Hi guys. I used to own a Honda, Civic. Sold it a while ago and now i'm looking at buying a Focus because the new shape has really grown on me. The '10 ST are in the 18k range and i'm really considering one.

The thing with my honda was that I bought a basic one and ended up spending alot to achieve some power out of it. I don't want to be doing the same again so i'm after something that's gonna be fun both in straight line and corners. I'm expecting mid 13s 1/4 mile so is the ST capable or should i consider an older model so i can allocate more budget towards the modding?

 

You could always get an 07 ST for about £12k and then mod that. Have seen one or two ST's for around £8k or £9k but with about 80k miles.

You wont regret getting an ST, I love it.

Hi mate, thanks for your reply.
ST is my first choice.. just gettign a few insurance quotes now and getting the go ahead from the Mrs ( gotta keep it sweet with her LOL ).
Spotted this one
I'm not too keen on the color but it seems a reasonable price for the mileage.

 

firstly welcome to the site mate
if you don't like the colour of the car, don't get it lol and find another?

 

Hi mate,standard ST's are quite good,but get a dreamscience handheld tuner second hand for about £300 and it changes it completely,the needle on the boost gauge shoots right off the gauge with that done
