Very nice mate, I have an 2014 ST2 in frozen white. Never had a smile off my face since I got it last month. You will be turning heads as the car has wonderful magnetism ;). Be gentle with her until you've passed 1000miles then let it rip :-)

Cheers

I've been letting rip since leaving the dealership, as long as it is up to temperature no need to drive these things slow for a while ;)

My dealer told me there's no need to run it in, just "drive it like you stole it"! I didn't push it too hard for the first 1000 miles though. Well, not that often :rolleyes:.

I took a demo st out before mine arrived and hadn't done many miles, they didn't mind me practically red lining every gear change so they cant be very bothered , after all these things are built for enjoying :P I see your from Hampshire too, had a cracking drive around the new forest some great roads and this thing flies down them!

Whenever I have seen one it's been pootling along at about 40mph. I thought you guys were all looking after them !!

I was going to say earlier that it looks like you've got a good area to drive around from your pics Tom, where I am there isn't anything like that nearby. Bit of a shame really, would like to have some good roads near me! Suppose the only downside to the new forest is all the horses roaming freely on the roads lol.

Haha yeah gotta be careful they are always on the road around a blind corner. Almost hit a damn pig earlier walking acrosd the road on the way home from work. Suicidal animals round here lol

Parking....like a boss! Once the numbers are up I feel a convoy of ST's should be arranged.

I thought it looked like New Forest in the pics, it starts only about 10-15 mins drive from me.

Bet it was a bit bumpy getting the ST in that position though wasn't it?

I have to agree with that, a convoy of ST's definitely needs to be arranged :)

I'm so thinking of trading my Zetec S in for one.

I went for a test drive in an ST two weeks after getting my Zetec S, I bet the salesman thought all his Christmases has come at once.

You wouldn't be disappointed if you did! Nothing can put a continuous smile on your face than an ST. Make sure if you do consider it get the best deal possible from your local Ford dealer. You would see an amazing difference going from ZS to ST but you'll never look back ;)

I've had mine nearly a month now and I upgraded from a Zetec 1.0 ecoboost and I'll never look back so much fun can be had in these supermini hothatch pocketrockets :P having the power but still gaining good economy when it can. I'm averaging about 35-45mpg and that's with boosting it also :) yeah if you drive it like miss daisy you could get more mpg but where's the fun in that. I'll tell you one fun thing I've learned since getting my ST2 and you will prob notice this too is that every little numpty in there limited edition 1.2 corsa always try to take you on the back roads and fast bits and I just laugh and smile as I look at them like a little dot in my rear view mirror :P fun times..

Your getting 35mpg+ your not driving your ST right ;) worst ive seen is 11 and that was pulling away from a corsa vxr , he flew up behind me on a slip road ( i was doing the speed limit btw) and wouldnt get off my !Removed! even though he had the middle and fast lane to choose from, so i dropped it into fourth and gave him something to listen to and that horrid vauxhall badge got smaller and smaller in my mirror ;)

Well I'd say 35+ with my motorway driving lol :P you left that vxr in the dust how it should be ;)but they always want to take us when we're doing the speed limit ;) I've had my share of the wee nutters in the past but after getting a better car they all show up, and in the area I live in there are a lot of idiots that think you always want a race haha but then they realise their car isn't up to a new car. :)

You lot must have something wrong with your cars, I get 43MPG and the lowest it can do is 4MPG with my foot flat on the floor in 3rd.

Efficiency ftw!

Yep, 4MPG when on full power for a few seconds.

Quite an efficiency range there, surprised to see over 40MPG on the ST.

Although I guess it depends how much of your journeys are just cruising in top.

Mostly mway averaging 60+ mph. Too early and too busy to blast it all the way to work. Not uncommon though, the 1.4 astra turbo I had as a courtesy car did 8 when floored.
