Fiesta ST Line
Your Learning Vehicle
My driving lessons are conducted in a Ford Fiesta ST Line, which is modern, clean, well maintained and comfortable. It’s considered a great car for pupils to learn in as its compact, is easy to drive and has good all round visibility.
My car is fitted with He-Man duel controls (brake and clutch) for safety and air conditioning for comfort, among other driver aids.
“The 2022 Ford Fiesta ST-Line brings sporty style to everyday driving, with a body kit, gloss-black grille and lowered suspension for a sharper stance. Inside, it’s fitted with bolstered sports seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel. Powered by efficient EcoBoost engines, the ST-Line delivers agile handling and modern driver-assist tech, making it the perfect blend of style, performance, and practicality.”
