Hi Guys,

im affraid to say im trading in the Fiesta for a Focus ST, only got one week left with mine now going to be very sad to see it go!

Test drove the Focus yesterday and fell in love!

Will still be snooping in on the forums ha!

Tom

Congrats on the new car. You will love it and the 5 pot growl will get you into trouble

Get some pics up when you get it and if you can a few of your fez next to your new focus

ha i cant wait to get it unforunately i dont think il have them together
i want to give my fiesta a good clean and take some last pics of it before we have to go our seperate ways tho!

I will post pics of both

i may take that step one day

which focus is it, eg st-2 st-3?, congrats anyway

i nearly took that step last month but wimped out, didnt think i was gaining too much to get in finance for but we all have different opinions

i wanted a focus st but couldnt quite stretch from just over 9000 to 14000 for it

i would love a focus ST one day. im jealous!

Good progression from a fiesta

got a ST2, Sea Grey cant wait, although was driving my fiesta last night and was thinking what a good car it is! sure il be loving the Focus tho !

Sea Grey

Good choice!

Very nice

Jealous.com!

I´m aiming for a !

what colour rs are you aiming for? I'd love a white one

Baby pink i would guess??

Just a quick update...

Got the Focus a day early so picked it up yesterday, so managed to take it for a good spin out last night... unbelieveable ha

The grunt this thing makes is awesome, and just a bit smoother than the fiesta. Also managed to get the MPG to 29.6 that included a bit of booting and 6th gear

I'll try to get some pics up soon ...I've fallen in love ha

Nice one

Good news buddy

No no no....second

but 2nd has a torque limiter. 3rd and 4th are the best in the focus

I did have a bit of a surprise the other day
Sat at 40mph, dropped to second to overtake, couldn't believe how quick the turbo spooled up and we were off, changed to third and pulled in, looked at speedo, baalllllls braaaaaaake

When you have been driving a van for a few days, can take me by surprise a bit

i find that if i havn't driven for a few days.

Nice one

That's some good mpg for that stuff I believe. Did you get any pics going yet ?!

she got her first clean last night and took some pics, i will put them up tonight ! i love it ha.

well my technique to keep it down is ..1st > 2nd > 5/6th can do 30mph easy in 6th, does that use more fuel? or less than 5th or 4th say? as it might have to try harder to keep to a low speed?

It won't use more fuel, just make sure your not putting too much stress on the engine, if it's struggling change down a gear

cool, well goes alright to be honest, not as if it seems to be struggling, great to have another gear to conserve some fuel does drink more than the fiesta obvs, still cant work out which is more fun, need some more time with the Focus

Pictures yet?

i tend to keep the revs around 2k. Managed 33.6 mpg today over a 432 mile, 9 hour journy. Not to bad if you keep it at 70
