To be honest i'm not really bothered with top end speed, i did get 105 mph at prodrive on the straight, but never really tried out on the Road.
What i do like though is the pulling power, especially uphill as in the post above, it's pretty awesome really, i just love the acceleration 2nd & 3rd Gears i get pushed back into the seat.
Fiesta ST.... best purchase i've ever made, i get bored with cars very easily, 9 Months on & i'm still loving the ST, no intention of trading in for a long time yet.
