I'm looking after the wiring for this model.
It has some quite snazzy interior features. Surprisingly, orange seats fit in well. Some time ago, we were sure they wouldnt.
It wont have any problems when compared with Focus RS (remember that's 5 years old now!)
There is something more coming later

Well from a current ST owner im not a great fan of the new look Focus.

The Turbo engine has got to be a plus and those Recaro's do look dam good (except the colour of the seats/car LOL ) but thats all i can find to get excited about.

The plus point from my point of view is people will be buying this new Focus ST and the price of the Focus RS will drop a bit further and into my reach muhahahahahahahahaha

I doubt the price of the RS will drop much.

Cars with the RS badge fetch more.

Nice one bud-weis
It is rotten isn't it.
Absolutely bloody clown shoes!
Bring back the Cossie.
And the live axle.
And oversteer.
All this modern tat just gets me down.
I think the Ford bods must be in a methadone program or something.
You'd have thought that Borham had never existed

Agreed. But unlike you, we (Amerikans) won't ever get it
