Astra kicks that completely in to touch. The fronts quite bland and then the back is a mess

Looks like they've ruined the front end but hardly touched the rear at all

i think there are far too many lines and angles, plus the grille looks a bit too big.
maybe with a no. plate on the front it'll look different, but i'm just not keen.
and yeah, 5 door doesn't help

Is it true they are doing a 1.2 turbo in the new focus?

the 5 cylinder engine isn't in this. just a 2.0t ecoboost engine.
part of the reason i bought the focus st as because of the engine. now it's just the same as every other hot hatch, albeit ugly.

I dont like that at all.
I really don't understand why modern car manufacturer's make their 'performance' versions of their normal everyday cars look like big heavy tanks these days, that just looks like it weighs two ton and it looks taller than an audi q7 its like when they put a diesel engine in the top spec 'sporty' model, just wrong imo.

My god thats ugly, not helped by the fact it's 5-door but tha front is horrendous.
I was pricing up a brand new Fiesta diesel the other day and to get one anywhere near the spec of a Corsa CDTi you have to spend nearly 14k, Fords are a complete rip off.

20/20 vision over here, I think it'll look great in the flesh.

when i went to trade in the focus for a fiesta zetec s in white, it was £295 a month or £12995 13k for a fiesta with privilege discount. yeah alright
apparently this model focus won't be available in 3 door which seems quite strange, a 3 door focus st's have sold well.

I've seen far more 3 door ST's than I have 5 door. I see a couple of 3 door ST's on the way to work sometimes

Looks like a 4x4, which is a bad thing in a sporty hatchback.

IMO looks like a cross between a Leon, Impreza and a KIA, with the grill shape nicked from an aston!

Even Fords PCP deals are a rip off, we can get into that limited edition white Corsa 1.3 CDTi with all the bells and whistles for £150 a month, thes Fiesta is around £220 and it has wheel trims.
