A feisty new rival has put the pressure on, but is the Ford Fiesta ST the top pick for a light hot hatch?

Ford outclassed its life-long Australian foe in part because of cars like the Fiesta - sure, the Ranger is the brand's best-seller, but exciting cars like the Mustang and this Fiesta ST keep people interested in the long run.

Saying a final goodbye is always hard. Especially when it involves a much-loved name. We are talking about cars, of course. It’s always disappointing to hear about another famed hot hatch going the way of the dodo, or a cheap and cheerful hatch being discontinued for safety reasons.
