gaz6076 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Think all the new ones are diesel. The older ones have the v6 petrol in them which would be my first choice. I'm currently looking to buy a v6 cougar (basically same engine) Test drove one the other day and was really quiet ans smooth. Driven alot of the new diesel st's and wasn't impressed. Sounded and felt like I was driving a transit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate appreciate the feedback ye diesels are quite noisey and to find a petrol one is a task in it self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focus_ST-3 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 go for a low mileage st220, cheaper to buy than and st tdci and has more performance and kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSpecST Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Deffo Go For 3.0 ST220. Late as poss, max options, Performance Blue. Go for the diesel only if you are doing lots of miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmmcbl Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hello there. Funny enough i'm also about to buy an ST but the diesel. I have been offered a black 06 estate with 100k on the clock for 5k. I have seen the car and it's nearly perfect but wanted to get some feedback from "you" about any potential problems I should look for?! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
