Do Not Sell My Personal Information


Finally got a ST

After owning a Fiesta for 2 years after passing my test I loved how much fun it was to drive a real go kart feel, but sadly no poke with it being a 96bhp 1.4 Petrol, so I then bought a Focus MK3 1.6 TDCi which I gladly owned and was in no rush to sell at all and only did because of a enquiry with Arnold Clark went really well, I finally bought a car I really wanted from the start and to be honest I'm quite proud of my self.聽

I'm getting around 360 miles a tank with quite a bit of spirited driving but no going over the speed limits so not bad 馃檪

I get better fuel economy out of the ST than what I did with my first Fiesta聽馃槷

Below are pictures of my old cars and now my new ST.

Nice, I can't wait to get my Fiesta ST.

Focus as nice as it is, drives like a barge compared to the Fiesta. 馃槃

Wow, mines only done 45k and I wouldn't expect much above that privately, was expecting around 拢5k for p/x!聽 I might look at Arnold Clark with a higher budget now. :biggrin:

My car was also very like for like Titanium, I just put all the parts in that I had stored in the garage to see wat they would offer because I was being given rubbish (拢4.5k one of them) so I wondered if adding the rest of the stuff would help and it did the part exes went higher.聽

Congrats, she's a beaut! Love the colour, too. It's really satisfying to work your way up to the car you want, isn't it?

I had a shorter journey to my new Ford;聽my first car was a 2002 Toyota Yaris T-Sport 1.5 (she was 12 years old when I got her, but still聽great fun to drive!), then I went straight to my 18 plate MK8 ST-Line 140PS. Can't believe the difference in comfort and performance!

RE: fuel efficiency, I've also noticed I'm having to buy a full tank around 3-4 days later than I would normally, so that's a bonus too. Am experimenting with EcoSelect mode on my latest tank of fuel - will be interesting to see if it delivers even more fuel economy. You do notice the much higher rev threshold before any kind of turbo kicks in, though. Best for when you're not overtaking or you know you're going to be taking things easy.

Anyway, congrats again!

Congratulation on getting the ST. I love mine to bits! Two years in and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Currently 7 months in with my ST, had to remove聽a bad cone filter and added some bits to personalize it a bit, absolutely love it.聽 Got any plans for this ST?聽

For now I'm keeping it as is, comes October I'll be starting small, new hoses in engine bay and braided brake lines, going for either a red colour or blue undecided at the moment, next year will be persueing more power so, uprated clutch, front mount intercooler, engine roll restrictor, stage 2 or 3 induction kit and then in for a remap
