How many Focus ST owners on here

The ST3 has a 6 cd changer

Mine doesn't. Maybe that's something they changed on the facelift though mine is a facelifted one.

I can't remember what the rear seats looked like in the ST2 that I test drove but the seats in my ST3 don't look like bucket type seats. There's 3 seatbelts too so it seems it's meant for 3 people.

Sorry I was referring to the MK2.

Ahh, I did wonder that

Maaaaan, I really really want another ST. I massively regret getting rid of mine

Clearly bought the wrong replacement then, other than the noise every now and again there's nothing I miss about mine

I've had a megane rs 250, clio 182 and a civic type r since. I think it's the power that I miss the most as I tuned it to stage 3.

When you say power do you mean massive amounts of wheel spin?

Dotted line signed upon. ST3 due in a few months.
Had a lot of fun on the test drive on various roads for over an hour. Very happy with the ride and handling.

Excellent. What spec did you go for?

Bickaxe · 16 Jul 2017 at 19:21

All of it I think. The missus had some input which is why we went Focus sized rather than Mondeo (currently have a Mazda 6).
Petrol, manual. Black style pack in Stealth Grey (considered the tangerine scream). All the extras apart from sunroof and heated steering wheel (iirc).

I think it works as a better deal than the ST2 with the same kit.

I really miss not having a sunroof on mine..

I Drive around on hot days looking at loads of other cars with there sunroof wide open and feel jealous...

Bickaxe · 16 Jul 2017 at 20:11

Thats what A/C is for. Never had a car with a sunroof so not fussed on it.

the-evaluator · 17 Jul 2017 at 08:07

I went for a sunroof on my car, not for the ventilation but for the extra light it brings into the cabin. For me the cabin is too dark but a sunroof sorts it.

The heated steering wheel is great, I bought it as the cost was minimal but it's a really nice thing to have.

You went for the black style pack - do you want tinted rear windows? That's part of the style pack but NOT part of the black style pack. Seems odd but that's how it is.

Bickaxe · 17 Jul 2017 at 11:41

Wasn't fussed on tinted windows. The demonstrator had them but it looked a bit odd to me

the-evaluator · 17 Jul 2017 at 12:11

Great, I mentioned it because I know of a couple of people who ordered the black style pack, wanted tints and didn't know the black style pack didn't include tints until they collected their car.

Bickaxe · 17 Jul 2017 at 12:56

I double checked everything including the spare wheel (which neither myself or the salesman could find info on). The model they had had one in boot.
Those liquid repair kits have use by dates. Didn't know that until it was checked on the part exchange of my 'distessed look' mazda. Expired 5 yrs ago.

the-evaluator · 17 Jul 2017 at 13:29

I was told that a spare wheel was an option that had to be ordered but when it came to entering the order they couldn't find a product code. It turns out that a space saver spare wheel is standard even when the car has got hte premium sound system with a sub under the boot floor.

Deposit paid. Car due end of Sept but we're on holiday after so don't mind if its delayed

Mine is due end of Sept too. Ordered at the end of may, so it's been a bit of a wait. Dealer informed me of a 3 week delay last week, although to me it sounds like someone didn't click the order button properly

Ordered a Tangerine Scream ST3. Went for Driver assistance pack, upgraded sound system, rear camera, and door edge protectors.

CANT WAIT

There was a factory issue resulting in a delay in Focus being built... Outwith dealer control unfortunately...
