Says you've got to log in to view it.Mate of mine ordered his White ST3 a few weeks ago to replace his 350Z, but it seems that people who ordered theirs much earlier are still waiting. Anyone waiting on their order?

I'm looking at one of these (probably on a lease, feel free to shot me;) ) to replace my ST170 as my commute is about to get a lot longer! Everyone happy?
Nothing wrong with leasing, everyone has their reasons! I opted for leasing too, work pay me £360 a month for the car so it doesn't cost me anything apart from insurance each year!I'm over the moon with mine, love it! Had it 2 months nearly, got 3,600 miles on it.

I am 56 retired and will not do more than 5000 miles a year.Its a cheap deal when you compare it to what other lease companies are asking.Yes I would prefer the petrol as its more of a drivers car but you rarely see them on a lease deal and if you do they are very expensive.Quite a lot of reviews say the diesel is better to drive than the petrol as it has less torque steer and the chassis is set up slightly different that makes it ride and handle better.
EGR and DPF will be clogged to f
k before it's even out of warranty. 
What a waste of a car.Got my ST2 Nav on Monday - as a company car. Having done 700 miles this week, it really is a fantastic car. I think it looks great, is very comfy (and the seats are, it's fair to say snug!!), the dash looks great and voice recognition is very, very good.
As for driving it, while the diesel is not full balls out bonkers like the petrol, mid-range it pulls so well and is quick. When I had my Merc C320cdi, it was just outright fast - exceptionally so, and while it was fun being rear wheel drive, it always felt heavy and not so planted on the road. The Focus feels aggressive, very squat and planted to the road. The speed of direction change is awesome and it really feels well stuck to the road and torque steer isn't too bad either. On top of that I can easily fit the family in it (my eldest is now 15) and the dog in the boot, so it's a good size interior.
After the 1st week of ownership it's rapidly becoming my favourite car, well worth the wait, and very very happy with it
