Just registered at PH after 1 year of reading. Let me share one thing and see what you think. Im Russian living in Holland and i was able to get company car this year. As an expat i pay less tax so it was possible to get smth real and not "blue efficiency green ecoflex 1.1 L hybrid". The company was ok if i get Focus ST Wagon so i went to a dealer.
- Performance Blue color - YES
- Good seats - YES
- Sony Audio + Navigation - YES (its crap, by the way, but its the other story smile
- Tow bar - NO!!!! What?
Why not tow-bar im asking the guy?
Because the pipes are in the middle...

So i took 1.6T 180 h/p instead. And after all the options ate the end of the day the budget was the same

tow bar? Not a big deal you may say..??
But its a BIG deal for me
Im passionate mtb guy, i have three mountain bikes and i go around with the bikes to Germany, Austria, France and etc when its possible. For that i need estate (fast fun estate) and a tow bar. And im a Ford Fanatic, so ST tiked all the boxes

When i dont have a tow bar i should either put the bikes on the roof (which is crap) or always put dirty bikes inside the car.
When i dont have a tow bar i cant have a trailer to bring a motorbike for a weekend to Germany, I cant have a trailer to bring all the crap from / to the house and etc

ST Wagon is a sport car, Ok. But its not a weekend toy!!! Its suppose to be your only car so it must be practical!!! So who is that person at Ford who has decided to make an estate without a possibility to use it as a proper family car????

Im i the only one who see this problem with ST?
