Going to on Friday morning, wondered if anyone else had yet and what opinion was

yeah and its quite a fun car, one of the salesman went on a course anr bedford on friday ( ford launch thingy, im not allowed to go on em ) and they was told to test the esp, drive to a bend at 70 and turn it, no esp the car went off the track

with esp it ALMOST went off but it was nicer to hold on at higher speeds

i drove it on the road and it was fun, not great but fun

 

zo we already have some focus st on stoc and so far their loving it

youll see around 5 or more on our stands during the year and also in march were having a rolling road which fast ford are covering

 

Driving one Thursday/Friday morning.
Be interesting.
I'll go up in the FRS and do a comparison.
Mine is due to be delivered in late Jan/early Feb.

 

Friend of mine who is very fussy and drives some very nice cars thinks his is brilliant to drive. He said it didn't feel that quick at first but now he's got used to driving a turbo and it's loosening up he's find it really good fun.

 

I drove one a couple of weeks ago, nice car, very chunky and "safe" Thought it was going to feel a lot faster but it was good fun thrashing it up and down the A34 (all within the speed limits of course).

Still not sure I like the new shape Focus, seems tons bigger than the older shape

 

Didn't know that Andy, then I don't frequent ST websites!

Yeah I'm not too struck on the looks. Just have to check it out on Friday then!

i didnt like it originally but after seeing the ST version i love it.. looks far meaner than the orginal focus.. and ive never liked the mk1 focus interior think it went backwards in the looks/layout stakes, the new one is just like the 220 and looks much more like a proper luxury car interior
