Don't do it kev. Escort cossie and a diesel smoker for work. That's the way you really want to spend your money!

i know mate jst dont know if i could afford a escos. running ang big repair costs knowing wot i'm like with ma big foot. was out in a st2 today for the first time at work. was chipped jst felt nice to drive and the power was good.

Coldo

Aye, ive been in a couple at work too, good motors, dunno if i'd spend the guts of 20k on a new one, you'd manage to get a good price on a 2nd hand one though.

Bubs

wouldve got it for 12 grand with 1014miles 56 plate in orange. tried to get insured for an evo 8 the other day they wanted 1600 quid. The price of second hand cars has crashed.

Bubs

anyone else got opinions on the focus st

jonnyboy

plenty of go with volvo reliability.

One of the best cars i ever owned, if you can afford the running costs i.e low 20's mpg get one. ST3 the ones to get as the leather recaros look so much better than the fabric seats

jonnyboy

on a steady run mine does over 32 mpg,
and the leather is so much nicer than the cloth

Bubs

Is there much diffrence between the st2 & 3 except the leather.

Is the fuel costs quite high how much to fill them and wot kind of miles do you get to a tank?

It felt really good to drive. Thought it wouldnt be that good due to it being fwd with that kind of power. but was totally blown with the way it handled.

jonnyboy

52 quid around my way, through the streets,local commute around 23-25 mpg.
st3 comes with leather and a six disc cd player and esp standard.
even with 300 bhp still no torque steer. i run 20's on mine but the handling on standard wheels is great.
10 k will get you a st3 really soon

Bubs

sounds good price, the one i drove was st2 when the turbo kicked in there was torque steer mind you it was a pretty damp back road.

Ive got one, and have loved every minute, its becoming an obsession now, im buying bits left right and centre for it. Should be a bit special when finished.

Dave Parker

very comfortable and easy to drive just not as manic as the escos, my son got offered an st2 with a few extras for Ł14000 quicks old trafford two weeks ago( its evans halshaw now )
