sussex Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I would swap my MK7 for a Focus ST if I could, no doubt about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 If I could afford the car and the insurance I would also have an ST, Golf GTI or similar so I don't blame you at all! :D Just as a matter of interest how much did you get for the PX for your mountuned Fez? And which dealers are you PXing it at? I want the mountune upgrade so might go and test drive it if it's not too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyR Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Whilst I prefer my Fiesta (it's cheap and fun), I don't understand why you have gone and brought what will be an old model in a few months time? Why not get the new Focus ST with all the new design and new interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not get the new Focus ST with all the new design and new interior. i dont think the new focus will be out till next year and then it will proberly take another year for an st model to come out, i think the new c max will be out this september Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-2912 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 You've made a sound decision I think. Also having come from a Focus ST, I miss that dreamscienced 5 cylinder engine alot!!! Without the volvo unit, I reckon the next generation of ST will be much less popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adzmcp Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 We have been told the Focus will not be released till 2011 now but early 2011. I gonna buy a Focus from my work but later in year once they pile on discounts becasue they want rid of them because new one coming out. Take the old fiesta they were amazing value when the new one came out and a weird thing happened mid last year. We was able to call customers up who bought the previous Fiesta when they were selling them off and offer them the same price for PX 6months down the line and in some cases 1 year after and that was ACTUAL values not any over allowance etc. Thats how crazy the market went last year. I looking at getting my lass a 1.6 5 door Zetec Focus in white with a few bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that the only thing autoexpress can do is BS and Photoshop, then some more BS for good measure. Then maybe some more photoshop and a little more BS..... Here is another fine example for you. Check the date on that!! The Mk7 didnt even exist back then, let alone an ST version. But look, they have already seen an RS!!! Continuing their usual formula of poo and fake pics. Then some BS and Photoshop, then some more BS for good measure. Then maybe some more photoshop and a little more BS..... Anyone noticing a patten here.... Or is it just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny87 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Here's some quotes from the Fiesta RS AutoExpress article As you can see from our exclusive images, the aggressive bodykit adds bulging wheelarches, lowered side sills and a rear spoiler to the Fiesta’s already sporty lines. Exclusive images! What a load of utter BS! The autoexpress office tea-boy has blatantly just knocked that up on photoshop! While the new Fiesta will reach dealerships in October and the ST is due in 2009 Damn! I must have missed that one then! oh well! the RS isn’t likely to arrive until 2010, with a potential price tag of around £17,000 Well that would be now then wouldn't it? and 17k? Aint that the list price for a ZS AutoExpress is basically just the biggest pile of BS that you could ever possably imagine, even worse than a dog pile.

MarkyR Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Seems the new Focus will NOT be available as a 3dr! It's possible, look at the new Subaru Impreza, a kinda estate/ hatchback cross bread. Still seems to handle rallying fine though. I would expect a 3 door though, then again the new Capri looks like a new shape 3 door Focus. Maybe that's the route the'll take? Congrats on the new car Trick you speed demon!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
