Ford Focus ST (2006 - 2010) 2.5 ST-3 3d (08) (2009/59) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

that i like spending my money on petrol.

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

they all love it, suprised how big it is for a 3 door car. My mates always want to go driving with me.

Would you buy this car again and why?

not really because i would have already owned it, but i have no regrets about buying the current one i own.

What are you likely to buy next?

getting a bit older now so maybe a bmw or audi, mainly for the superior build quality.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£16,800

When did you buy the car?

March 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

pretty good deal,pretty high spec and only 1000 miles when i bought it

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Good balance of equipment, performance and value for money.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

very smooth, brilliant chassis, performance is good to. Could do with a little more boost in the lower revs i feel but does pull pretty hard throughout the rev rang. build quality is much better than earlier models, although it is still quite plasticky in the cabin so you do get rattles. Main problem is it drinks fuel, it gets nowhere near parkers guide of 32 mpg, maybe if you keep it in sixth gear constantly, but in reality average driving gives around 23-25 mpg, so if you want to drive it hard, beware ofthe fuel costs.

What's it like to park?

no problems so far

Have you had any problems with the car?

nothing so far, but has only now just done 2000 miles.

What's most practical about your car?

very spacious interior, big boot also.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

i love the xenons,light up the road brilliantly and look great to.
