Richard's Ford Fiesta ST and Focus RS

[BossFox]

Picked this up today.

 

 

It's well specced, as you'd expect.

Sat nav, bluetooth, cruise, parking sensors, heated Recaro seats, climate control, auto lights and wipers, keyless entry and go, power folding mirrors, etc...

 

Looks a bit fish faced to me though.

 

More later... wish I could turn off the "sporty" sound generator.  They tell me you can't.

It's attached to the go pedal, so if you are in a high gear at low speed and mash the pedal you get lots of exhaust "noise" but don't actually go anywhere!

It's real and it's actually on your drive! Congrats

 

Know what you mean about the front end; there's a lot of mesh and grille there isn't there?!

It looks like a bottom feeder to me, if you know what I mean.

But that's the new Ford styling trying to incorporate an ST mesh grille and bodykit.

Indeed I do - I can see the similarity....

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

I like it, fishy mouth and all.

Very nice Richard. At least you can fully disable the electronic nanny unlike most modern hot hatches! Blue is the best colour by far! Does the ST3 have uprated Sony speakers or is it just DAB and Sat nav that's added?

I'd expect nothing less from you.

[FUBAR]

I also quite like the shape front and all! Ford stuck fairly close to the initial concept indeed! 

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

I'd expect nothing less from you.

 

It just needs some tentacles around the mouth.

I assume salmon pink wasn't a colour you could pick?

[Coops]

At least it's here...........at last, another semi-problematic purchase.

It needs to be well spec'd with all those buttons!

[LeeHarrison]

It's blue, bloody blue. Have you got bored of red now - 6 at the last count? 

 

Love it, yes the front is a bit, hmmm but those seats look fantastic.

 

Out of interest, what was the final outcome with the whole 'deal' if you don't mind me asking?

[vrsadz]

is a remap on the way

[Taylor93]

Looks good, I think the Front grill is a bit marmite.

 

but i like it.

 

gives it bit of a "lairy" look. and them seats look amazing!

[vrskeith]

Mountune!

[RichVRS777]

I really like it, front end in particular. Makes it stand out from some of the more mundane hot hatches gracing forecourts nowadays. I'd go back to a fast ford tomorrow if I had the cash so I'm going to say that's a damn good purchase sir!

[BossFox]

Mountune!

Ordered!

Two week delay.

Call it "running in" time.

Does that include blasts around a local industrial estate at 1am?

 

Isnt that the natural habitat of Fast Fords?

 

:P

Have you cut a deal on that!

[Chronicbint]

Looks fun, how does it drive?

[BilboBaggins]

And here's a red one for contrast

Not an ST obviously, but doesn't look all that 'red' to me either - more orangey?

 

This looks red to me (and an ST):

[Dark_Hero]

Glad you got it ok Richard. How was the drive home.

I agree the grille is a little fish like. Designed by the same guy that does Aston martin's right?

Did they only change the bumper in the facelift, or did they change the headlights too?

[dan4291]

I like it, and the front end! Hope ownership goes well for you.

[Ad Lav]

Lovely - looks awesome!

Don't like the centre console - too many buttons for me and too cluttered.

Bet it goes and handles really well.

I reckon it'll be sold by the time you are 40... the vRS models are sporty, these ST are lairy!
