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!

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

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

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
