DannieT8 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi, was just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and enduring the lengthy wait for a new ST, i ordered the first week in January and have been given a 3-4 month wait which is soul destroying. General feedback suggests the wait will be worth it! Any ST owners have particularly long or short waits? Cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikemp3 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi Dannie, Does seem a long wait. I waited 6 weeks for mine. And yes, the wait is totally worth it. Hope you get it soon and enjoy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ru4hie Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think Philf1 had a similar waiting time, he finally has it now, read his topic my new st to see how much he likes it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannieT8 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks for the replys lads, hopefully i'll have no set backs like that, the bloke at Ford said every unit at the time was already alocated, meaning my car would be a fresh build not even in the factory. With the optional extras i have he predicted a mid to late March delivery, but who knows anything can happen. He did mention that due to the large demand and shortage of units there might be a second line of ST opening in the factory, how true that is, I don't know. I'm just being impatient!

Ru4hie Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Patience is a virtue my friend. Having said that I didnt have a waiting time as such for mine, bought the showroom model was ready when I wanted it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Dannie as Daniel said I waited 4 months, granted with a 2 week Christmas shut down but now I have it I am made up the car is just awesome.Just make sure you order all extras early to make sure you get them I decided too late I wanted the folding mirrors and keyless entry and missed out not that bothered now but was a bit gutted when the dealer told me I was too late. What colour and extras are you having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannieT8 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 All my extras have been ordered already so that shouldn't delay anything fingers crossed. I went for ST-2 Spirit blue paint Convenience pack with the folding mirrors and keyless Cruise control Style Pack Was debating the sat nav but thought i wouldn't use it enough for the £400 price tag! I'ma bit of an audiophile, on my test drive i didn't really turn up thehead unit much, any comments on the speaker quality? Any good for astandard set up?

Philf1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Good colour choice, blue is definitely the best in my opinion. I didn't go for the cruise as I don't do many long motorway journeys, apart from this week when I'm going down to Santa Pod. As for the stereo you get the Sony dab unit which is pretty good, I also have my iPhone hooked up via the usb for my favourite tunes. Speakers are pretty good as is the tone. If you're really choosy I guess you would say they could be improved but I'm happy enough. Anyway you wont have the stereo on for a while as the engine and exhaust are all you'll want to listen to!
