Yeah it's just a performance box that hikes up the boost and alters a few other things... 270 bhp

You dont half talk some crap...
From Parkers
Focus ST
Length - 4337mm
Width - 2019mm
Height - 1500mm
Weight - 1392kg
09 Renault Scenic 1.5 dCi 5d
Length - 4344mm
Width - 2077mm
Height - 1637mm
Weight - 1385kg
Not far off really.
wow thats interesting stuff, wonder what the size is compared to say a 1999 Scenic, imagine if its bigger
A scenic is not a people carrier though is it.
The new turbo fords really have crap intercoolers. A remap, a decent cat back and a new intercooler has them around the 290 mark.

Mine feels shite in this weather, really doesn't like it.... I've got used to the power of it though now, so I may play around with it a bit soon..... They really do respond well to small mods.

Would a 19-20 year old person get insured on those though? No!
So they are a decent performance car for a young man/woman.
