Nothing exciting, drove the 'rents into town so they could get some Xmas shopping done, its so smooth and the power delivery is so instant (and QUIET) compared to my tractor powered Astra. Its good on the juice too.

Also looks the tits in my eyes in the grey colour

I think its a blanking plate so it says ST170 when the 3rd brake light lights up.

Just been driving my mum's one today as the top mounts are fucked on the Clio and I always forget how chuckable and nice it is to drive. Once on boil I reckon there is hardly anything in it compared to my Clio!






Seats are so comfy and toasty

Shocked when I checked earlier and its only just done 18k miles....I've been told to put more miles on it

My friend just traded in his 1.4 clio for a 2.0 focus and he says it terrible on fuel

never understood why people on here slate the st170s so much, im guessing half those people probably havnt driven one....

my friend had one and overall it was a very good package: fast past 4k, good handling and fun to drive, also comfy though it didnt have the recaros fitted. reminded me of a CTR just less raw and not as fast.

only things i could fault it one was it wasnt really that great on fuel, i know its 170bhp engine that needs to be worked hard to get the best out of it but even driving it like a grandad it was still poor and the gearbox could of been better suited to the engine

They are boring imo, nothing exciting about them. Handle quite well, as Fords usually do.
