Hot hatches might not be a huge thing here in the US but it does not mean that the Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic are not great cars. Today, we will be comparing both the Fiesta ST and the Sonic RS to find out which is better.

The Fiesta ST has an opening price of $21,460 and it runs on 1.6L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. The motor is paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox and this helps generate about 197hp and 202ft-lbs of torque. The Fiesta ST can also return about 26mpg city and 33mpg highway.

As for the Chevrolet Sonic RS, the $20,095 car runs on the 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that can generate about 138hp and 148ft-lbs of torque. The Sonic RS is operated with a 6-speed manual gearbox and it can return about 27mpg city and 34mpg highway.

Judging from the above, it is obvious that the Fiesta ST is the better car overall. The vehicle is about $1,000 more expansive than the Chevrolet Sonic RS but it can offer tons more power while being economical at the same time.
