You must be thinking of the RS - that's an ST.

Awesome that they do it as an estate!

Assuming it's the petrol, a 0-62 of 6.7 secs (5.7 secs with the Montune package) is pretty darn fast for a £24k estate. Silly quick in its class would perhaps have been a better phrase.

New Motor. Picked it up friday. So far super happy with it.

Lovely. Ford have the best front ends design wise in their class at the moment by far (Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo).
 
I really want a Focus ST Estate.

Are they? I encounter a grey hatchback version every few days on the D/C on the way to uni and I always manage to get away from him pretty easily. I remember the first time I encountered him I was genuinely unsure if he'd be quicker than me or not but my car seems significantly quicker, and I'm not sure I'd describe that as silly quick.

I know he's trying too, as he always gives me a quick flash of the lights before he turns off - it's turned into a bit of a ritual now :p

You've got a shed load more power and torque than even the petrol ST though.

Haha I thought this too. A supercharged Jaguar V8 vs a ST...hmmm.

Well, having seen the figures it would appear I have!

I'm kind of surprised, I thought in this age of Golf R's and 335d's it'd be a bit quicker. Still more than adequate though! :p
 
Those photos don't do that Aston interior justice at all.

Fantastic looking car, especially as it is nearly 10 years old. I would have it in silver metallic. :)
 
Congrats Nick, nearly bought a Vantage myself but there was just something about the R8 I enjoyed more, the vantage sounds better though when you remove that fuse!
 
Aston is looovely

Like the look of the ST estate too - I fancy one of these or a cupra estate in 2 or 3 years. Perfect size for me and a good usable lump of power

Sure it wasn't a diesel one mate? They are like 70bhp less i think. Look exactly the same though. ST is just a trim level now not a specific model.

No it isn't. They just do a diesel ST now as well as a petrol one. It is not a "trim level" like s-line or m-sport is.

Golf R's and 335d's are not in the same price bracket as a Focus ST. The starting RRP of a Golf R is nearly 10k more than a Focus ST and isn't a 335d almost another 10k on top of that? :p

What is different about ST that makes it 'not a trim level' in the way that S-Line 'is a trim level'?

Well, you can't apply the "ST" spec to all the engines, or even more than one (well one of each, petrol or diesel).

There is a petrol ST and a diesel ST and that it is it, and they each have their own separate trim/equipment levels (ST1,2, 3 etc).

With a BMW, can't you pretty much get a 118i m-sport, a 120d m-sport, a 120i m-sport, e.t.c.? Likewise with Audi, can't you get s line trim on pretty much any of their models/engines?
