    That diesel ST is really nice, but you can see that the petrol version wasnt pushing full, honest draw? Na not really, just marketing

    My mates got a focus std and I’ve got a fiesta st180... It’s not even close when we both do a pull I leave him for dead. Both are standard. His huge torque advantage means exactly squat when it comes down to it.

    As an ST owner I really wish Ford would quit with the pseudo-racing/reviews of their cars and just be honest that the Diesel ST isn't going to compare to the petrol ST performance wise.

    With the right driving, any car could keep another car from overtaking in just one lap. What's with 'tv' driving, sliding etc? The chase car was gaining on the diesel in every shot. I bet it's much faster.

      chunkstar121 No mate ,all ST 3s were supposed to come with PG as standard as specified in the brochure, all of them turned up wihtout - including dealers demos etc, Ford then pushed out an announcement saying there had been an error and sneakily changed their brochure to say PG was now only available as a £450 option with 19" wheels (which you cant yet order anyway!) . total scandal. there has been some problem with PG supply I guess and they wont fess up to it.
      see focus st oc forum the thread with 56+ pages about new st arrived iirc

    Gotta love the Focus ST! Such a sweet front wheel drive car. 41 mpg ? Yeah right! Ford doesn't even advertise it at that and anyone who owns one knows it's somewhere in the 20's even when driven like a baby on the highway.

    • @armoredpig

      They're using Imperial gallons, which is 1.2 of our US gallons. Still a high estimate though.

      STredline There are guys with 42mpg average on their dashboard on some of the forums. It left me in awe as mine is at 19.5mpg, which to me is good considering I do stomp down on it daily. I'm guessing they spend most of their time on the highways as my average mpg is slowly going up as I use the highways more. I know I can get a little over 20mpg if I use my eco tune, but where's the fun in that?

    • @TheSTRedline
      @TheSTRedline 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      sk8s4aliving Yeah it's sort of strange how some people get the ST and try really hard to get great mpg. It's a car that should be driven with joy and anything around low 20's should be considered acceptable.

    • @ponygt6629
      @ponygt6629 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Miguel Pereira Yaa, agreed I still love the DT and wud take it over the GTI anyday, but since GTI is there and since its lighter and more efficient and laps faster than ST at some tracks despite having lower hp, I felt kind of VW has upped the game to Fords level,
      So it wud have been better if Ford took the lead against the GTI even if it means higher cost

    • @DevasionX

    A dumb video with a car journalist who is selling out to help promote a brand. You want to market the new diesel Focus ST? Great! Don't pretend that the diesel is somehow just as fast as the regular Focus ST just because you were able to pay off a cheap journalist to block and use dirty driving tricks to prevent the considerably faster regular Focus ST from passing. A cheap and dishonorable draw, and a loss for Ford's marketing team.
