Alexp999's Mk3.5 Focus St-3 Ecoboost

Pleased to say that in the coming months I should officially be able to join Stoney's so called jammy beggars club! :P

I have ordered a new 2015 Mk3.5 Focus ST-3 2.0 EcoBoost in Deep Impact Blue, with:

  • Rear Privacy Glass
  • Heated Steering Wheel
  • Premium Nav with Sony Speakers & Sub.
  • Rear View Camera
  • Driver Assistance Pack

It is a factory order, so I do have a bit of a wait, the car is currently scheduled for an unspecified September build, but reading about the delays with the ST (particularly ST-3), hopefully I will get it before my car is 1 yr old and needs taxing and servicing, at least before Christmas!

As some of you will know, I was incredibly frustrated with the apparent "design-intent" of the 1.5 EcoBoost I bought last year, so much so I have dubbed it the EcoRattle. After months of trying to get the issue resolved, I have managed to come to an agreeable resolution for changing the car, as I just cannot live with the turbo rattle.

I'm still going to loose out a bit financially, but at least I am getting an upgrade out of it. Test drove one a few weeks ago, and now I can't wait to get my own :D

Should look like this:

Nice choice there Alex. Just a waiting game now. Keep an ear out for any noises myself still.

Shame they don't do the magnetic metallic colour on the ST :(

I think we need some special t-shirts made up.

I remember thinking (may have even posted) when you said about yours, that it was basically what I would order, lol.

Shame I have to take the EcoRattle to Ford Fair this year, oh well, there is always next year :D

Petrol is the way forward 250psi !

I've got the diesel, now with 6k on the clock. Initially I was disappointed but it's opening up now and feels better to drive ! Plus bluefin have a remap, mapping too 220psi. So on my next ST in December I'll get it mapped then!

ETA of December! Alex that's a long way off ! Your get it by end of September no doubt. I'll be ordering my new model beginning of October.

Nice one Alex :), great colour , looks great when clean, keeping it clean is worse than Black/White, IMHO, I gave my dealer rep some harsh words last week when I popped in, shows every spec of dust, and every wash must be followed by shammy dry and polish, in my area with crappy water. haha.

I'm sure you will love it though, especially the heated steering :) feel's sooooooooooo nice :)

I honestly reckon it's the most striking colour available on the Focus.

Nice car. I was seriously tempted to go for an ST3, but I would have needed the estate, which spoils the look. Good choice of colour, although I've seen dozens of Fords in DIB since ordering mine :S
