I have yet to read a bad word about these, enjoy!

This is on my list of possible commuter cars.

If they did a RS version, I'd be on the waiting list!

Amazing looking - liked granby's one but have a soft spot for black :ok:

Cheers guys, done my research before buying it and can't fault every review I read. Dropped the Milltek cat back to the dealers today and they are putting it on free of charge, think I am more excited than the girlfriend to pick it up Saturday lol 👍

You may need to cable tie the exhaust rubbers as the exhaust tend to swing a bit and knock against the floor

bigh221 09-09-2016 02:49 PM

Cheers bud will see what it's like when I pick it up tomorrow 👍

Hi all,

Well, picked up the new ST3 today and what can I say but WOW what a car, the response when you put your right foot down and steering is nothing short of perfect, this is one car ford have definitely got right 👍

Looks great. Good early signs that you've made a good choice!

Given I'm considering this as a commuter car, I'll be grateful to hear any updates on what it's like as a daily, including real world MPG, if you get chance.

Not a problem mate will pm you in a week or so on what it's like to live with daily, and a few stats. Early signs as said above an outstanding purchase girlfriend hasn't stop smiling lol

Really like the new motor, Ian on here 'Granby' had a beauty not so long ago I did try and get my Liz :wife: interested when he was selling but the force was too strong and she is still driving her discovery :doh:

Look forward to future updates :doubleup:

Granby 10-09-2016 11:04 PM

Agree with you 100% about the steering, it is so spot on it makes every other car feel like your driving a barge, i would recommend a stage 1 or 2 remap as it does away with the torque limiting in lower gears and really makes it more fun to drive

Good advice mate, already looking at a stage 1 👍👍👍

Or you could go for the Mountune kit (https://www.mountunestore.com/collec...er-upgrade-kit) which doesn't affect your vehicle warranty, various dealers can fit it and they all seem to charge different prices so good to shop around
