Watched that clip sooo many times over the Years. It influenced my decision to buy a new EO ST-3 in 2006! And now...I am due to pick up an EO ST-2 next Tuesday, '57 plate, 24k miles. So..I like the ST (5 cylinder that is) so much..I'm on my 2nd! :-))

I have now had one since September and the only problems I have had are a fuel pressure sensor needing replaced and the alternator went. However these are problems that could happen to any car. If you are look to buy one I would recommending googling “focus st 225 buyers guide” and going to the guide on fordownersclub(dot)com

Hahaha, I almost spat out my coffee when I heard him say "the police won't need night vision to find it when it's been stolen". Reason being: ours was stolen and it was recovered the same night when the idiots were caught loading other goods into the subtle orange sleeper. All hail the mighty ST.

@MrKedab 12 лет назад

my ST is still standard BHP @ 225 - a remap which would take it to 280 BHP also increases the fuel economy by 10% overall...as it stands i get an average of 30 MPG out of it - admittedly i don't drive like a frikin lunatic everywhere but i don't drive like a granny either - i caught myself doing 120 MPH on the way to work a month or two ago and decided that's far to shitty a way to lose my license...be sensible kids ;o)

@LooseFalcon 15 лет назад

While that's not even close to one of the best times recorded, it's fantastic for a vehicle in that price range. I think that's why he's so ecstatic about the car. Not only is it quick, but it handles like a dream. I'd totally get one, but they don't have that model in the US. So I'm gonna settle for an SVT Focus.

I had a stateside spec 2015 fiesta ST and I loved it. The only thing that kept me from getting the focus ST yet is that I wanted the newer RS and there was a lot of hype 5 years ago about the phenomenal handling. I loved that thing! Now that I've tried the RS the focus ST is next in line.

I bought a new black one in 2007 off the back of this this review. Kept it for 3 years. Now in 2023 I have bought a black 2007, 1 owner, low mileage unmodified example as a second car. Its become a modern classic and it was incredibly difficult to find such a nice example. But absolutely loving it.

@rudeydudey05 14 лет назад

My dads old Focus is one of the best drives i have encountered, i have driven from London, through France to the costa del sol in the south of Spain and the car loved it. My dads earlier cars were simply awfall on the same trip, ie the Citroen Picasso (Uncomfy seats, had dead legs after 4 hours or so, good car though) and VW Passat (Bumpy and bad milage), my current Mini Cooper was also good, the focus imo was the best allrounder.

Larry Silver they dont make them like this anymore. The new one looks okay but the shape of this one was the best. The new Fiesta ST looks great but there are two things it should have. A four cylinder turbo, something new like a 1.8 or something, not three cylinders. It should also be a available in that Focus RS green colour, whatever that was called.

@ShatteredChi 15 лет назад

Brett - the Honda Civic Type R (2006) has 200 naturally aspirated BHP and weighs ~2600 -2700 lbs. The 2006 Ford Focus ST has 223 BHP from a blown engine and weighs about the same 2600-2700 lbs. So the focus would have more HP earlier in the rev range and more torque (the turbo) and the same weight. Plus the focus' Torsen LSD is very good. There is no reason a type r would "piss on" it unless your friend simply can't find his gears.

@s8tank Red with the exterior pack and 3dr. I love it! It's been lowered by 30mm which takes away the gap between the wheels and the arches and makes a load of difference! I didn't like the interior either, the centre air vents look horrible. But if you get the gloss black dash from the Design model (costs about £200 brand new) it makes a world of difference!

@s8tank I've just bought an Astra SRi+ 1.9 CDTi! Very cheap to insure, 150bhp standard and it pulls like a tank. I'm 20 year old with 2 crashes and my insurance is £1400... which is great for my car record! Plenty of tuning available too. Throw a remap at it and you'll be seeing nearly 200bhp for cheap. Mines getting 38mpg on hard runs too... never seen it under 36 and I hammer it.
