That looks great! The more I see these, the more I want one... Usable performance and nice MPG too. Looks great in that colour too. Good choice bud smile

Looks great in red. White is the new brown now (on new cars, anyway). And so, so much better looking than the new Clio. Can you ever imagine parting with money for a Clio when you could have one of these!

Congrats on the new car, looks stunning. I have a Race Red with Style Pack on order, so the above picture is very useful!

Very nice car! Had a look at one in my local Ford dealer and they do look good, the Recaros look lovely.

It does look pretty damn red! nice orange tint to it in the sun though

Not a fan of those red seats, to me they look a bit ripspeed special

Nice car overall though smile

I've just ordered one of these to replace my MK1 Focus RS!

Loved the test drive as it drove just like the RS but better and without the high running costs. How are you getting on with yours now? Still enjoying it?

I'll hopefully get mine in around 10 weeks, ordered an ST-2 in Race Red with sat nav and climate. I cannot wait! biggrin

They've also stopped making the Molten Orange colour now due to problems mixing the paint, whether thats a permanent thing or not I'm not sure though.

Use Dodo Juice Orange Crush on my Milano Red FN2, great product and smells great! Well chuffed with how it comes out. ST looks mint

Im still loving it more every day, much faster and also more fuel efficient than my previous car the racing puma, ive not heard owt about stopping molten orange and i work at a ford dealer, saying this i do have a paint issue on mine where the front bumper is off colour to the wing on the drivers side but we have done a few sprayouts at work and have found a good match so hopefully will be ok once the bumper is re painted.

But other than that its an awesome car and i would highly recommend it to anyone after a hot hatch.

Glad to hear it, its frustrating seeing everyone posting pictures of theirs and I've still got a 10 week wait!

I'm not sure about the colour then but Ford wouldn't let me choose it.

Also, what sort of MPG are you getting out of it? Heard reports of 35mpg combined and 45mpg+ on the motorway.

Well im getting just over 30mpg normal driving but i have been giving it some right foot action quite a lot, yeah when you get on a motorway into sixth gear its easy doing 45mpg maybe more.

It will be worth the wait i promise you that, in the mean time you should get your dealer searching round for vehicles of similar spec that are already built, you may just find one and get it a lot quicker.

There is a group test in this weeks Auto Express with the ST, Clio RS and 208 GTI. Glad to say the ST was the winner, with the quickest time round the track and the best overall ability. Just got to wait until June for mine though!
