Default Face Lift Focus ST

My new ST





I like the rear, still not 100% sure about the front and I think the carbon fibre look alike looks a bit cheap on the dash.

The start button is good addition, open the car with the remote, then put the key fob in your pocket, push the clutch in and press the button.

I saw an orange one this afternoon. Looks great in the flesh and better than the last model.

Not my kind of car but looks nice, well done.

Not sure about the carbon dash though.

Would like to see it in white

It's a shame they've stuck with the 1980's/90's 'Viper' wheels, though

It was the same price but has gone up a few hundred pounds since the 1st April.

Its my 4th ST in 18 months...I get quite a big discount being in the forces, so can change it every 6 months without losing anything...

I originally traded my 03 WRX in for the first one and the most noticeable difference from the WRX is the torque, it is amazing on the ST. It will pull and pull in any gear without having to ring its neck.

I still miss the WRX and if it wasn't for the high insurance and servicing cost I would probably get another one..
