2002 Ford Focus ST170 review from UK and Ireland
"BUY IT!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty alarm system from date of purchase... often when there are high winds.
Water in front passenger foot-well after heavy rainfall.
Both may be linked to air intake fault?... any ideas?
GREAT HANDLING!!! A 45 minute drive to work in this baby is worth getting up for.
A pleasure to drive!! Keep your Porsche, Type-R or Evo.
When you pay under 6k for a Ford ST 170 52 reg, with only 52000 miles on the clock, it makes me laugh when I read comparisons against the above.
General comments?
The stiffer suspension gives a more sporty ride, but not so good with the speed humps popping up on every road I drive in the south east.
Buy this car!! After all is said and done it's cheap on parts, great fun and spoken about in the same breath as a Porsche!!
