Default Got a spin in a Focus ST last night. Nice car!

I was round at my cousins for a few beers last night and one of his mates was comin too. He's a salesman at ford so gets to take a car home every night. Well last night i couldnt believe my luck because he got the focus st home.

He took us out for a wee blast and i was quite impressed with it

it was wet and with the esp off it still managed reasonable traction. And what a note from that engine for a standard car and exhaust its quite throaty!
It was the ST2 version so it had cloth interior but the recaros are well smart and so is the sony stereo!

I like it a lot

My dad has just ordered an ST2.

we went out in one for a test drive last weekend,
i was very impressed at how it gets round corners!!
bit dissapointing in a straight line though . but then i guess it is a standard car!

overall really good! hope they make a 4x4 RS version though.
