Now looking at Mondeo ST's, preferably a diesel, drove the 220 and it is quick, and an amazing interior. | |

The Focus ST 170 drives very nicely, but it is nowhere near the Corolla on power. | |

Yea it was an older one I drove, it just felt so boaring and slow compared to the Clio 172 I had at the time so I bought a type r instead (which i sold last week, zero depreciation in 15 months!) | |

I had a Type R on 02 plate an early one, company lease, basically I found it uncomfortable, hated the gearchange halfway up the dash, didn't like the looks, wasn't any quicker than my friends Clio Williams and never cracked 30mpg. | |

I thought it was the clever choice over a type r. I test drove one and it was shit, as a hot hatch not even in the same league if your after fun. | |

My mate has one and he took me out in it as I was curious, they are not fast low down or mid range, but it is quick after hitting 6k, so you would find yourself having to be revving the nuts off it just for a bit of power. Not my idea of fun. I have the 8v ne in my corsa and that's good as you don't have to rev the nuts off it for a bit of speed. | |

Gearing is wrong on the ST170, feels lazy but makes loads of noise. | |

Focus ST170's are much slower than you'd expect. | |

quote: 197ps is over 194bhp. I saw a Corolla sport pull from one of these on a dual carriageway. If the Clio weighs 1240kg and the Corolla 1180kg, and they have 180 and 190 respectively, that explains why. [Edited on 15-08-2013 by blackula] | |

197 is Ps, not Hp. | |

Focus st170 would be my choice. Practical and endless tuning. | |

Give a fuck what's quickest. What's the most fun and what drives well?? The speed difference in a straight line between some of these mentioned would not even be apparent on roads. | |

I had one of these for 2 years really good car. With exhaust and filter they are a different car and sound awesome. Join the corolla club Site they do rolling road days and meets down santa pod. Most run 6.5 seconds to 60 and 15 second. Quarters | |

Ah right thanks for the info, I have a small diesel for running about it, so just want something quite quick with lots of room for some journeys. | |

From what I have read in the past they lack decent mid range torque. Like above they did a supercharged one but I expect them to be out of your budget. The weight is the main issue so I think it will be about the same in a straight line as your B, but maybe better around corners. | |

I remember them being slower than they "should have been" if that makes sense, but always liked their trim/aesthetics better than the EP3 which seemed to be a direct competitor. | |

Can anyone tell me how quick a Corolla Sport is, the one that supposedly has 190bhp. I asked this question on a Toyota forum, in relation to my Corsa and didn't get a sensible response. |
