Have owned my ST2 for just over 6 years (October 2012 - bought it right when it first came out). Currently have 103k miles on it. Under warranty had both the Transmission and turbo replaced at 50k miles. Transmission had bad synchro in 2nd gear which was a pretty common issue with the early ones, turbo had unexplained catastrophic failure. Out of pocket expenses were new high pressure fuel pump (bought a used one and installed myself that was $75 repair). Also had to replace evaporative emission solenoid ($40 part installed myself). Finally a rear stabilizer link which was $15, did the other side proactively so lets say $30. Other than that just the usual tires, brakes, oil changes, broken fog light, new shocks/struts. I don’t abuse it, but i certainly have some fun with it. Always do pennzoil platinum full synthetic oil change every 5k miles and always run 93 octane fuel. I got the lifetime warranty break pads the first time i changed them so I’ve had 3 sets now after only paying for one. It does eat tires pretty quickly would be my main complaint but overall very happy

You are lucky. I had an engine go at 55k, struts and shocks go at 33k and 60k, tie rods, ball joints, control arms, sway links and bushings all were crap after 60k miles, and I had steering rack issues still and tram lining and my center of steering was off when I got rid of it. Luckily I got into an Is 350. The focus was fun though. Very fun.

I should probably include that I had only ford racing tune, exhaust, intake, and Eibach sport springs on until they leaked second time and then went to coilovers. So that may have played roll. The ford racing tune was questionable as far as long term damage on engine. I blame it for pre ignition damage to number 1 cylinder.

Got my 2018 ST1 4 months ago, have 5k miles on it. My Dad bought me a brand new Mercury Comet in 1970 with a manual, 4 speed (red with black interior). Now 49 years later I own a 2018 Ford ST Chili Pepper Red with black interior, it's FUN too! Didn't know it was such a popular little car until I read a bunch of reviews on RU-vid. I'm an old lady now, but I still like the stick shift (cause I refuse to pay $5k for a no good automatic transmission, rebuild). Anyhow, it's fun to drive 0 to 60 in less than 6 seconds. And I need a fast little car that gets me from point A to B pretty fast, if need be.

It's been about 7 months since I bought my '17 ST, and I constantly have moments where I think to myself, "I fuckin' love this car!" Glad to see that you're still having that feeling 3 years in. I'm not really a Ford guy, but they had something really special in the ST. Sad that they have nixed it in the US. I'll be hanging on to mine as long as I can. I really dig your videos, and I'm glad that you'll be continuing to make videos about your ST for the foreseeable future. Keep it up!

Dude, I thoroughly agree with your assessment to buy into the brand as far as aftermarket upgrades. First off, I believe one should purchase a vehicle whose performance is acceptable in stock form, then proceed with caution if you must. I've just seen too many aftermarket tunes and parts affecting the overall design in a way that can potentially make them less durable. I personally want to have my car dependable first, I need it. I don't NEED the most power I can wringe out of its neck. Thanks

Well Gjeebs I have had my 1st real problem with my ST3. At 73,000 miles the fuel rail sensor went bad which made the fuel pump run overtime and fried it. Both were replaced by the Ford dealer and I had them do their 3 stage valve de-gunk process for a cool $200 bucks for a total of $1000.00 hit to my wallet. Let’s not forget the 6 days it was in the shop. Rental car @ $40.00/day.....another $240.00 for a grand total of $1,240.00. Ugly. But my going on 6 years old baby runs and looks close to new and she has been extremely reliable overall. Nice video of your experience so far.

Had a 2014 for a three year lease. Turned it in. A year later I needed a daily driver. I just bought a used 2018 with 14k. It's been great! No problems and everything in the car is tight, more so than my first. Didn't realize I'd miss it so much. Wanted to get my hands on one before they're gone for good. I always kicked myself in the ass for selling my 2005 SRT 4. Not happening this time around. And yes the front wheel drive does get tiring but this car is a a great driving experience! It's a keeper

Still have my 2015 and I think the same things that you mentioned. I love it !! same tune with the ford cold air intake Plugs tune with exhaust also thinking of a bigger intercooler. Want to also get a down pipe but can’t seem to find one from ford. I also try to keep it all ford. Lately I’ve also been thinking it would be nice to have a rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. The only thing I fine with my ST is that I’m always putting gas in it. In town driving burns a lot of gas but highway driving is excellent gas millage My car has 64400 km witch is probably in the area of what yours is at. Don’t feel like doing the math right now lol.

Have a 2014 ST3. Problems? Nada! Nothin! Nyet! Nope! Nah! Naw! Nein! I'm totally surprised as it's my very first domestic branded vehicle I've owned in 25-yrs. Swore off the domestics because of the experience my family had when I was a kid growing up. 'Murican cars in our experience were reliability nightmares, so when I was old enough to get my own, I wanted to get a reliable car so have had Japanese and German (I know, I know, "reliable") cars exclusively. This is also the cheapest car I've ever bought, so that it is the both the cheapest (cost and maintenance) and currently has a 100% reliability trackrecord with me. . .I'm happy. I bought the extended factory warranty with the lighting coverage also, so bumper to bumper AND the lighting group (those LED nacelles can cost a bomb if they need to be replaced for some reason), so I'm covered for 8-yrs total. Never held on to a car for 8 yrs, but I find that I'm in no rush to trade this one in just yet. Totally agree with you on the steering-wheel, I wish it were thicker like my prior Audi S4. Also agree with jonesin' for 4/all wheel drive next. I live where it snows and I gotta account for that, and I'm starting to miss a bigger car if I'm being honest. But I can't complain if I'm being honest. Nothing at all to complain about. One of the most positive ownership experiences I've ever had!

Hey gjeebs, I’m also a st owner. Given the chance to start over would you buy the ford calibration or the Cobb ap? I’m at this crossroad right now. The ford calibration gives lots of torque and moves the horsepower sooner in the rpm range. I mostly commute with this car and have a little fun here and there. Have Cobb 3” catback, getting catted downpipe. Cold air intake, cpe rmm v2. Thanks for sharing any experiences.
@Gjeebs
@Gjeebs 5 лет назад
I just like that Ford Developed their calibration so it takes a lot of the risk out of getting a tune. Because the car is my daily I have to keep it reliable so anytime I upgrade it I consider that. If it were a second car maybe I would be more aggressive. The Cobb will give you more more feedback and is customizable where the ford calibration you just put it on and that’s it

Vipz336 I own a 2017 ST3 and I am also a technician for ford. Any intercooler will work with or without a tune. The only reason a tune will help is to use the added efficiency to its fullest. I have heard good things about the ford performance calibration but it is important to note that a tune from mountune is also warrantable if you are worried about that.

I'm looking to buy a used he said it’s 2013 st2 I bought it stock with 32k on it it’s now at 68k and raising. It lowered on springs and new struts probably 15k miles on them. It has 2.5inch straight pipe from the cat back. Can come with a 3inch catless downpipe and an accessport Got other small mods like sound symposer delete and fswerks short shifter with solid shift cable bushings and solid shift mounts And I also have a Cobb RMM that’s not on the car"" its red and looks clean. I need a daily and drive a 2006 rsx type s. But need a upgrade. Does his car sound ok for a daily. I wanted completely stock but his price and miles are hard to pass up

I have a 13ST with ST2 package that i recently bought thats race red and first thing im going to do is put the Konig Myth Red Black Custom Rims on it then ill put the flowmater exhaust on it afterwards then go from there on deciding what ill do to it afterwards. The car had 91k on it and got it for 10k here where i live. No dents or scratches on it pretty clean looking car love the way it rides n how smooth it is. Just wanting change rims out to make my car different to stand out more from the others since they all pretty much have the same snowflake wheel. Oh forgot gotten the 1552 front cup spoiler kit and had them painted race red and installed on my front bumper gives it that more aggressive look in the front

Just picked up a bone stock 2014 ST2 with 43k miles, really as just a daily (I have a Yamaha MT10 for my speed needs). I don't plan on putting any tune on it or any excessive mods, maybe just an exhaust and intake. I recognize they're not meant to be crazy power cars, rather just jack of all trade daily's (comfortable, reasonably fuel efficient yet reasonably quick, good truck space, e.t.c.) I've had my fair share of crazy cars (terminator cobras with around 600whp) and I think it'll be nice to tone it down a bit for a year or so. At least until the used market drops back down.

"Exciting car that's coming out soon" Veloster N? Not going to lie, I should've shopped around for a Focus ST instead of my current Civic Si because I want more car now. At least with the Focus ST, all I would have to worry about is broken parts but it would still keep me excited for another year. Now, I'm waiting for dealers to get some Veloster Ns in so I can finally check them out and eventually get one.
@jameslynch6913
@jameslynch6913 5 лет назад
The only thing the fuel would help with is possibly it burns cleaner. That's it. It happens because you are no longer injecting fuel before the intake valve like older fi systems or carburetors. If it has not given you a problem its probably just a luck the tune really makes no difference. Off boost driving is off boost driving it will pretty much act the same with or with out a tune or what tune it has. If anything the Ford performance tune would be the worst. Last I checked it was set at 28psi of boost which uses the most fuel under full throttle. So richer and more carbon.
@deejayimm
@deejayimm 3 года назад
The carbon build-up occurs on the backside of the intake valves specifically because fuel does not pass through in the intake to get into the cylinder, that's why it's called direct injection. So any fuel or additive designed to clean will make no difference because it is injected directly into the cylinder and never touches the back side of the intake valves. If it really bothers you, you can add port injection, but I wouldn't bother with that, your engine will die from ringland failure before your valves are gummed up to the point of causing issues.

I wish this didn't make me sound so stupid, I currently drive an 09 P71 and thought of trading for a Fiesta or Focus ST until I started hearing horror stories about how messed up the valves got on cars with direct injection and that it was made much worse with the addition of turbochargers. I got the impression that engines like those in the ST models started dying a not too slow death after about 36,000 miles. Yet there are so many positive comments about these cars...
