Did i once hear that the ST was about the same speed around the track as the focus RS or did i dream that?

Didn't Clarkson say the RS was undrivable on British roads. I take that as a challenge so I'd have one.

He did yes, but he also drove around a corner and said that the car twitched all over the place and made a massive swerve mid-turn which infact he did himself.

The is an easy day to day car just aslong as you don't keep flooring it everywhere as it will eventually build your neck muscles up to 10x your head size (well... maybe not some people).

Around country lanes a normal focus or fiesta would probably be a little more capable as the british roads aren't very smooth and the can get a little ropey at speed around corners (not to the point of what Jezza was banging on about though).

It looks great, is limited edition... can bloody shift and is an enthusiasts car... so... get it... I am

I think it was Ford, in a press pack, who claimed the ST was quicker than the RS around their Lommel ?spelling test track in Belgium. I believe it is a tight twisty circuit, almost a karting track. Satelite Image This would suit a Fezza more than a Focus.

Yep, the spelling is correct, it's about 20 miles from where i live.

Go for it Jonesy! If i had the cash, i certainly would, but the insurence is way to high.

I think i'd rather the new Focus ST to the oldr RS. In orange it's one of the best looking cars on the road imo. Looks wise i think the ST beats the older Focus RS, the previous generation Focus does look a little dated now.

Seconded , especially 3door in Black
