Nothing wrong with the ST, more so I needed something Glen would sit in and not complain that it was uncomfortable and bounced her around like a cork in a bottle.
It's a 1.6litre Turbo I4 6sp 150kW manual with most of the fruit (it's not the Premium model)
I would have been a shoe-in for a new Focus but the ST is stupidly expensive and the rest of the range are the 8sp auto...
...and I think the Hyundai would go better anyway. |
Shame to see your ST go - the old man's has clocked up nearly 140,000km now, my cousin just landed a white WZ ST for $13K DA, 100,000km on the clock, there's two in our family now
I had a ST Line Focus loan car with 1.5L 3 cyl turbo and 8sp auto, too expensive for what you get.
Ford is poor value for money these days.
No manual is a killer for me and the old man, we prefer changing our own gears in our small dailies.
