ST's are awsome cars , People who slate them have obviously never driven or been in one . They go really well for a STD car, are easily tunable, handle amazingly well for a front driver, sound stunning, and the inside with leather is plush.... But remember, it HAS to be orange , just looks perfect ST3 is the one to go for

I have an escos as well , and in STD form a STescos and a FST are almost identical performance wise, I just love the way the noise changes from a 5 cylinder wardle to a howl at 6k - Stu@MSD recons that 500BHP FST's are going to happen this year, on Std internals

4x4 ste nice one - i may take you up on that offer pal

If i decide to buy one it'll only be for a while until i get my new car

Central day itself bores the fook out of me, infact most fords (not all) bore the fook out of me

The main reason i still go to show's etc is to catch up with mates etc

The only difference between the the ST2 and the ST3 is..

1. Leather (Full)
2. Comes with 6 disc and not MP3 where as the ST2 has single disc MP3

The are three trim levels offered, all mechanically identical. ST1 features 18-inch alloy wheels, Recaro seats, sporty ST body styling and a pod full of extra dials. The ST2 improves on this tally with an MP3 compatible stereo, heated front screen, xenon headlamps and a stability and traction control system. The ST3 model has ten way electrically adjustable Recaro seats, full leather trim and a six-disk autochanger.

pmsl, no worries i was just thinking if you wanted to use it everyday compared with a weekend car like the Evo

I was look at Focus RS's but they are a bit expensive if they were 10k i would have had one.


On a different nore as ST's come down in money you think they will have a knock on effect with prices of RS's?

If its not got the Leather then its a ST2.

Worth about Ł1000 when you buy new to upgrade.
