Is the Mk3 Ford Focus ST any good? JimmyGlen Random Candid Car Review - Episode 4 !

[@lav773]

I had one 5 years ago .loved it .I picked up another one yesterday! So happy with it ..a lot of fun to drive

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Such a great package, and feel much quicker than the numbers suggest. Enjoy the new ST !

[@craigferns209]

Owned exactly the same car and colour few years ago traded her for a Mk3 RS but the ST3 was a absolute brilliant car in every way!! Loved every moment of ownership and your looks lovely also 👍👍👍 100% recommend this for any hot hatch enthusiast ❤

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Thanks for the feedback Craig! They're much much better than you would expect! Engine is really strong and front end is lovely. ST3 comes absolutely loaded too. Even the leather is top grade!

[@kris-mtb]

I want to buy one, but in estate version:)

[@shaunsnyman5107]

Cant beat the mk2 st

[@justsquaro1989]

Just got a 2017 st2. My first proper car and I love it. Would've liked the st3 but just a little over my price range still an amazing car

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

You'll thoroughly enjoy it JustQ! Have a blast in the new car :)

[@tomgouger8378]

Owned a vanilla 2006 Focus ZX4 for 5 years & wondered if Ford made a performance version since I was also a past Mustang V-8 owner but needed a more practical car that could still be fun to drive. Bought a 2017 ST1 3 months ago in Kona Blue and I love it. Mustang like power when I want it, the ability to carry more than a duffle bag and great gas mileage for the performance it has puts a smile on my face everyday.

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

They're a great car, and that says something that its enough to entertain, even after a V8 Mustang!

[@garethlewis1006]

Fair review that, torque steer, yep plenty of that on the ST 😂 (I have an ST3) I'm sure I noticed the smile on your face getting bigger as the video progressed. It's a great car for the money 👍

[@victricius6788]

Mountune roll restrictor 👍

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

I'll need to watch it back to see that smile! lol That being said, I've always seen these as totally underrated. A brilliant car for the money for sure!

[@TheRhodes76]

Really good video and lots of useful information 👍

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Thank you for that!

[@UIM_Moose]

Had a Mk2 a few years ago and loved it, despite the fact it needed a bit of work, I keep looking at getting another quick car I can drive as a daily but nothing seems to be as good value for money as the Ford Focus ST.

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Those 5-Pots were cracking cars!

[@lewisbrown51]

Another great and honest review... well done and keep going with this! Really good!

[@Benmiller69o1]

On the face-lift model the engine noise comes through the speakers. You can delete this.

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

one of the most unwelcomed features on modern cars, don't you think !

[@IsaacSteele1]

Hi there, absolutely great channel! On my r53 JCW mini 2005 I have a electric heated window, it was part of the chilli pack I believe so maybe not just fords?! Thanks

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Thanks Isaac! Have you seen the R53 video on the channel? I have a 280hp R53 track car

[@jeefy88]

Just bought a red 65 plate yesterday lovely car brother had 2 used them loads of times was time to get 1 for myself

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Enjoy! They're so underrated !

[@Carrera-gp9od]

Mazda too ( heated windscreen) They were owned by Ford too though 😂 I had one on my Mazda 3 mps I loved that car was of the most underrated hot hatches ever .

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Yeah, the Mazda MPS range were pretty cool. the 3 had a fancy viscous diff too I'm sure. Shame the early ones carried the burden of the huge tax which made them almost unsellable

[@jerrytong2209]

owned a cl7 accord euro r good cars got a fk2 civic type r now but wouldve bought a mk3 st if i couldnt get a ctr in budget

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Those FK2s are mega things. I'd probably take one over the Focus ST if I'm honest. We have another Euro R just now (blue one) and it's a brilliant car to drive

[@chr15b]

Relly enjoyed this, I see it's reserved now. :(

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Hi Chr15b, thanks for the feedback 👍 I did mention in the video how quick they sell! This one was no exception!

[@MrDJLeeE]

Brilliant cars and lovely colour which changes in different light.

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Yeah, very under rated imho. That colour is amazing, and always sells straight away.

[@MrDJLeeE]

@@JamesGlenCarSales1982 If you turn traction control off it goes into so called “sport mode”. I’ve found it puts the power down better (less skipping of the wheels. Reading around in forums others also found it better.

[@nigelbryant5932]

Beautiful looking car. Great review

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Glad you liked it! And thanks for the feedback Nigel 👍 Stephen

[@chrisjones4863]

I’ve always fancied having one of these because you can pick them up cheap nowadays but I’m always concerned about their reliability. I’ve not heard great things

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Really? We've always seen them as pretty much bomb proof? What have you read that lets them down Chris?

[@chrisjones4863]

@@JamesGlenCarSales1982 auto trader mentioned models prior to 2019 have some build quality issues, electric issues and engine etc. if it’s not entirely true then that’s good. Sometimes these magazines can go overboard

[@wakaflockaproject]

I heard they're good if it's not been modded and serviced on time​@@chrisjones4863

[@patrickhowell5578]

Ford have the copyright on the heated front screen, but i think it runs out soon.

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Yeah, thats what we thought! Great addition to any car

[@turnhousefilms5942]

I once had a Sierra with a heated front screen and went through 3 batteries in 6 years as I used it mainly for short journeys.

[@Hellndegenerates]

I've got the diesel version stage 2 with 240hp and 531nm Just had 80.5 mpg

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

That's serious MPGs!

[@Hellndegenerates]

@JamesGlenCarSales1982 Had to come off the motorway and drive in town for a while, back on the motorway I'm at 73.6 and it's creeping up again, and it's Orange 🍊 best colour.

[@jmy280]

Great review! 👍

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

Thanks for the feedback Jmy! Really appreciated 👍

[@louishill751]

Very underated car lots for your money

[@JamesGlenCarSales1982]

No so understated in this colour, but I get what you mean Louis 👍
