I'm looking at trying a focus St, just wondering if anyone has one and could share knowledge.

I've found one not too far from me, 62 plate with 44k on clock. 2 litre ecoboost engine. 13k, so it's lost over half its original price tag in 4 years.

Any known issues with these engines? Reliability is important to me.

I might go to view one tomorrow.

Current car is an Audi a3, get about 4.5k for mine then about 8k bank loan. That's 145 per month for 5 years. Quite a commitment.

As much as I want to get back into my Ford's , I am not sure the St estate meets my needs.

It's quick and looks great (if u change the wheels), but apparently the back seats are a little cramped, and I've got to fit a big for his age 8 year old, a 5 year old on a booster seat, and a newborn baby on the back row.

The 8yr old will be cramped in the middle if the reviews are true. Shame really because the car ticks so many other boxes.
