[Deanb1987]

Hi people new to the piston heads page at the minute I drive a 2008 vw touran 2.0 TDI I'm 31 and looking at getting a focus ST3 now the kids are bigger,now the one I'm looking at is orange but the wife seems to think that I'm to old for a car like that now would of been alright when I was 18 there was no way of me affording the insurance on one at that age but now I'm apparently old 👴 I can afford it I was just wondering how old u guys are that drive an ST3 apologies if this is in the wrong forum

I had a mk2 Focus ST in bright "asbo orange" for two years, which I bought when I was 38. Nothing wrong with that in my book!

As stated the "orange" one is a Mk.2 exclusive colour. The Mk.3 exclusive colour is yellow(Tangerine Scream).
31 is relatively young for ST ownership.
I've had 2 Mk.3 ST3's when I was 48 then 50. Both great cars, although the 2015 onwards facelift model is the one to buy.

I'm mid-40s and have a Tangerine Scream ST3.

It raised a few eyebrows when it first appeared in the car park at work - and I suspect that there may have been a few gently mocking comments behind my back about mid-life crises - but TBH WGAF?

It's a nice colour and it's not THAT out there. The Electric Orange on the Mk2 was more of a "look at me" colour, to my mind.

Got an ST3 but in grey. Great cars, well specced, kind of secretly wish I got the tangerine scream
