Didn't think my OP through.

Its an ST2 and first impressions are its better in every single area than my old tuned fiesta ST. So far I'm averaging the same fuel consumption aswell which is nice as I have a 60 mile Commute everyday.

Plans are to do a few trackdays and maybe take a trip upto Mountune for the 275 package as it gets great reviews. One thing I'm definitely not doing is changing the exhaust on this one

really? what was disappointing about it? I've come from a mk6 fiesta ST so this in comparison feels like a rocket ship and much better equipped.

Petrol. A diesel ST just doesn't appeal at all although i've never driven one...

Hahahaha. Nice car OP.

It wouls indeed be nice to hear a bit more about it. Did you ever drive the 2.5T ST? Anything else to compare it to?

my car history is quite limited to be honest! (I'm only 22) and no I didn't drive the 2.5T ST but my friend has a modified one and if it wasn't for the shocking MPG i'd have probably gone for one because of the 5 pot noise!

my first car was a 2002 1.2 clio and then i moved onto the mk6 fiesta last year and did the suspension, cams, intake, exhaust inc manifold, larger throttle body and remap and had it dyno'd at 186bhp. It wasn't quick by any means but it was a hoot to drive on a good road.

May I ask how much you are paying a month? Or perhaps you could PM me if you wanted to keep that private.

Lovely by the way, black is the best colour I think.

sure no problem, yeah I agree! so many of the grey ones in the carpark!

ST2 with privacy glass added.

36 month contract with the Option to change car every 12 months or 9 months if its not in Negative equity.
12k miles. They aren't too fussed about you going a little over so long as it doesn't come back with more than 36k if you keep it the full 36 months which nobody does.
£500 upfront
£270 per month

I part ex'd my highish miles (97k) damaged,modified fiesta and they gave me £2100 so I'm expecting a cheque off the dealer soon!

[GTIAlex]

That deal doesn't seem too bad then all in.

I was getting quotes for nearer £350 originally but more recently my workmate got one for £289, similar deal to yours.

I ended up getting a red edition fiesta in the end, 1.0 140bhp which suits me nicely for the miles I do but would love an upgrade to the focus.



Get some more photos up!

Very nice,I've the older st2,don't think I could ever warm to a 4 Cyl motor.
Lovely car though.

[Patch888]

Looks very nice that mate, not driven one yet but hope to soon. I have a mk2 focus ST and on my 50 mile commute on the A1 im averaging 31mpg so not tooooooo bad.

[macajc88]

Very nice and the best colour!

I made the same jump from mk6 Fiesta ST to mk3 Focus ST in 2013 and the gaps in performance / quality / in car tech are enormous. Enjoyed my 2 years with the Focus. Sound quite good for a 4-cylinder too

Enjoy!

Very nice mate, saw the same car in a dark blue the other day and really liked it, seems to me that version of focus suits darker hues better
