I had the wifes car today, I thought I would see how it Handles, fuck me just throw it into corners, it just does not want to under steer, nor over steer, the ESP will flash as I assume a brake is being applied, just felt so planted for a mass market car.

Great cars.

try turning the esp off, then you'll see how good the chassis is.

i've got a mk1 2l zetec and thats fun to chuck about...even while its still on standard 10 year old 105k suspension (bar new lower arms)

If it's one you cant switch the ESP off they're horrible. They handle fantastically UNTILL the car thinks "Oh shit!" Cuts the ESP in and downs the power throwing the car off balance IMO.

Was the same with a new focus zetec s yesterday, handle great untill the esp does its job.

Yeah i think my other halfs 08 plate focus tdci handles pretty well , but i do turn off the esp being a diesel to get a good pull away you do need to control the traction yourself as the esp just kills the thing.

would like to fit some -25 spring's to it soon just for looks really as it has st wheels on it.
