I had a focus ST170 and was a little disappointed with it don’t get me wrong on a country lane it was fantastic, great gear box and suspension as well as the oil needle that moved the harder you drove it was nice, the problem was when i first got in it I was hoping for more, it was not that fast of the line and just never really put a smile on my face. It did the job very well but I never got in it just to drive it for driving it. I drove my type R loads just because it gave me that smile factor.
Just my thoughts
