Will the estate have the exhaust in a place that allows you to fit a tow bar? seriously, centre exhaust on an estate, who's stupid idea was that?
Who the hell fits a tow bar in this day an age. Buy a 4x4 SUV if you want to fit a tow bar. You would hardly ever find a fast estate fitted with a tow bar. dream on dude.Escort Si-130 said:

I like this. For once, Ford haven't put the most horrendous wheels on it.
Only problem for me with the fiesta and focus is that they try and make the base-models look so sporty, the ST's don't stand out. I know there's stealth and subtlety, but it's more of a case of "when everything looks sporty, nothing does."
That has been happening years now. Remember the days all other lesser spec came with standard plastic bumpers, steel wheels, no fog lights, standard interior seats, drum brakes etc.Only problem for me with the fiesta and focus is that they try and make the base-models look so sporty, the ST's don't stand out.

Oh and also this.It was infantile and killed my average mpg but on every roundabout I was giggling at all the econoboxes moving to the outside lane to overtake...and then leaving them for dead (up to 60 obviously).
I don't want a 4x4 SUV.

Not everyone wants to put up with the disadvantages of an SUV for the 10% of the time that they want a tow bar. I think that looks great personally, its an ST not the full on RS so of course its a bit more subtle.
280 bhp is a good output, can see how the not full house models are creeping up power wise.
And not sure why everyone expects Fords to be cheaper than say a VW, I dont think any of the German stuff is really any better.

I think it’ll be about £31k starting. My wife has got a (fairly high-spec) Focus on order and the list price with options is not far off £30k.
It won't start at over 30k. Autocar are suggesting 28.lee_erm said:
I like that. We just need an ST Mondeo now with the turbo V6 they put in American stuff.
Completely agree, if Ford made a Mondeo ST in estate form I'd be straight to the dealership to order one. The Focus isn't big enough for me anymore, even in estate guise. I've had every generation of performance Focus upto now but I've had to leave Ford behind for other marques as they don't sell what I want now.
