Moving up to the Focus ST on September 1st from owning 3 Fiesta STs since its launch in March 2013, gone for an ST3 in Tangerine Scream with Nav and Style Pack (19" wheels), already added a Triple R Composites front splitter and a Mountune air filter, also a centre box delete pipe for a little bit more noise smile

Cannot wait to get the car now after waiting 2 months from ordering, I usually go for a vehicle they have in stock but these Focus's are pretty hard to get hold of in the past few months with many delays at the factory with STs plus I specifically wanted Stealth Grey or Tangerine Scream, went for the latter in the end and now it's arrived at work I do not regret it!

That's really nice. I sold my pre facelift ST-2 4 months ago and really miss it. When finances allow I think I'll go for an ST-3 this time. Can I ask how comfy the full leather seats are. My wife really couldn't get on with the recaros in mine and found the bolsters too hard and the head rest too far forward.

With the missing 5pot, these didn't really do much for me but now have really grown on me! I actually like the styling and you cant miss yours cool

Love these, I'm currently on my second Fiesta ST and thinking of changing to one of these next, how do they compare to the Fiestas?

Very nice car, the Focus ST. thumbup
I wonder, did you p/ex the Fiesta at the dealership you work at?
Just thinking about the body/paint mods you did.

I have a facelift st3 diesel in deep impact blue and part from the mpg being nowhere near the quoted figures i can't really fault it so far. Had it about 2 months.

With the discounts you can get they are a lot of car for the cash really.

What sort of MPG does the diesel really get?

mine has done just over 2000 miles and according to the computer 46-47mpg which i find a bit disappointing given the quoted 67 mpg combined.

The quoted for my previous octavia vrs was 49mpg and i averaged about 44mpg so a lot closer to the quoted figures.

Looks nice, I like the colour. Only thing I'm not a fan of on these are the exhausts, the mk2 ST exhausts looked better.

Whilst I like the Focus, the Fiesta is much more engaging to drive, I find the Focus a bit heavy and sluggish. All IMO of course.

Hope you're happy with it OP, the 19's make a big difference.

Love these, one of the few new cars that really floats my boat. I've sat in quite a few now desperately trying to justify one for the Mrs (TDCi) but they were all pre-facelift. The 2015 MY makes a massive difference, particularly on the ST3 with the 8" screen.

We've ended up with a 2015MY Titanium estate, might well come back for a petrol ST in the future for myself.

Really like this shape of Focus and will be interested in the RS when it comes out - amazing how large a Focus is nowadays though.. Love that orange with the 19 inch wheels, looks mean cool
