Just came across your review. The production quality of your piece is superb and puts the other motoring channels I’ve been watching to shame. Very well done.
That intro is a bit too long if you'd ask me, but good review. It is a bit too expensive considering how many things you have to pay extra for. But at least it's still a good chassis!
Plan on ordering one of these in the new year. I though the rear camera was standard, shame. But glad you told us about it otherwise I wouldn't have specced the parking assist pack. Great detailed review. :)
Just come across this one. Very good and fair review. I am approaching three years ownership of the mk4 ST in orange fury (pre-facelift) so can say the ST is a very very good car. Few points, I don't know if it still an option, but I also have the pan roof, along with the BLISS (blind spot) mine has cross traffic alerts front and rear, the HUD is a must. A channel here at YT took the Mk4 to 164mph on the autobahn so I don't think it is limited to 155mph. Lastly, there are some great aftermarket tunes available from Mountune and Dreamscience. From a straightforward map through to exhausts and induction kits for the more powerful maps. I have run the M330 map from Mountune problem free and that just adds a final sparkle. Mine is mapped to 330PS and 515NM. Once again, good review.
@@AJThePlayerTH-camChannel Two totally different cars. Drove the fiesta st then drove out in the focus mk4 not this facelift and it was a no-brainer. Had my mapped ST three years this year.
@@andrewmaple9863 Two totally different cars. The fiesta is a rollerskate whereas the Focus St is an expensive long board. If you are interested check my channel out, had my mapped MK4 Focus ST coming up for three years.
I'm a Ford nut and currently drive a remapped ST-3 Mk3, but I think when I finally move on from it I will go for the Mk3 RS. Same engine as the car you've featured but has AWD. If I were to change to a newer car I think I'd go for the Hyundai i30n though. Any chance of you getting hold of a i30n and reviewing it?
My 1.5 ST Line X does the same at 28mpg (it's terrible for such small capacity), my mk4.5 arrives in two weeks, so will enjoy the additional performance at similar cost, seems a no brainer
@Norbert Lesko Previous Ford vehicles, both CV and PV have been OK, the MK4 ST 2.3 are built in Germany as I'm sure you're doubtless aware, but this vehicle has been a nightmare, a mixture of poor dealership and FoB&I communication etc also does not help matters.

I like the way how you explain the things...
Really good vid 👍

What other mountune parts did you put with the m330 ?
@@Alex-dz6xw Sorry for the lare reply. None, just a cold air filter.
@@Diamus101 great ! You dont need anything more hahaha
Great review, ours arrives in 5 weeks.
Ordered it at the start of the year but the chip shortage meant it was only built last week.
Would the new ford focus st x automatic still pop n bang??
Great video what did you like best this or the fiesta ?
Focus
@@AJThePlayerTH-camChannel thanks for what reason ?

Audio is really quiet btw
How light is the steering? I really like small nimble cars that are easy to drive when im city driving
Not sure where the mpg comes from. I've got a 2023 car, which has done just over 10k miles. i'm not getting over 27 mpg how ever it is driven??
I once got 29.9 from my M330 mapped Orange Fury 2020. 😁
Hi it looks great but does it come as a three door.
No it’s only five door
Is the sign regulation? Stranded in the st

The only competition is the type R and that is what eight grand more? Order one of these and then get the Mountune M365 fitted.
I love focus cars, but ST range is fast. Yes i can see the cost might be high
I want to buy this car in race red colour.. I hope I not gonna regret...
You'll love it. I've got the pre-facelift Mk4. Mapped.
Did you buy it? Are you happy? I'm at the same point now
@DanielMartinezBarona-cj3cq i am planning to buy it in January next year.
@@amandarussack8591 Congratulations good luck. First thing you do is replace the battery for a more powerful upgraded one.
@@Diamus101 Do you have this car?
I've had my st for 1 Year now my mpg is 28

@@b1gd312 what colour did you go for
Frost white, as its my 5th Focus ST/RS, and only had white in Fiestas previously.
@@b1gd312 class cars I had MK2 focus st then mk7 and mk8 fiesta st love a fast ford 😂
@@b1gd312 MK2 RS is the dream
I've got the MK4 pre MCA, my advice is avoid it - nothing but issues with it.
What the issues?
@@norbertlesko802 Headlights, software updates, not starting, windows rattling, poor build quality, warning lights, never ends!
@@teamtempest844 It surprised me, I was thinking the focus has better quality...

@@teamtempest844 So do you think the st models are better?
I’ve just bought this car hope you didn’t rag it 😂
Smashed the back lights out on it mate! Only joking 🙃 great car, loved it….
@@AJThePlayerTH-camChannel good times I do wonder if they go bk to Ford to be checked over after the press has had them
@@AJThePlayerTH-camChanneljust an update it’s even quicker now with a dream science map and exhaust on it 👌🏻
How much time you had to wait for it until delivery?
You can get a Golf R for the same amount of money. You would be an utter mug to fork out 37k on an ST.
yeah sure... where?
No you can’t!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Looks like SEAT, sad!
The fiesta seems a better bet to me
Fiesta is a 1.5L and in the focus its a 2.3L, not really the same..
Utterly different car. Luxury long board versus a rollerskate.
