They are superb mate, the one thing you will notice is the fuel consumption coming from the ST.
Although the cabin may not be as nice a place to sit, it is very much a great tool for the job!
Best of luck! :D
O Rly?
Umm, id sooner have yours than this one ya rodeo!
Your pisser, is being pulled, i have a 182 and wouldnt go near this personally.
As above matey, id sooner have an example with 100k and all the receipts than one with this mileage and f**k all.
There will be no dissapointment tbh.
The lack of torque is made up with the fun factor of throwing the Clio about. Focus ST's are great cars but in my opinion only "quicker" on paper.
