Why I WOULDN'T Own A Ford Focus ST...

In this video I jump in a 2006 Ford Focus ST, to see how it really behaves.
Finally got away from the German cars, just to see how other compare... but it's still a hatch back, so don't expect too much to be different!
I realised I didn't make much sense in the video when i said about how it's wobbly but planted. Hard to explain to be honest, quite a bit of torque steer but it doesn't feel "boaty" at high speeds.

I've got a facelift Mk2 ST-3 and absolutely love it! If looked after they're absolutely solid. Very reliable Volvo 5 pot and running gear. People start having issues when the get silly power out them. Mines on the standard engine map, 3" downpipe, 3" 200 cell sports cat with standard deresed backbox and honestly sound like an RS. Eibach springs and a Hardrace RARB make it handle like a dream. Great cars!

@Christian Buczko - Exactly my point high mileage, good luck finding an electric orange that’s in actual good condition with low miles for anywhere near the prices you’ve quoted people don’t tend to give stuff away and price accordingly unless their circumstances are not favourable. I guess my idea of ‘good condition’ is likely very different to others no offence intended. My cars on 60k only two stone chips on the entire car no dents, dinks or scratches zero nearly no swirls too as I stick to a vigorous detailing regime. You could say it’s a buyers market, I say that it’s also circumstantial. Good luck finding a car like mine for a pittance. eBay will likely have a load of nice ropey ones for around those prices lol!

Good vid chap. but you might want to have a rethink about where you decide you "lets say drive a bit freely with your right foot " going through a built up area and having a speed sign flashing you might not be the best idea. also your fpv , 1st thing, dont let the camera show where the needle is on the dial, if the piggy's want to take an interest they would have plenty of evidence, 2nd, put the sun visor up lol.. its just a thought.. any how, i agree that the inside looks and the cheep placky feel let this car down in a big way. but if you think about how much they were when they came out from factory ie starting from 17k the inside is pretty much bang on for a car of that price. they were mainly built for the young petrol heads to afford. couldnt imagan what the insurance would be though !

It's funny because I watch your videos since I baught my first car golf 4 gti with 180bhp, then I baught this Ford focus ST the same in orange and I can tell you it's not an expensive car, the engine is great but I don't recommend you to buy it because I had a lot of problems with other things and it drinks a lot of fuel to 😅 so now I have a audi s3 sedan(not the same price I know) with 300hp and I'm pretty happy with it :)

I had an mp260 mk2 face lift in oranges. Best car ever! It drank petrol, fucking chewed tyres and the clutch was shagged when I traded it in with 90k on the clock. I would have another 1 any day!

@@TheRaceAcerfrom other people I can see what you mean, the steering is tricky because it has no driver aid except for basic power steering, and yes if you we're to add a turbo it would change the car but like you said buying a cup would be slightly better, but it's all about personal preference, thanks for explaining in detail

With the stiff handling you can change the stiffness on the dash between sport / comfort / standard. There usual set to sport so that’s why it would have felt stiffer than the other cars you have drove.
