I'm having a test drive this Saturday back to back with the Focus ST3 also aswell as the Fiesta ST. I prefer the fiesta in terms of size, I like small cars but just want to compare performance and curiosity really of the focus ST

The focus is a bigger car which obviously means harder parking. The Fiesta is the choice I'd go for. Let us know your verdict

Totally agree with you on the parking, the focus seems massive when sat in the back looking forwards. I'm getting quite excited about the back to back test drives this will be a fab experience

I went down to Essex Ford at Dunton and drove the Blue Focus ST3 and the Molton Orange Fiesta ST2 both absolutely fantastic, both fast off the mark, focus had a proper meaty deep sound and loved the raw,I think it's more of a mans car though. I think the fiesta ST2 was a more lighter drive, felt more 'zippy' OMG that can shift also. I shall now be planning on selling my TT and over this next month to make way for the ST2 Just for a giggle I drove the little white ford Ka as I like them too and was curious about the drive of it ... oh ek my foot was right on the floor, it wouldn't go any faster clutch was high and I kept reving it up . Definately not a car for me but the driving had to be done LOL

Finally got an e-mail this morning from my local dealer to say that they've got a demonstrator ST2 in. Bearing in mind I originally went in there back in Feb to request a test drive... although the first I saw that they had a new ST in was Saturday when I was in to the parts desks picking up a new grille badge.

i did have a testdrive and priced one up and it came out at £150 a month for a frozen white ST2

but

it just didnt feel fast or torquey tbh, i felt like mine had a lot more to give, the ower band was too short, felt like my st before it had cams, i know turbo cars are different how they put the power through but it just didnt feel fun

it handled amazingly well though, i think i scared the sales girl taking corners not far off as fast as i would in mine with no trouble

We posted a few weeks ago the problem we had with screen reflection. Slowly this is being reported on more and more forums.

We tried a local wrapping company but they advised that they were unable to help as nothing they use would adhere to the vinyl of dashboard.

We looked at plasti-dip Matt black having used it on the plastic trim of my mini lights. The company said it would work but we are not the best at spraying

3 emailed a couple of leather trim companies. They suggest covering with alcantara but said its a dash out job so quoting 6-750 ouch

Finally we bought a sheet of lambs wool felt. Laid it over the dash with so far a hole for the DAB button and another for the vent over sat nav
It's cured 90% of the problem BUT due to the shape of dash and our inability to do anything artistic it looks awful lol.
is anyone else having a problem and any solutions ??
