MK2 Focus ST225: 12 Month Ownership Review 

34mpg!! That some good return, I never seen over 29 on a run

Where’d you get that reverse light from and nice review I can’t wait get an ST

@oldchannelkeshdcftw4488 the lights are from Autobeam, if you have a look through my videos there is an install video of them.

@@BamMotors thank you ❤️

Reliability wise any good?

That’s great to hear!! There will be more videos coming shortly just currently collecting parts in the garage!!!

Thanks mate, I’m planning on doing a 2 year fee in the next few weeks so stay tuned!!

Glad you enjoyed the video make sure you hit that subscribe button!! 2 year ownership review is inbound!! I love fast estate and the RS6 is king of them all! There’s just something about the MK2 Platform, is the 5 cylinder, is it the noise who knows but they are awesome cars!!

Cheers mate, getting the hang of davinci resolve slowly!! Forest Of Bowland fully recommend it for a drive!!

Those roads are accessible from anywhere in the UK 🇬🇧 🫠

Amazing roads !!!

Glad to hear that!! You won’t be disappointed when you save enough I absolutely love mine!!

@@BamMotors I just think for what your getting it's not the expensive at all! Audi's and BMW are far more expensive.

Yeah your not wrong thou mate

Can tell you categorically if you think a 1.6tdci is a nice car and haven't driven an st before your in for a massive shock, I never liked the focus, driven many of them due to my job and never ever rated them, thought they were a cheaply made cheaply built family car, dont mean any offence by that, the st is a completely different car, may look slightly similar but the whole experience is completely different, having driven my first one made me want one and had one ever since, Definitely do it, you'll love it 👍

@@TheWildPikey couldn’t agree more, there is definitely something about the MK2 platform!!

Your not long with the money but I’m heading for stage 2 my friend, full 3” Miltek with 200cell sports cat been installed, intercooler next to be installed!!

I’ve looked at the 340 package and there isn’t much needed between 320 & 340 package, so only time will tell how far I got but stage 2 intercooler is next!!

@BAM MOTORS good stuff man. You will love it.

@@BamMotors I'll be returning to Bd this year for the 500 package 📦 lol

Thanks for the offer, definitely something I’d be interested in mate, drop me a follow & message on Instagram, @bam.motors P.S Make sure you hit that subscribe button!!

Mines almost ready for stage 2 now!!

Amazing place, we started at Cape Town and traveled across the garden pass! I would love an RS and is likely the only way I would get rid of the ST but if it meant trading into an RS I love mine!!

@@BamMotors Cape Town is my favourite City! I'm glad to hear you still love the ST. I owned one before, and when I sold it I promised myself I would buy one again one day. Many safe, and happy miles brother😁👍🏻

Thank you, we started at Cape Town and travelled the garden route, went for our honeymoon. I use 2 different cameras, a Cannon G7x and a GoPro Hero 11

That isn’t too bad in 2 years of ownership!! I love mine and can’t see me moving on anytime soon!!

@@BamMotors also had to have a new engine built by BD performance after a few weeks of owning it took the opportunity when the engine was out to fit the RS clutch and flywheel cost me £3600 but I see it as an investment

Sounds like nice build!! RS clutch & flywheel are on my shopping list!!

Same here, what mods you currently running??

Stage 2 revo ,dreamscience intake full exhaust with 200 cell sportscat ,airtec plenum, airtec intercooler, full suspension bilstein b8s with whiteline anti rollbars ,full rouse motorsport hose kit, cost a bit but well worth it 👌

Sounds lovely, what power you running with them mods and stage 2 Revo?

@@BamMotors not right sure round about 290 I'd guess but it's enough for me drives well enough ,did have dreamscience map but the car started having major issues with the map misfiring horrendously revo much safer map 👍

@@Fishman1234. 290 sounds plenty, I'd like around the 300 mark. Interesting you say that about dreamscience. I think I've narrowed it down to either Collins Performance or MSD.

Yeah some of this was filmed in longridge, sorry mate don’t know the guy your referring too

Fuel cost definitely need to be factored in to when purchasing an ST, a full tank tends to last me around 10-14 days and I do about 130-150miles a week, I recently got 32mpg on a 100 motorway run!!

I think I will end up spending a fortune over that time as well!!

Money pit, but they sound fantastic, still regret selling mine, but rather enjoying my M2 ;-), 5 pot still sounds heaps better.

They are from AutoBeam, if you go back through my videos there is an install video on them

@@BamMotors cheers thank you

autobeam.co.uk/collections/focus-mk2-5-st-rs-2007-2010/products/led-rear-side-reverse-fog-unit there you go my mate 👍

autobeam.co.uk There’s also an install video on my channel

Welcome 🤗

There has been a name change, I guess I need to film and explain??

@@BamMotors what's it cost do have the black mod done ?

@@northwestbangers7890 I got other work done as well but I think the block mod was £750

I’ve just done a 100ish mile motorway run and it averaged 32.2mpg!!

​@@BamMotorsGoes up to 38 when it gets cold :p
