I don't have any problems with the purchase of the ST. I won't do it, so my better half tells me - she won't allow me to buy a Ford

That's due to the stupid JUMBO wheels/tyres they come with which foces a rack limiter to be added - the standard Focii don't suffer from this (and the ST wouldn't if it was sensibly spec'd on this)Originally Posted by Big Jase

Wow, same power as a Golf R.
Volkswagenist
Yeah Ant, Golf R power for less than a GTI. Good deal I think.
Spec a 6R Polo GTI up and it be the same price (or even more) than the ST. And far less enjoyable to drive .... and the ST is a MANUAL.

When you're right, your're right mate! Never thought I would actually consider anything like this. And the only paid extra are the premium paint options. Even the Recaros are standard! And Manual too.
It's looking like a total win over the new Polo and Mk6 Golf GTI. However the R's platform is just so tempting to work on!!!

The R's have their own issues .... mainly gbox ... both DSG and manual when you are chasing lots of power ..... better off buying an S3 instead.

Define "lots of power"
The price differential between an R and S3 gives you plenty of room to move in an R before you could even add anything to an S3.
The Ford has a good "young buyer" market.

A fully kitted manual Edition 35 for the price of a bare bones GTi - what's there to hate?
