Hi All,

Thought I'd see more threads about this, but just wondering who has ordered one of these?

I have placed my order last week - should have it late May/Early June.

I ordered about 3 weeks ago via drive the deal I have been told roughly the end of june for delivery.

I have ordered an st3 in deep impact blue with nav/upgraded speakers and privacy glass.

I was initially looking at a merc c class but to get the equivalent spec as the focus would have cost ££££££, great discounts on drive the deal on the focus so I have gone down the boy racer route.

The wife wouldn't let me get an estate though as she doesn't like them and she has convinced me the hatch boot will be big enough for our two dogs.

I have also ordered a Deep Impact Blue, with cruise, SYNC 2, City Pack and Privacy glass.

I ordered mine last week (although was already in the system) as an unallocated car, mine is due end of June too!

ordered over a month ago, will be Mrs Mogsmex's new car

ST3 in moondust with premium Nav (sync2) and door protectors, did have the style pack but just cancelled due to a combination of not being able to get them in grey and the increased cost/ride issues

there fantastic cars and drive really well, she's realy looking foward to the upgrade from her current 14 plate Titanium Fiesta


edit, TH15 STD still availble on DVLA if your feeling brave wink

I cant understand why Ford dropped the ST exclusive Spirit Blue in favour of the regular Focus colour of Deep Impact Blue, because the former is a more attractive colour. confused

Did you not consider going for an ST3, because it has both of them standard plus more toys.
A jump in price admittedly, but still wouldnt surprise me if the ST3 is the biggest selling model in the range.

I did consider the ST3 Ron, but the hike in monthly payments didn't help!

I am receive a car allowance which covers the car cost and monthly maintenance on the ST-2 with these options, it wouldn't stretch to an ST-3 and I'd rather not pay extra personally!

These are likely to be on our company car list, as I'm getting Mrs Sanf an XC90 I can get something small. A220 CDi AMG, A3 S Line, Volvo V40 D4 181 - and now the Focus. Everything I'm reading is saying it's a great car to drive, with loads of kit - so is really coming into contention driving.

Love it in Tangerine or White - hopefully St3 will be on the list......lots of thinking I've had my heart set on the A220 for a while........

Thats an unusually long time. eek
I picked up my current Focus ST within 2 weeks of it being gate released....and that was including the time it took to come up to Scotland by train and had been at my local dealer for 2 days.
A customer ordered car should be marked as priority over dealer stock cars.
I would be seriously pissed off if i was told my car was going to take 4-6 weeks for delivery after being built.

When did you order?

I ordered on about 23rd march and my unhelpful dealer still won't give a build date, in fact when i emailed him to ask if he knew it the reply i got was like i was being told off for being a naughty child for daring to ask.
