continued................what im saying is get a focus best car ive driven for a long time, ive just got a focus st3 in black, mpg 24 average....foot down 21mpg ish so ur laughing and that engine growl is quality, build quality feels like the bmw
got rid of my bmw 330ci mtech sport for an rx8 pz ltd edition( what ever you do dont buy one serious!! £422 a year tax 15mpg!!!!!!!!!! taking it easy! in the wet its impossible just skids all over, £119 for an oil and filter change from a dealer and that needs doing every 3k miles!!! pint of oil every 2 tank fill ups which isnt long considering 15mpg, un real to drive in the dry but its england when do you ever get to do that.. not worth it)
Anyone who owns or is going to buy a focus ST...Make sure you get the MOUNTUNE upgrade will bring the car upto 266bhp and wil not void your ford warrenty...Turns the car into even more of a beast!!!!
17,000 pounds = $24,000 for the st-2??? They always confuse me on the prices. I don't know if they're talking in pounds or dollars! I still prefer my Mazdaspeed3 GT at $23k. Looks better, performs better, made in Japan quality...even though I've never driven the Focus.
the vehicle dose not comply with any us epa standards,unless ford or gm make any changes to their european breathren you will not see any of these cars in the U.S. anytime soon!!
Ford and GM have lost billions over the last few years in the US, but their European cars (Opel and Vauxhall for GM) are making billions. The quality is so much better in Europe because that's what Europeans want. Americans want Wal-Mart: cheap and shitty.
It's too bad that we don't have this car stateside. It is on a much better platform than this piece of shit (well, in comparison atleast) we currently have here. What a shame.
Can any 1 answer the question while Ford a USA company exports all its best cars to europe where i live and leaves all of its crap for the Americans are they just stupid or something?
Well Ford has many branches. This car is completely European built. Also this model focus (in video) does not pass emissions in the United States, thats why Ford hasn't brought it over (I know, like the mustang does? psh). Well, I just don't think Ford feels Americans would like his car, but thats just garbage, it would sell like hotcakes. Oh well, good news for VW and their GTI.
Wait for 284 hp RS version,İt is too hot also it is more similar to WRC car and it is more aggresive wait megane R26 or Golf R32 the main rival is coming go and beat them RS in next year
The '08 Focus has the same engine, but, slightly sportier exterior. yellojacket018 is right, they won't bring the Euro-spec Focus to North America after a couple more design cycles; so, the earliest? Most likely 2010. I mean, it's better than ever, right? I have an '06 ZX4, although I love riding in my car, I couldn't help but wanting...or dreaming for the Euro-Spec Focus; perhaps not the ST though...I'd personally perfer the RS. I'd never drive a Mazda! I hate Japanese cars!
The Volvo C30 hatch coming to North america in 08' has the same engine and transmission as the ST. Its probably the closest we'll get to owning one :/
The american focus and the euro focus use the same basic platform. The body is of course different, and the ST in europe gets the Volvo engine. Which I *REALLY* wish they would bring here.
It's BS! This is an american nameplate ( FORD) Only US ( The US) Should have Every single car that our country makes! It's only right! All these other countries get OUR cool cars. Oh well, You can buy a brittish car in america either ( at least not an affordable one)
Nice car like it orange :)
