The ST does not come with the door protectors but does have the (wide) rear view camera.

      I've a Focus St Line X and I can't say the road noise is any loader than any other car I've driven. If anything I believe it's quitter.  Always difficult when reading comments on Facebook, for ex

      'Pop out door protectors'... Just wondered if mine count? They were a £2.60 non standard option LOL Guaranteed never to go faulty. 😀

      God I hate those things...not just a dislike either, it's a proper repulsive hatred! It's an excellent way to make sure your doors look permanently crap while avoiding the occasional, and much l

    Looking at that it doesnt show the ST-Line and not the ST. The latest brochure on Fords site shows that it is (still) not an option for the ST.

    Apologies Michael, I should have realised that we were talking about the ST and not the ST line.

    I have obviously got an earlier brochure.

    Apart from cost cutting, prices have just risen again. ST-L X 182 manual for instance is up £740 to £26, 395. The "basic" Hyundai i30N with 250ps is £25,995.

    That’s just daft, we were told to get the order in for my new Fiesta ASAP as they’re being put up in price too.

    I guessed the Fiesta would be going up also when I spotted the new Focus prices. Can't remember how many price lists there've been since I ordered mine in September 2017 - quite a lot, though!

    Edit: Just spotted it's from 11 November - quite big increases but they have added some kit.

    Don't know if that will work - it's just a download off the Ford site if not.
