Ford Focus ST (2006 - 2010) 2.5 ST-3 5d (08) (2009/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like my cars!

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

They love it, can't believe how comfortable and practical it is considering its sportiness.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, although only when a new model comes out.

What are you likely to buy next?

I'd love an RS, but I can see me moving to the world of diesel next! (can't take 30mpg for much longer!)

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£17,995

When did you buy the car?

June 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Didn't barter on price, was happy to pay what I paid for high spec car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looked awesome in black, 5 door practicality, and stupid levels of extras fitted (including satnav and bluetooth)!

What was the dealer like?

Thought I was some boy racer who just wanted to test drive the car, so were quite unhelpful at first, but as soon as I mentioned I was interested in buying it they were all over me like a rash.

What's it like to drive?

Very good, very responsive steering and loves to change direction quickly. It's fast but it surprisingly (considering its front wheel drive) feels like it could handle alot more power. Superb low down torque, fantastic to be able to take every corner in 3rd and pull away strongly.

What's it like to park?

Easy, although back window isn't exactly the biggest. Parking sensors good.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

5 doors! Most ST's have 3 doors and I love it that people don't scratch the sills when they get in!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Keyless entry, satnav, superb bluetooth, so many to mention! Oh did I forgot to mention the mightily fine looking Xenon's!
