Should be worth a watch as Chris Harris is a big fan of the car:-

"Small car versus supercar

The new Ford Fiesta ST is a very good little car. But is it better than a £300,000, 700 horsepower Lamborghini Aventador? Well, according to Chris Harris, yes, yes it is.

To prove his point, Chris took the very affordable Fiesta and the very unaffordable Lamborghini on a big trip across wales Wales. And up through a particularly narrow multi-storey car park, because it's a proper consumer test. And around a race track, because it's Chris Harris"

Are my reviews more helpful? :ph34r:

:lol:
Yes! I like your Youtube reviews. Theres far too many "look how fast i can go!" and "Lets do skids!" type reviews.
Yours are more of a continuing ownership reviews and what long term owners may choose to do to their car. I would still like to see a multiple map dyno review of the MK8. You have Revo, i have MaxD, if we could find a Collins owner and Mountune and arrange a dyno day i think that would make a good vid for your channel. 4 different maps on the same dyno on the same day with no single company affiliation would make a great comparison.

That would make for some interesting viewing! I'm told that the Dreamscience Stg1 Map is complete so we should see that soon also

Thoroughly enjoyed the Top Gear review tonight - I thought they hit the nail on the head to be honest, and made the same point I've been making to my friends for years... It's about FUN!

Although, I'd probably take the Lambo over the Fiesta :lol:

GT this Friday was again a pretty poor show, overall I think Top Gear this season was better than the GT. A great review from Chris Harris and spot on with the ST being the perfect sports car for the UK roads, I had a MK7 new a few years ago and loved it, I didnt even test drive the new MK8 and was amazed how such a great car in the MK7 could be improved that much.

Fact: Harris+any car to review=good and interesting to watch. You can just see that he cares and loves cars so much. You can just see his face light up was it a damn 2cv on country lanes or a ultra rare Porsche on a racetrack.

The Skoda Yeti was was half decent, back in 2009.

If you overlook the point at which they landed a helicopter on it's roof.
My brothers boss was the helicopter pilot who performed this stunt - he didn't get permission from the CAA to do it and it resulted in him getting his pilots licence suspended for a couple of months :laugh:
