In the Auto Express test they averaged 38.9 mpg when the Ford Focus St could not manage 30 mpg. Got a friend who runs a Focus St and he confirms it's very thirsty and before anyone asks his is the 247bhp 2 litre car.
I can confirm that, my other car is a focus ST estate with the same engine and I normally get around 29mpg in that. With the 245 I get closer to 36-37mpg with the same driving style

Had my vrs245 for just over 2 weeks now and in that time , 4 times the steering wheel has snatched to the left, not dramatically , just for a second but so you notice. Never had any car do that before. I’m wondering if it’s a trait of the tyre profile, the actual Pirelli’s or cambers in the road. Anyone else had this happen. Cheers
Had mine 2 months and never had an issue, wonder if its camber or alignment issue?

Order confirmed on October 19th and just received an email to say its rolled off the production line, any ideas on how long it'll take to arrive and clear customs?
Metor Grey, Pan roof, Audio, keyless
That's good news, my car was built on the 7th Dec and I picked it up from the dealer on the 23rd so basically 3 weeks
I ordered my car on the 25th October, these dates are just too random

It's crazy the huge difference in lead times, there is no consistency in it.
Those you you still waiting, it's worth it

So, having ordered my car on the 25th October I picked her up from the dealer this morning, have to say, beautiful drive, really enjoying the VRS
I'm quite surprised it was as soon as it was, great Xmas present

Ordered direct with dealer in North London. Spoke to dealer week before the build week and was told it was a code 20 on the system meaning that all was on time and confirmed for wk48.
Hope he's telling the truth, I guess time will tell
Had it confirmed today, car has been built and is now awaiting shipping, hopefully not long to go now, looking forward to it

Hoping my dealer is honest but I ordered 25th Oct and had a build week of 48 which was confirmed. Should be less than a month before mine arrives.
These BW of April, may and beyond is crazy

I really don't understand this at all, mine was ordered on the 11th September and the unconfirmed build date is bloody week 20 of next year!! I'm going to have to have a word with my dealer tomorrow, genuinely feel like I'm being bumped to the back of the queue over and over again. Is that a confirmed build week?
The exact wording from the dealer is
“ The car is currently scheduled for week 48 production. If all goes to plan we would anticipate the car being available for collection early January 2018"
I hope that's right and I'm not being sold a dummy.
