Some pics of the ST in Sprint Blue are available on this link. Got to say it looks much better than Molten Orange on those pictures.

If I wanted a bog standard ST2 in White, what would be the best way to get a grand knocked off the 18k price? What are the best negotiating tactics to use?

Hmm, as Ford have the new price list available for download now, it seems I would have to pay for EATC as it is not standard and pay for White. So how would I get say those for free and then an extra 500 quid off?

Go to a dealer and ask them! - the demand may outstrip supply but on the other hand times are hard and salesmen are keen to sell

[b1g_dav3]

Especially now when sales are at a low.

[Dal.]

It would seem Ford dealers have an over supply of Focus STs at the moment showing that they might not be being bought at the rate Ford imagined. If that's the case with the Fiesta ST, then wait a month or two to get better discounts I'd say.

[MarkyR]

Thanks hmm yeah I think maybe waiting would be best, but then again its cheap but then again it has the new Clio and 208 to compete with....

[FOCA]

There is never a bad time to buy an ST

Clio?

[b1g_dav3]

The Clio is good if you want to go to a track with a hatch, nothing more. I mean I'd rather take a Fiesta if honest, but the point is it's not a great daily driver.

UPDATE -

 

The fastest Fiesta to date (ST) is now in production at the Cologue plant in Germany

 

First examples should go on sale in UK  March/ April

 

ST will incorporate MyKey and SYNC

 

Recaro seats are standard for the 1st time

 

Enhanced torque vectoring control 3 - mode electronic stability control

 

180HP 290Nm

 

the 0-62 is under 7 seconds and the top speed 136mph - better than the ST170

 

UK sales are estimated at 5000, half the European production is destined for the UK

Well....... gulp......... I..... did...... it......

 

Never seen one in the flesh, never driven one, no brochures or real info bar what's on the net, but I placed my order today.

 

Fiesta ST2

Frozen White

Auto Air Con EATC

Style Pack which was free

The grey/ black interior (don't even know the trims name!)

 

No idea of the build date either but most likely I'll get it around May.

 

God I'm going to worry I've done the right thing for the next 2 months.......   but if I have           

 

Oh and I have read the car has an overboost function which kicks the power to 197bhp and I think it was 240nm of torque for a brief moment! Not sure how long or even how you use it??

 

At least the road tax is the same as my ZetecS hahahaha...

Welcome to the club, you'll not regret waiting for delivery. I've been following the new ST since concept rumours started in 2011 and after reading the reviews it sounds like its going to be a superb motor.

Only thing now, is the waiting, tick tock tick tock, I've waiting since Jan when I placed my order and I should hopefully get my hands on the steering at the beginning April, hopefully

[FOCA]

Awesome!

 

I think the overboost works in- gear (through the gears?) for upto 30secs

Thanks guy's, yeah I have no idea how the overboost works but if it's in ever gear for 30 seconds!!! Oooohh yeeeaaahhhh haha.

 

Can anyone tell me as it does say it in the price list of the website, but the car DOES come with the front quick clear windscreen and heated door mirrors as standard right?
