The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fiesta) B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/28/2014-ford-fiesta-st-la-2012/). The US-spec hot hatch was first shown (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/28/2014-ford-fiesta-st-la-2012/) at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/la-auto-show/) last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost/) inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI (http://www.autoblog.com/volkswagen/gti/) while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/29/2014-ford-fiesta-la-2012/) for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).

Of course, this price includes niceties like partial-leather Recaro seats ($1,995), a HD audio system with MyFord Touch infotainment and navigation ($795), upgraded 17-inch dark alloy wheels ($795) and a power moonroof ($795). Molten Orange and Green Envy paint schemes will set you back an additional $595, as well.
Here's where things get tricky, though: Option out a larger Focus ST (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus+st) with similar levels of equipment and you're spending $29,825, all-in. Even at the base end of the spectrum, the larger Focus only represents a $2,300 price premium over the Fiesta ST, and in addition to quite a bit more space, the bigger hatch also offers a more powerful 2.0-liter turbo four with 252 horses and 270 lb-ft.
Decisions, decisions. If the Fiesta ST is anything like its bigger brother, we have no doubt it'll be a hoot on the road. In light of their prices, let us know which one you'd have by casting a vote in our poll below, then feel free to drop us a line in Comments.
