The brakes are more than fine, thats with a bluefin chip on as well, they do take some getting used to as its either on or off.

Nice car mate.

The stereo in the 05/06 models was better, looked a lot nicer.Be carefull with the rims tho, they seem to attract kerbs.

Why did you go for a 5 door? 3 door is so much better

Have fun its a cracker of a motor!

Theres nothing chav about them at all, theres no stick on tat, no bad boy spoilers, i dont think it stands out that much at all.

The chrome things on the wings are a bit tacky, as is the silver trim round the fog surrounds.

That is awesome! Congrats Adam

One thing I'll never understand though... is why car manufacturers put silly bits of plastic to cover the engine I don't want to see a nice bit of plastic, I want to see oil, pulleys and great big turbos! lol

I really like the 4 doors! I didnt think i would at 1st (always preferred 2 doors) but the 4 doors really suit the car!!

Nice one!

But its 3 or 5

 

[sam83uk]

OK maybe i worded it wrong.. what i ment to say is.. for about 17grand id buy something that looks the part this focus, to the untrained eye is just another focus with a little bit extra on the looks side

No, it doesn't.

I think this is the first Ford that i have ever seen and actually really liked, and appreciated. Congrats on the purchase, bet its a hoot

.....to the untrained eye is just another focus with a little bit extra on the looks side

M3 = 3-Series with big wheels and zorst

M5 = 5-Series with big wheels and zorst

Clio Trophy = Clio with graphics

vRS Skodas = its a skoda LOL

If people and manufacturers were remotely concerned with the perceptions of the great unwashed then the above performance heros would never have existed - have a from me

 

[Sonea Fifer]

Nice colour

Tis indeed a nice colour - nice car too

Does this mean you might beat me to the pub now?

Hope your not drinking and driving there?

 

[Simon]

Hope your not drinking and driving there?

No you drink at the pub and then drive back.

You're sober on the way there

Test drove one last weekend, while its a very fun drive it suffers in my eyes on 2 counts.

Its a ford so it depreciates like a brick out of a window.
As said its a Focus at the end of the day and it looks like a focus.

Its great to drive, better than the Civic Type R IMO (as much as you can get with a scared sales man next to you) but it just never screamed buy me.

I'm now going to ruin my (limited as a non-motors regular) credibility by saying i like the C30 T5 more. It shares the engine and drive train with the ST3 but i like the styling and look more. Drive wise yeah the st3 was more "lively" but the c30 was a good and looks better in and out and isnt as "everyday" on the road.

Biggest problem is justifying £23.5K on a C30 over £19.5k on a ST3 (easy £15k for a 6/12 month old one).
