Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Yeh drive like you stole it lol but be safe of course. You need to get yourself on some twisty country roads that are relatively quiet if possible.

The Dark Knight Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 19... Passed at 17 had an old fiesta and now coming from a mk6 golf 1.4 tsi Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quite an achievement to be able to afford such cars at that age and the insurance. 2 years driving experience and a car with 200bhp on overboost is not the best idea on paper. Not judging you personally but I speak from experience. I was cruising around like I owned the place when you were 8 and I had some comeuppances for underestimating matters. No bad accidents thankfully or police involvement but over egging it lets say. I have been in a bad accident as a result of a blow out and was very lucky to walk away. I still use the power of the ST now (no point otherwise) but experience tells me there's a time and a place and never ever drive quickly when you cannot see around a corner, even with the ST's abilities. With regard to the car, the ST is fantastic. Superb pace and cornering with epic seats and engine note. It will be very tempting for you to show the local saxo man who is boss but be careful out there. Costs me £60 to fill up and does around 350 miles to a tank with a safe but heavy right foot lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 In my opinion on the turbo by the way, it is a more linear performance than anything else. You get a good punch for sure but it's not like some big hammer blow and then flat at higher revs. The power is delivered in a strong but consistent manner and pulls well right up the rev range.

Do you have the mp215? If so does this alter that flat spot? If not does anyone who has it know this?

Clarky2013 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 There are no flat spots with the mp215. Power and more power all the way up to 6000 - 6200 ish rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to afford it haha think going to be Xmas time tho. I'm a sales mans dream tho so I can see them having a "small" deal on at ford fair and getting it haha Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikhg Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Interesting, also read that mpg can be good if driven normally, thoughts? Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky2013 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I can get 42 in my mp215 driving to work but good luck driving the st normally , the boost is addictive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nath.mk7.st Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Well I think it's very good I did a run up the main roads for about 25/30 miles, drove sensibly all the way and got this. I would say tho that you won't ever want to drive like this as it's too fun haha I average mostly 35/38. But it's good to know that if I'm short one month I can bang it in 6th and get good mpg :) but like my sales man said it's good but if your worries about fuel consumption then you need to look at something else.
