alexp999 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Pleased to say that in the coming months I should officially be able to join Stoney's so called jammy beggars club! :P I have ordered a new 2015 Mk3.5 Focus ST-3 2.0 EcoBoost in Deep Impact Blue, with: Rear Privacy Glass Heated Steering Wheel Premium Nav with Sony Speakers & Sub. Rear View Camera Driver Assistance Pack It is a factory order, so I do have a bit of a wait, the car is currently scheduled for an unspecified September build, but reading about the delays with the ST (particularly ST-3), hopefully I will get it before my car is 1 yr old and needs taxing and servicing, at least before Christmas! As some of you will know, I was incredibly frustrated with the apparent "design-intent" of the 1.5 EcoBoost I bought last year, so much so I have dubbed it the EcoRattle. After months of trying to get the issue resolved, I have managed to come to an agreeable resolution for changing the car, as I just cannot live with the turbo rattle. I'm still going to loose out a bit financially, but at least I am getting an upgrade out of it. Test drove one a few weeks ago, and now I can't wait to get my own :D Should look like this: https://youtu.be/RUIwO11kV34 Updates Arrived at dealers: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/73233-new-2015-mk35-st-ordered-goodbye-ecorattle/?p=533167 Collection day: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/73233-alexp999s-mk35-focus-st-3-ecoboost/?p=533876 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevP Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Nice choice there Alex. Just a waiting game now. Keep an ear out for any noises myself still. Shame they don't do the magnetic metallic colour on the ST :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think we need some special t-shirts made up. I remember thinking (may have even posted) when you said about yours, that it was basically what I would order, lol. Shame I have to take the EcoRattle to Ford Fair this year, oh well, there is always next year :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayo10uk Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Petrol is the way forward 250psi ! I've got the diesel, now with 6k on the clock. Initially I was disappointed but it's opening up now and feels better to drive ! Plus bluefin have a remap, mapping too 220psi. So on my next ST in December I'll get it mapped then! ETA of December! Alex that's a long way off ! Your get it by end of September no doubt. I'll be ordering my new model beginning of October.

chrisroberson99 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sounds lovely Alex! I'm sure you'll love it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Nice one Alex :), great colour , looks great when clean, keeping it clean is worse than Black/White, IMHO, I gave my dealer rep some harsh words last week when I popped in, shows every spec of dust, and every wash must be followed by shammy dry and polish, in my area with crappy water. haha. I'm sure you will love it though, especially the heated steering :) feel's sooooooooooo nice :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gezzs Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Nice car. I was seriously tempted to go for an ST3, but I would have needed the estate, which spoils the look. Good choice of colour, although I've seen dozens of Fords in DIB since ordering mine :S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
