Ford Focus ST (2006 - 2010) 2.5 ST-2 3d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Knows which performance car to but in a market full of them.

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

Liked a lot.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yep - faultless. Performance fantastic - leave Golf GTI's Type R's etc for standing.

What are you likely to buy next?

Well I can average 25mpg & it's only a small tank so it does get expensive to run. So something more cheaper to run.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£17,000

When did you buy the car?

April 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

I spent days looking around on internet dealers and found happynewcar.co.uk the cheapest. The price includes delivery & 1 years tax,too.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The anticipation of Ford's new performance hot hatch.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent.

What's it like to drive?

Great. With so much torque you don't have to toe-it to get really moving. Overtaking is easy in any gear. Of Course, stretch it thru the gears and most cars will struggle to get anywhere close. Relentless acceleration.

What's it like to park?

Easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

Engine management system light came on twice - fixed at Ford within a few hours - engine was misfiring.

What's most practical about your car?

All that performance but can fit 2 adults in the back and a Weimaraner in the boot!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Xenons - Daylight at night. Amazing.
