The Fiesta ST isn't available with an automatic.

I used to possess one scrap, but now I can't even spell Fiesta. The ST only comes with a 6-speed as far as I know. It has a shift light that flashes at 2K rpm. I laugh at it every time.

In reply to pinchvalve:

Word of warning though, you can induce a 4 wheel slide without nanny intervention.....makes me wonder where that intervention point is.

I noticed that on a test drive. I joked with the salesman that the car must be telling me to go faster. He may have thought I was serious.

Congrats on the car. I'm dangerously close to ordering a 2015.

That's you hypermileing light. My 2001 Focus has one too. Took me a week to learn to ignore it totally.
