FIRST AUSSIE DRIVE

FORD FIESTA ST

BRILLIANT THINGS COME IN THREE-POTS

IN THE DORMANT early hours, the sound of an alarm is piercing. Mornings are tough enough, but rising at 5am on a chilly Sunday morning seems especially cruel. Unless, of course, there is motivation to avoid pressing the snooze button. Inspiration comes via the key to the long-awaited Ford Fiesta ST. My plan is simple – punch out of the city and head for some of Victoria’s best driving roads.

Slinking into the heavily bolstered Recaro bucket-style seats (now wider and heated) it’s hard not to immediately pick up on the intent.
