FOCUS ST

[fasta]

Went to Bedford autodrome today to drive the new focus st on a number of different types of performance stages and i have got too say i thought it was incredible the amount of grip it had to offer,even in the wet.Now i know it's all tricked up with ESP etc,however,for a front wheel drive 225bhp car,i found it to be outstanding.
If you get the chance to drive one,or you know a man who can arrange for you to go out in one,do it and see what you think!
It will never be what an evo is,but i was well impressed.Oh,by the way,did i tell you that i sell 'em for a living?Joking aside i think this car will take it's current market by storm 17495.00 and 150mph,what do you think?

it would have to be the orange version for me i think it looks quite nice it will sell very well methinks if only they would do a 4x4 cossie version 8)

Spoke to 1 or 2 of the zone managers today and they can't explain either.It was,like i said a fantastic drive and yes,it would have to be orange :muhaha: :muhaha:

it was featured on fifth gear i think last week or top gear and they said it had tremendous grip probably due to the volvo involvement

It's only the engine from Volvo really,the T5 unit that is the Volvo influence,the rest i've got too say is down to the guy's at Team RS,but that's only my opinion :-)

ops: i thought volvo had something to do with the chassis too or maybe im thinking of the focus cossie that was never to be

I looks like a great package and for the price you can't go wrong

I wouldn’t mind getting behind the wheel of one to test it for myself, maybe a trip to the ford dealers is in order :muhaha:
