today.
Had to go to Wollongong today to finalise purchase as there were no new white Fiesta ST's for sale in Sydney/Newcastle-all sold.
Drove back to Newcastle this evening- so much fun.The heated seat with 3 temperatures was interesting, as was the heated steering wheel.
I literally burst out laughing some 5 times going round tight bends, with 1 corner inducing outside rear wheel lift which again was a strange sensation.
The car is a blast-little underpowered, but so many new treats in the handling department which is up there with the best handlers and best steerers I have ever driven.
And the engine sounds great- reminds me a bit of driving a porsche boxster with flat 6 3.2 litre in terms of the torque pull and sound.
Although small- it is a bargain for the finessed German engineering you are getting, very balanced and integrated package.
