Ford Focus ST (2006 - 2010) 2.5 ST-2 3d (08) (2010/10) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Bit of a boy racer who likes to look flash on the cheap hehe.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They love it. Not a bad thing to say about it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes! Because it's a great car and relatively cheap to run depending on your driving style.

What are you likely to buy next?

Focus RS.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£13,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Not too bad although I paid the top end of the vehicle's value, I had a years warranty thrown in.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always wanted a fast Ford.

What was the dealer like?

Nice dealer and standard service from a chatty salesman. Typically what you would expect but not a bad thing and I knew what I wanted.

What's it like to drive?

Amazing!!! I have driven faster cars but this is just great. The power delivery is fantastic, great for overtaking on motorways. It corners really well and the chassis and suspension really make it feel stable and the noise!!! Oh my god the noise!!! 2.5 duratec 5 pot! Wow!!!

What's it like to park?

Just fine! As long as you can park although the turning circle isn't great but that's fine if you judge correctly.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No but I had read about some common minor faults with the MAF, MAP and boost solenoid so I replaced them myself. Easy!!

What's most practical about your car?

It really can be used everyday for commuting, long/short journeys and the boot is huge!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Has to be the aux port for my ipod as I love banging tunes whilst driving and the sound system compliments the car nicely.
