sooooooooooo i want peoples opinions of the focus ST after having a fiesta ST how does it compare?
better/ worse/ amazing
too big/fast/ crap round corners/ slow blah blah

any opinions on both cars muchosly appreciated

Ask Mark in a week lol

totally diffrent car tbh, alot faster and alot more quality. It is alot bigger aswell to drive but it feels much more of a car. I only drove it for a few days so didnt know about cornering and such but alot more quality imo

In my opinion it's a lot more dignified (if that word can be used to describe an !) and feels like it's been built to a higher standard with more thought gone into it.

The facelift ones (08 onwards) certainly have a better interior, although I myself prefer the second wave of the pre-facelifts (07/57 reg).

I'm sure dan the man will be along later as he's driven both plus does any1 know how a 200bhp fez non MR200 does against an focus st?

Fiesta alot better in the corners!

Focus is definitely thirstier

to be fair i dont really drive like a maniac all the time so probably wouldnt notice cornering etc
and yeah guessed it would be more but only really using my fiesta now as a weekend toy - have a badass M reg micra 1l for work

Dans fiesta beats a focus to 80 I believe.

Power toe weight ratios etc.

I'd rather have a fiesta - easier to park lol

Review of my focus

The fiesta is better on the twisties. The focus is still good but you can feel the extra weight. It's more of a gt type car. Great for long distance driving as it's so comfortable but if your in the mood it's still great fun on a twisty road.

For me the focus is the perfect car. Quick, refined, big enough (11&14yr kids) and a nice place to sit. Just wish it didn't have a drink problem. The fiesta is a bit more rough around the edges in terms of comfort and build quality but i'd still hapliy go back to the fiesta if i couldn't afford the focus.

my type of car will always be small fast N/A hatchback

the focus is a lot bigger and smoother drive, better on a fuel on a long motorway run than the fiesta.

power to weight it is a bit sluggish, but is very easy to get a lot of power, bigger intercooler, panel filter and a map will see 270bhp and then a full exhaust your on 300bhp no problem

cornering can be made a lot better with bilsteins or eibachs but it will never feel gokart like the fiesta

as far as a fun weekend car goes, i would choose the fiesta over a focus, but as a commuter and motorway traveller i would choose a focus

I bet a mp300 focus st is more fun than an mr200 fiesta tho?

had both, both mountune'd and if i was to buy another it would be a focus RS (mountune'd of-course)

Of course

How is the zs going Dal?
