The only thing i don't like about the 4.5 is all the heating and air conditioning is touch screen i struggle tuning the radio over in my mk4 😂😂

[@SamAustin]

That is a good point. It must make it difficult particularly on the move.

[@keithhedley1392]

@@SamAustin the rev counter and speedo screen looks a lot better it's a shame it could be the end of the st as we know it the last fiesta st are on sale now and think the focus will not be far behind

[@thatfocusguy]

You don’t really need to touch the controls in the 4.5,just say ‘Hello Ford’ and tell it what you want.

[@keithhedley1392]

@@thatfocusguy if it's anything like Alexa I'll stick with the mk 4 😂

Yeh I have a 2020 mk4 moutnune M330. Looked at the 4.5 and hated it. Don't like the facelift thou a friend says the lights and seats are better, but he regrets swapping in his mk4 orange fury for the 4.5. Yeh touch screen is useless when you are pushing on also they removed the overhead glasses compartment by the rear view in the 4.5 for cost cutting and what is there now looks hideous.

ST all the way, mines up at 320 bhp brilliant car mk3 as well… yeah I’ve got bolts on but with no issues.. love the ST❤️

[@SamAustin]

I love the ST also but both for me are fantastic fast fords. I am glad you are enjoying yours 👍

[@Diamus101]

My 2020 Orange fury fully loaded, guy who had the RS envied my pan roof before he sold it. Mountune M330 mapped. MK4 is a far superior car.

[@lxole6492]

it's just s sad that when i finally get to work and potentially afford to buy a ride, Ford decided to ditch the Fiesta and Focus, and worse, no ST version on the current Fiesta (mk7) for South Africa, which are the only cars i have ever truly wanted to have.

[@SamAustin]

Yes I agree. I hope something will replace these cars going forward now Ford are going in a different direction 🤔

[@thatfocusguy]

Great video,seriously thinking about changing my 4.5 for a Track Pack now

[@Masgrin1]

I did that - going to have mine begin of October 23 ... cant wait for it :D

[@schwink1470]

is it such a big difference? i am going to order one but without the track pack. i never owned a sport car and i think the standard ST would be enough. but i am not sure...

[@07acanoia]

I miss my Shadow Black Focus RS sooo much. I purchased it when it first came out (2016 model. Long story short, it's in RS heaven 😭. I hope to maybe get another one one of these days. Love the new ST's, but unfortunately the U.S. doesn't get the new model.

[@grahames9228]

Long live the ST. Unfortunately, Ford Australia does not import them any more.

[@hairyviking6047]

They don't make them anywhere any more

[@JeanSebastienLEGER]

​@@hairyviking6047 Here in Belgium, they still make them 😉

[@jaredroestoff8712]

Take the interior from the 2022 model put it in the 2017 rs then it's perfect, just think the 2022 models looks too much like the i30n hyundai

[@SamAustin]

That would be great! Although for me I had no issues with the infotainment with my MK3 2018 RS Edition. It actually worked really well for me. Perhaps I was taken back by the great driving experience maybe 😊
