Focus ST specs
i'm thinking of buying a Focus ST and have seen a nice blue 1 advertised for a decent price (56 plate)
What is the difference between the st1, st2, st3? i know the st3 has full leather (i prefer cloth) but what else is different? has anyone owned a ST and can offer any advice? Cheers |
ST1 = Basic AC, EW etc.
ST2 = As above plus Xenons, traction control and quick clear screen ST3 = all of the above lpus leather, only 2 rear seats, better stereo I think Steve |
Steve is correct, apart from the stereo...I think ST2 & ST3 are now the same...
More answers can be found here Focus ST Owners Club |
On the 56 plate the stereo's are the same, but the ST3 can take 6 discs and the ST2 only 1 disc.
Don't get an ST1 if you can help it. Great cars. :) |
I drove a "Wolf" edition yesterday & to say i was impressed with it was an understatement. My mate had a UK300 before the ST & i prefer his new ST to it.
|
Which version was it sti, the Wolf (Code:Red) 285, 295 or 330? :)
Either way, the Wolf conversions are good. |
well i've found a late 2006 ST2 with 22k and has a full miltek - hopefully leaving a deposit to secure it till the weekend when i can get to look at it in the flesh :)
anything i should pay attention to (common problems)? |
Might be worth seeing which type of miltek is on there - the resonated one is a bit quiet. Obviously that might suit better.
I owned an ST3 for 3 years and one minor problem with the power steering. It failed when one of the hoses came loose, but I think thats been corrected by now. They are fantastic daily drivers, and very good value - hence their popularity. If you do a lot of short journeys/stop-start driving then they drink the juice, but IMO worth it for the engine which is a gem. |

Sounds to me like an ST500 which may or may not have the Wolf conversion....
|
Is there any way he can find out easily or does it require a rolling road ?
|
He could try phoning Gary at Wolf UK in Stockport, he should know from the reg number.
|
well after waiting all day for the dealer to call me back (spoke to him last night and he said he'd ring me) i got a text 6 hours late to say he was out and would ring later.
I sent an email tonight to see what the situation is and he said he's sold the car!!! I've waited all day to leave a deposit as he asked to secure the car and now he's saying he's sold it - what sort of poor buisiness practise is that?????????? well p1ssed off |
Don't worry - buy mine ;) Ford : 2006 06 Ford Focus ST-3 Performance Blue :D
