Word Maestro Didn’t I read someone saying on here they had 1 and that driveshafts snap easy.. If it was that fun etc as u say why doesn’t brad want 1? Can’t be that fun and great and going back to interiors he says in the vid it feels very plastic in the cabin

With a car this light the 200 hp Fsi is more than enough to have lots of fun, especially with a manual. However I will say I really like that orange on the ST

Tell the owner he needs to tighten the nuts on the bolts that connect the turbo to the head. That's where this unpleasant whistling noise is coming from.

[@skilartiBelgica]

It´s because of the ´cheap´ interior you wouldn´t buy it ... i can live with that. I absolutely love my Ford Focus ST mk2 though
