I general the ST170 is a good car ............... but the few problems it has had the ford monkeys havent been able to fix yet

Mine has suffered from :

Squeeky Drivers seat - now fixed

Heat Shield rattling under car - still on going ( been in garage 5 times and a total of 8 full days for this fault )

Passenger side window stopped working - now fixed

Good points :

Very good spec inside and out
Good fun to drive
Rev well
Pulls well with low down torque for a N/A engine
revs very high
fun car for every day use
