Why is the Ford Fiesta known for its great handling?

I've heard that the Ford Fiesta has exceptional handling capabilities. Can anyone tell me more about its technical features that contribute to this?

The Ford Fiesta's nimble and responsive handling can be attributed to its independent front and twist-beam rear suspension, which provides excellent stability and control.

In addition to its suspension, the Ford Fiesta also has an Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) system that adjusts to provide optimal control and feedback at any speed.

I've found that the Fiesta's AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control also helps with handling, especially in slick or uneven road conditions.
