Drove one and was pleasantly surprised. The car has balls and is fun to drive. It’s fast and handles great and is pretty comfortable. It rides well which surprised me because of the type of car. Shifts great and it looks good.

bk138 ST the shift knob is the only part I would leave of. I like the feel of the more square shaped aluminum one. But on the door handles and especially around the boost gauge I like the carbon fibre trim a lot. I opted for the ST3 because of the seats and I’m so happy I did they are awesome

I always tell people "the focus ST does everything well except haul adults in the back seats, but it still isn't terrible at that". Dude, if you like the shifter now just wait until you feel a short shift plate. I have the FSWERKS shift plate (easiset to install) set on the 30% setting....I was amazed.

I had a 2017 ST1. It's a fun car and handles great. Postives-Great torque, love the symposer sound in the cabin, comfortable cloth seats in ST1, good shifter, great steering wheel. Negatives-Ride quality isn't the greatest. Can be very choppy at times, rattles-had one from the rear passenger side that was annoying and I could never get rid of it, rear hatch was not aligned right, some torque steer if really hammered hard. I'd never get an ST3. For that money, get a GTI. It's way better built and just as fast or faster. But I got my ST1 for under $20K......that's a ton of bang for the buck and the cloth seats are great.

I can say that the ST isnt the best choice for winter overall, however...it IS a 4-season sports car compared to a Mustang or other choices. It might not be as competent in bad weather as an RS, but its also not a $60,000-$64,000 car like those are (YES, they are in that pricerange here in Canada). The ST is a vastly more entertaining than a Corolla, and it has well deserved street cred from car enthusiasts. Overall, I don't think the ST is bad as a year-round daily. The clutch, gearbox, and ride are all great, and the Recaro seats get better with age/ break-in.

Glad I watched this. I was debating whether to get the Focus RS, but was also thinking about an ST, as it is far cheaper. While I love the more aggressive look and more power from the RS, I won't use it, I don't race, I don't really drive in a manner that would take advantage of it. So I think the ST would suit me much better and still allow me to have a little fun while giving me some comfort on my commutes to work. I was looking at 31k cheapest for the RS, I am finding 2016 ST's with 50k miles for only 12.5 online, big difference. Though I can't lie, it would be so nice to get an RS, just might be too expensive even with the inheritance I am getting. My plan was to get a new car, pay majority of it off, finance and pay off a couple thousand, get a new/used motorcycle, most likely Harley or Indian, and then use the rest to invest.

Hey haven't done enough investigation on your channel and such, but I drive very similarly to you, and at 35,000 miles my transmission fluid was burnt. So I had the dealer replace it before the warranty expired. I know the manual says it's like 75,000 miles or some shit. But if you drive it like we pretty much all do ;) I'd like to recommend you change your transmission fluid soon. I was blown away when the guy let me smell it. I'm gonna do mine again at 55k.

I'd learn to drive a stick on an old truck if you can find one. Just cause sporty cars' clutches are a bit more nuanced and easier to ruin. If you can drive a stick no problem then it's a great car. Some beginners might have a tough time dealing with driving AND shifting. But nobody is perfect when you start out. Insurance might be high if you're a young man.

Si was a much more rewarding engine to drive and the ST just had a lot more power. Both great cars. I wouldn’t mind having an Si again and I will have the new one as a press car soon

Just thoroughly look through the options and get exactly what you want. That will make you happiest longest. Since it will be your daily driver (like mine is) I suggest getting the ST3 package which has all the bells and whistles that you will enjoy on a daily basis. It's very easy to drive this transmission as well and when you get the hang of it, it's just fun to shift.

Hey man! Really appreciate your vids! I'm getting a new ST ST3 this June. Could you maybe go over the stupid interior stuff for the ST3 like Sync, interior lighting, seat movement, keyless entry? Also, thoughts on getting a 2017 (if I can find one) vs 2018? Maybe see what 2019 brings?

This would be a great first car. Has 4 doors and 5 seats so you can haul people around and have fun when it'd just you. Also when you have a full car it can still pull hard because it has enough power. I have 80 other videos on this car that should help you a lot.

Hey Gjeebs, I wanted to ask you a question on MPG, I currently have an ST3. Im averaging 20.9mpg. But I try driving normally and I try to stay out of boost when just driving. Why do you think its only at 20? Could it be the premium gas I put it? Help me out please lol i want 25 at least 😂
@Gjeebs
@Gjeebs 6 жыл бұрын
That’s really low. I would reset your mpg by holding “ok” on the steering wheel or measure it on your own to make sure it’s reading correctly. Also shift at 3k
