What is the difference in options on the ST170, comfort pack, custom pack etc, as the value seems to differ with each but im not sure what difference they actually are???? can anyone shed some light on this

 

My sis has the ST170 comfort pack

you get a amp, sub, aircon etc..

still a boring car though

 

so is the comfort pack the custom pack upgraded,, why do you say its boring i like it!!

 

I personally think its a very boring car to drive mate. looks nice. built quality is great - just very boring

 

maybe u should get some driving lessons!!

how can i car with a chassis like the focus be boring!?

ive drove one and i loved it, that wasnt even driving it properly, i.e reving it how it should be.

 

I find it really boring to drive mate. Took it out for a whole day - motorways, a roads, little country roads - and driving it like it should be driven!

but I found it boring! Sorry!

 

maybe it hasnt loosened up yet,, i have driven focus's but not the st170, but i really like it and you can pick them up and a fairly good price, they seem to be coming down in price now thought dont you think

 

perhaps people find it boring because it's composed and has a bit of body roll.......i speak to loads of people who think certain cars handle poorly just because they aren't rock hard and on the floor, regardless of the amount of mechanical grip they have

 

Comfort pack is

EATC
Heated screen
Xenon lights

Custom pack is

Full black leather Recaro interior and sub and amp in boot

 

my sis got her 53 plate one for 13500 i think. cant rmeember how many miles its done - but not a lot!

I hate the ABS on it too!

 

you can pick a 52-53 reg with low miles for around the 9k mark now!!!

 

10 year bump lol, Been going through all my paperwork and came accross original paperwork from the dealer that used mine as demonstrator at essex ford, they ordered mine with both comfort & custom packs and all of the factory extra options to show customers who were looking to buy, was pretty pleased when I found that out as not seen another with that spec yet on ebay or forums

 

bumped as I was asked to point this thread out

 

can the xenon bulbs be retro fitted? what would be required?
Cheers

you need the headlamps as they have special lenses as well as ballasts, however some aftermarket kits can be retro fitted with success on st170s as they have a projector style bulb recess but will not be of fords OE quiality, bulbs alone wont work and hid kits on non projector lights fail for many reasons like light scattering

 

9k lol. The prices have drop a bit lol.

 

yeah since 2005 they have glenn

 

Defo. There are some on ebay going for 2.5ks.

I think for over a grand there a bargain car.

 

theres a few north of 3k at moment on ebay and I was offered 2.8 for mine at christmas, will have to be a good offer over 3k to part with mine as still not seen any other 170 with my spec
