Has anyone else seen the new Focus ST in the flesh? As they have one down at my local dealers in the bright orange. They told me that they shouldn't be showing it until the new year but apparently the cover they had on it "fell off".

Yes have seen one and driven it round the compound at my local dealer, have to say I was very dissapointed with the build quality the cloth seats are really poor. If you go for one it would need to be the 3. Have to admit that the burble from the twin exhaust is superb but would you spend close to 20K for the engine and exhaust? Sorry but another co$k up overpriced and poor build quality.

Saw one at the weekend. Had a sit in it and was very impressed to be honest. I liked the Orange before I saw it in the flesh, but it really does look amazing. If only I had 19K and could get insured!

Yeah I saw one on saturday, dealer was making no effort to hide it, I do like the orange colour now I have seen it in the flesh, I thought it was really nice to sit in, everything spaced out well inside, Going for a proper test drive in about a week or two...should be interesting

Oh and I got a quote from my insurance company for a laugh but they came back with £500!! fully comp, 23 years old 5 years no claims

Now thats a damn good price!!! Maybe wait a while for the first batch to be released if you are interested in getting one. That way there is less problems then!!!

Remembered I should have phoned my dealership to see where their Focus ST is. I saw an orange one in Basildon Ford a couple of weekends ago and thought it was gorgeous! The colour and the new mk Focus has grown on me a LOT. I'm still not tempted because if I thought the fuel economy was bad on the Fiesta ST.....

Seems like most people are impressed with what they've seen so far then.

Just a thought. Wasn't it said a little while back though that the orange ones were a limited edition and were all already sold?

No they aren't all sold - I heard they are limited edition, but the first x number will be sold for an extra £695. According to WhatCar magazine that figure will go up to £850. That's just wrong.....

Ah right, thanks for clearing that up for me. I had just been thinking that if they had all been sold then well, if I'd ordered one of those I wouldn't be too happy to hear that dealers were letting everyone have have a peak around in them.

It was going to be limited edition but now that something like 1200 have been pre ordered in orange, it would be commercially insane for Ford (but that hasnt always stopped them.. *ahem*) not to carry it on, which they have. It looks like the orange will be here to stay til 2007 then a new limited edition "for the Focus ST only" colour will be introduced.
