Quick enough but not amazing. Very good alround package though and are cheap as chips atm.

Drives supercharged Tec with torque

They are totally different!

Friend has a normal 2.0 focus. Says the st170 is notably quicker, as well as slightly sharpe handling. look nice

My mate has just bought one, nice car.

Not that quick but good handling and a comfortable drive.

Good car for the money id say.

lovely comfortable cruiser. not exactly in the same league as a 172.

they are decent cars but are a bit lazy to drive if you know what i mean.

Get it done handling will be so much better then the corsa and if your sig is correct you have a 1.0 so it will be massivly quicker anyway

I was looking between a ST170 and a 172, at the time they were still going for £4-5k for a decent one with recaros etc. ended up with a 172 as could pick them up cheaper, would defo have an ST170 though, they are smart

Its already sold... For the people above saying there not quick, I've driven a few 182's and the focus was so much better to drive in every way.

Watch for rust, mine was a mess hen I got it. Huge amount of car for the money just now though.

EDIT: wait till you see what I've bought to replace it...

What he said.

i mate had one a while back with full leather recaros and it was a nice car, quick or nippy depending on what you used to, handled well and was well equiped. it reminded me of a CTR but milder in every way so its not as fast but abit less raw and easier as a day to day car.

overall wouldnt be my first choice as i would prefer something with abit more grunt(ctr, lcr etc) but if one came up at the right price i would as they are overall a good car and they are reasonably quick, just abit thirsty
