Have you tried CarWow too?

lee1101 · 5 Feb 2016 at 10:58

Yeah, the best they could do was £17,170 for the above spec

Wow (or not), seems like DTD are offering you a good price. I spec'd up the same car on DTD and I was quoted £16300.

Me too, there's an additional discount that they put through on the phone as the Style Pack is on offer apparently. Think I will just get it ordered

Very good price. I managed to get my local dealer down to very near DTD's price this time last year (there wasnt as big a deposit contribution though this time last year, think its doubled). I got a red ST-3 , style pack, parking sensors, spare wheel for £16,460.

Ive got a test drive at my local dealer on Sunday. If they can get close to the DTD price I will happily go with them. I'd be willing to go up a few hundred to stay local

Yeh, i did the same. I prefered the idea of getting it from a place just around the corner. Whilst i knew it would be covered by Ford wherever i bought it from , you have even more clout/comeback with any problems if you can just take it back to the place you actually bought it from.

I wouldn't even say "mini", the current fiesta is almost as big as the mk1 Focus

What offset and width are those Tarmacs?

How do you find 8j if they're that?

Do it. Identical spec to what I have and that was easily a few hundred more through DTD 18 months ago.

Looks great, I can't decide whether to get the MP215 (and inevitably start adding more warranty friendly Mountune mods) or do I go to my local Ford dealer and ask about swapping my Fiesta for a Focus RS??? Only had the Fiesta for two months and I love it but the Focus RS is so tempting!

Nasher · 5 Feb 2016 at 14:18

Quite a big price difference though. The new RS is around £30k I think.

How do you lot find the ride in the ST? Seems to be the only minor negative point in all the reviews I've read.

scrivz69 · 5 Feb 2016 at 15:40

It's a little firm lol, mine is better now the bloody tire pressures are right.

It is quite hard, but then it wouldn't be so god in the corners if it wasn't

It is very hard. Harder than the other ST models. If coming from a soft motorway cruiser it will feel like a track car.

Some of the aftermarket springs take the sharp edges off the bumps, but they do lower it by about 20-30mm which can cause other issues, the car is already quite low :/
