Just ordered a Focus ST 3

for 1st March delivery. It's the current model cos I don't like the new bonnet design.


So...What do I need to know?

Thanks I'll join that site -i hadn't looked for a forum. It will actually be my wife's car... She needed a new car to replace her 3 year old Zetec 1.6 with climate and as the new car is awful to look at and we didn't like it the only option was to get what I consider to be the best of the current model. As her dad gets employee discount from working at Jaguar we paid £15750 for an unregistered one. It would have been rude not to buy! She'll drive it for a couple of years and then I'll have it and keep mine for Sunday best! Maybe we'll get an RS so it might all change. In the meantime I get to cane it when I feel like it!

We looked at Honda Civic - dealers I could happily punch, well put off, Volvo C30 - that back window, what were they smoking, Vauxhall Astra - employee discount aswell, dealer great but car not special enough and the Fords including a Mondy - too big and underpowered at the mo. So ST3 it is and they're hard to find. Only about 4-5 in the country. They are taking orders for the new, beaten with an ugly stick, one for Mid March delivery though.
