[@paulbarclay8699]

Love it. Really indepth and varied. Probably the best review I've ever seen of the ST real world.

[@TheAutoDad]

Glad to hear it, Paul!

[@teerauchen]

Good Job. I have exactly the tested car and it was a great Review about it! Thumbs up

[@Unclekeithspaintshop.]

The best focus st diesel review I have watched 👍

[@TheYorkshiregolfbandit]

Mines coming up 3 years old next year and it’s never missed a beat! we’ve also had a stage 2 tune and it’s not a lot of money for the results given. 250plus bhp and 520nms . We came from a mk2 ST and iv never regretted it

[@TheAutoDad]

That's great to hear, I really liked it and saw the appeal. 250bhp and 520Nm is a serious figure - bet the MPG is still good on a run right??

[@TheYorkshiregolfbandit]

Mid to high 30’s and high 40’s on a long run, in fairness on the motorways it sits at 80 all day like most do, but the smiles are all day because it pulls all way through the Rev band now 😍, 0 - 60 is not much different, 1st gear unusable when planting it so it’s just to get it moving, 3rd gear onwards however is 😳😳 and the limited top speed has been removed too

[@TheAutoDad]

What did you think of the review? Let me know! :-)

[@barrypeters4659]

superb TK!

[@paulbarclay8699]

Absolutely brilliant job.

[@TheAutoDad]

Thanks a lot!

[@philmarlowe5341]

Why mention the rs and the mustang or anything else as you are supposed to be reviewing the st diesel estate. And why can’t ford make a more powerful diesel that’s on the similar level as the rs and the st petrol?

[@philmarlowe5341]

Blimey what the hell as a hot lap in bmw got to do with the st diesel estate. Surely you bring the st diesel estate to the racetrack to test the handling or something

[@lewisdoyle]

Really helpful. In the market for something like this so it was a great help.

[@TheAutoDad]

+lewisdoyle glad to have been able to help! :-)

[@chris043-q5f]

Great review, I'm torn between the petrol and this! I have read reviews that it feels faster than the 8.1 to 60 time because of the amount of torque. I shall go test drive one!

[@TheAutoDad]

+Chris W definitely test one. Diesel has a different kick and much better economy. The petrol is wild, though.

[@thetreagust462]

Very good video. I particularly liked how you went to ford dressed as ‘The Fonz’

[@TheAutoDad]

Had to fit in, right?

[@joshw4928]

Such a great fast estate car!

[@TheAutoDad]

+Josh W It certainly is, Josh!

[@ReedRoams]

Is this the manual or auto powershift?

[@TheAutoDad]

Harry Reed manual! :)

[@calebrice1128]

How come America doesn’t get cool stuff like that

[@brianfreeman8290]

I wish reviewers would compare 30-70 times instead of 0-60, as it's way more relevant.

[@Hellndegenerates]

I've used £150 of fuel in 10 days with my focus st mk 2, time for ☝

[@leejaymarsh9021]

Well I know some one got st3 diesal , and he was getimg 60-65 on motor way doing 70mph some times bit more. So you got that wrong or some thing wrong, with your car
