    New TDCi Focus SPORT

    Nothing really that great, but as my company will be moving to Diesel only cars soon, I guess I will end up with something like this.

    Just wish they fitted the ST170 suspension.

    But I think it comes with ST170 interior.






    Just a little photoshop effect.

      Yes it does have the ST170 interior, I've been investigating getting one of these for a couple of months now as my Fiesta is up for replacment.

      It has the 115ps high power diesel engine and having been in a friends one I know that through 3rd 4th and 5th it is fecking rapid, I'm just a bit concerned about the pull away in 1st and 2nd. Currently it is a battle between one of these and the SportKA. I wanted an RS Turbo but I can't be bothered with searching for one anymore.

      Are you sure it doesn't have the ST170 suspension? I thought it did. The adverts claim it has tweaked up suspension. That's a real negative if it hasn't.

          I drove one of these TDCI engines (albeit in a 4 door Ghia X) and the pull in any gear is impressive.
          The overboost is limited in 1st and 2nd to avoid wheelspin, which probably explains why it feels less lively in these gears.

              Well, looking at the picture it certainly looks too high to have ST170 suspension, probably got Zetec which is already supposedly tweaked.

                  oh, anything, there is also a Bluefin superchip out for it too, which adds around 20bhp. NICE

                      great cars these. quiet for a diesel too. It's got the Stability control from the ST170 hasn't it? I was sure that was on the spec list.

                          I've got the 115 bhp focus tdci, pulls really strong, can tow my trailer with mini on the back (combined weight over over 1200kgs) at 110mph
