I see that the ST has an 11.4 metre kerb to kerb turning circle, and any other Fiesta has a 9.3 metre kerb to kerb turning circle.

I imagine then that the ST rack has limited travel to stop the larger ST wheels from catching on the steering arms or underbody at full lock.

So if you want a Fiesta taxi don't buy the ST, no good for all those U-turns!

That's why it's fitted with a handbrake...

o the handbrake, need to get my adjusted, but yeah either handbrake, or j turn

Yeah, catches me out all the time. Turning into a tight space sometimes needs a little '2 point turn'

that was one of my main na about the st, crap turning circle, used to moan about it lots, rex has a crap turing circle aswell..10.6 metres

yep ST turning circle is awful. To get into my work car park I have to make a very tight turning, it's embarassing if anyone is outside as I look like I can't drve... it's the turning circle!!

I thought it was just me who couldn't park! I had a standard fiesta as a hire car in germany on monday at it was sooooo easy in comparison!

i dont really have a problem with mine!! i dont notice much difference!

I don't notice it either. Seems alright parking at supermarkets etc. I had a Pug 106 before and I can't tell the difference lol.

maybe its something in the water near us fluffsheep?! lol

ok rich! im rick, my profile name gives it away a little lol

if you drive any other car you will notice the difference. It is the worst turning circle I've ever come across! My mates Merc E type is massive but turns so much more easily than my car in a like for like situation!

its just not something i take any notice of!!

I hired a Clio a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't tell the difference lol. Like Rick said, it must be the water around here lol.

My old 306 was bad.... probably worse that the ST but the standard Fiesta is so much more manoverable at low speed.

the ST turning circle is the worse I had in a car compared to my GTI is like turning a bus
