I picked up my Race Red ST-3 5 door on 31 March. I had ordered a pre-facelift model back in September for December delivery, adding a Panoramic Roof to the spec. Ford changed the order to a facelift model for delivery in March. Ford honoured the original discounted price and fitted the Winter Pack and B&O free of charge. I’ve saved thousands of pounds. In the last few weeks the Panoramic Roof option has been deleted. Feel so lucky to get just what I wanted. The power fold mirrors are missing though. Apparently deleted across the whole Ford range due to the semiconductor shortage.

Hi Tim! Sunroofs are a personal preference, personally for me I can take or leave most of the time I'd leave it as it adds weight, complexity and at some point (long term ownership) mostly likely leaking Rain sensing wipers are nuisance, I stick to the old fashioned way doing it yourself; a big reason why I'm started to get a little fed up with new modern cars 👎🏼 The last I checked, you can get heated seats by specifying the 'Winter Pack' option not sure if that's still the case as Ford change their configurator more times than I've had hot dinners 🤣 I've actually got a full review coming soon where I chat more about the seats, I've since changed my view on them purely for the fact that they are much more comfortable especially for longer journeys Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts, appreciate the interaction with kind viewers like yourself 👍🏼

Then it tells me the same if a passenger gets in sitting right next to me, then it tells me the same if anyone gets in the back! Does my head in and I can't switch it off!

In basic these are, I think, the same as the AGR seats in my Focus. One question, how is the width compares with the Recaro's? I didn't fit very well, they where very narrow (back is ok, but seat is not), and that was a general complaint. It was also the only reason why I didn't buy the Fiesta ST in 2020!

Hi mate,so disappointed with this facelift. Really don’t like the front end at all. I’ve got the Azura Blue Edition, much prefer how the bonnet slopes down, front end on these is a bit higher and therefore more square looking. Headlights are ok, although I prefer the aesthetics of the ice cube look of the pre facelift. Frustrated that they’ve just blanked off the old fog light surrounds, thought they could have done some sort of air scoop as on the 128ti, missed a trick there I think.🤔Like the rear lights being slightly smoked. The seats are ok, but I still like the Recaro’s. Not a big fan of the digital dash, looks like an Audi TT I test drove a few years ago. And lastly I absolutely hate this colour, I find it very understated, coming from someone who’s last two ST’s have been orange and bright blue…..😂😂🧡💙Just so many cars on the road with the same shade of green, and one of those is a Corsa!🤮I’ve also seen Ibizas, Ka’s, Fabia’s, one of the little Toyota’s etc etc, not good. I keep seeing this green coming down the road, think it’s an ST and I’ll give them a flash, turns out it’s a poxy Corsa!🙄😂😂Sorry to be so negative, I’m absolutely gutted, not sure what I’ll be buying when I trade the Edition in whenever, may have to go back to a Beamer? 😱Sorry to ramble on. #frustrated🤬😢😂

Is it? Performance back is nearly always gone for on the ST2 anyway and apart from the LSD, it's gimmicky, the red callipers and LEDs are aesthetic only, the digital dash is very buggy according to owners on the forums. The B&O system isn't included anymore and bigger alloys are a preference rather than an upgrade. I'd say it's not much of a higher spec, more of a styling upgrade. I'd be interested to know if you've driven the 8 and if the increased torque of the 8.5 makes any difference?

@@lowfeelsblvd That's a bang-on statement, well said! I will be getting one at some point from Ford UK to test for a week so a full review will be on the cards I doubt it's noticeable as Ford will have mapped the increase all the way through the rev range instead lower down for example but that's just an educated guess from experience Thanks for watching!

Lol, didn’t realise it was you matey. Hope you’re well. I’m with you, I really don’t like this facelift at all. Makes me laugh when people say they’re “upgrading” to the 8.5. Really? 🙄😂😂I’ll be sticking with the Edition for the time being. Hope you’re still enjoying the GR.😎👍
