I missed the chance to buy an original one with only about 70K KM, first owner, now all of the available ones are either 200K+ or crazy expensive (there's one going for €25K), it's hard to find a good one here in the Netherlands

This has an e-CVT, which has nothing in common with CVT. It doesn't have a belt or anything, its the same thing as in the Prius. Really Toyota needs to change the name of this gear box train, because its really confusing.

I've not long just Installed the ultima 2+ and wow what a difference it's made. I've not tried the other maps yet, but I would highly recommend if anyone is thinking of upgrading a standard rs.

Good summary as all of your videos are. Nice example of the ST too. Personally I’d take an MG ZR 160 over the ST 150. A much misunderstood and overlooked underdog from the start of this era that delivers heaps of fun, liveliness and handling in a better looking and sounding package IMO. I say that as the current owner of the latest Fiesta ST and as an owner of a ZR for over 20 years both cars from new.

I have one in frozen white. Love how they look and handle, but I just can’t get on with the seating position, like you say you sit WAY too high. Only way I can manage is the seat reclined back, then your arms are far from the wheel and gearstick. It sucks. I’m 6’2 too so it’s even worse lol. No idea what to do as there doesn’t seem to be any seat options that fit in, I’d love to get a seat that is a fair bit lower, because apart from that they’re a great daily/fun/reliable/nice looking cars, future classic I think

I always wanted one in Performance Blue when I was 18-19, just could never afford the insurance on it at the time - I got a standard ST150 as a stop gap between my Mk7.5 ST and my ordered Mk3 Focus RS at the time, I told myself I wouldn't mod it and spend money on it.... yeah that lasted all of about 5 minutes.. - they're epic little cars. I then went on to own an MR200 for a little while before I sold my Mk3 RS as a second car, it was an absolute blast running 200bhp, revving out to 7250rpm, that was truly epic - now enjoying my Mk8.5 M260 daily - can't get enough of fast Fords 😄

I had one of these in performance blue a few years back. Had a full cat back scorpion exhaust, Ram air induction kit with a cold air feed coming from the front passenger foglight housing & some H&R lowering springs.. Sounded & looked the bollocks! Not the fastest of its era, being shown up by the clio/ep3 of the time.. but good fun cars. One of the best looking "modern" fiestas I think.

Certainly a model that broke the mould. Mk3 / 4 / 5 were all quite similar in size and appearance whereas this was a drastic redesign, and they did a great job. Likewise with the Mk7 too. I always did love the boxy look of these, not too dissimilar to my Mk2 Focus RS.

@@CarFocused Yup, the Focus RS is pretty pricey so I dont expect to get one in the coming 10-15 years. And by then, they will probably be even more expensive and rare in a good condition. For now, my goal is to buy a Mondeo ST220 around my 18th birthday (December). You can get a pretty good one for 5K so that is achievable. So the RS is on the list, but it will take a long time!

Had two of these back in the day. Both drank oil from <30k miles. Loved both of them, both blue prefaclift models. Certainly needed to work them hard. Many cars later I've got a Mk7 as a toy. Mk6 certainly feels better built. On my 2014 the interior feels flimsy and I'm fighting rust which I thought was a thing of the past. As for the Mk6. Always preferred the rear lights of the prefaclift and you don't see many with side strips knocking about. Certainly don't see many with the full stripe kit.
