As a previous thread sai di was thinking of buying a focus ST. the main issue was the insurance and it were over 3 grand.

so gone for the next best option and bought a fiesta ST instead. Insurance wise £1,200 much more respectable.

here it is. a right beaut.

they are very nice to drive but can be very edgy at times.

i got that at a bargain price of 7k from a dealer with 20k on the clock with all the usual options

7k? seems quite expensive, what engine is in it? They do look alright but dont think id ever get one.

got a 2.0 petrol 150 brake which is enough in a car that size. handles brilliantly and the brakes are awesome.

class, bet itl go alright then, yours looks nice and subtle aswell. lad round my way has a really ott one in white with blue stripes and rally flaps and all sorts, yours is deffo the way to go!

Theres nothing in it really between a 1.8 sri and one of them though in a straight line. Heard they are good at handling though?

realy dont like them, ive driven 1 and it was nothing good about it... the driving position seem to be way to high and the seats realy hard.

after having a poke around kris's fez at a meet its realy put me off them

but if you like then top dolla! :doublethumbs:

£7k is a good price, your Mondeo was probably faster though.
