New focus st estate - anyone driven one yet?
Discussion
My Octavia VRS is coming up 2 years old and i am starting to get itchy feet.
I was thinking about looking at BMW 3 series or Merc c class estates but for the spec I was wanting they seem too expensive.
This brings me on to the new focus st diesel estate. I quite like the look of them and the st3 model seems to have an excellent spec for the money (about 23k once discounted).
Has anyone driven one yet? I haven't got time at the minute to call into a dealer but I will do some time in the near future.
If you have driven one I have a few questions-
1)whats the level of refinement like? The road noise is the main thing that annoys me on my VRS estate. I would hope a newer model car with a lot higher list price might be better insulated.
2) Whats the general level of interior fit and finish like, yes i know they aren't going to be any merc c class but what are they like.
3) I am aware the ST3 comes with a recaro rear bench seat. Is this spilt/folding or does it have a ski hatch? I put bikes and fishing gear in the back of mine a lot and theese are really handy features for me.
