Sat in one at the dealers. Interiors nice and the seats hug you.
The exterior is a bit mish mash of random shapes.
Decent enough car, but pricey.

Ok few pics it filthy but meh, just a few quick pics.
The seats are awesome, had a bit of a play on the way home as it was dry, performance is awesome. Although my normal car is a 1.4 so any think will feel quick, but this really comes to life when you get it up the rev range

interior really does look great with all the fighter pilot buttons.
I really cannot get on with that exterior though.
Have you seen an estate? Infinitely better from the rear.
How is the sound symposer? People.seem to think it gives a fake engine note, but all it is is a pipe that runs from the engine into the cabin, which is the same as my z4.
It means you can enjoy the sound of the engine without sounding like a chav and annoying other people with silly.exhaust noise.

No not seen an estate but a lot of people say they look really good, to me the exterior is loverly the front is a little 'plain' though.
The interior is spot on, really feels like you in a cockpit of some crazy jet
Ah didn't no thats how it worked, TBF I think it's really quite just sounds like an induction kit on any car when you get up the revs, I do think they should of gave it a nice deep exhaust note as its quite as a mouse from the out side. I appreciate some people will like this but just doesn't sit with me.
Like I say lovely cars though, I personally wouldn't pay the price ford sell them for but they are good cars

Not a fan of them. To me, it looks like Ford are trying too hard, and have went backwards. Quite tame looking compared to the previous ST.
Its a bit like a lower spec car with a cheap and nasty bolt on styling pack.

I seen an awesome looking Mondeo the other day. Was an Estate, think it was the Titanium X Sport. In bright red. Twin exhausts, massive wheels, and a nice kit. Best looking estate ive seen in a while actually.

The Mondeo Zetec S Sports are lovely, my dad used to have a black one, interior was lovely, the seats ect were suede like with red stitching, exterior was spot on to

I cannot stand the dual Information displays in the new Focus.
They don't dim enough at night even with the brightness adjuster right down, and then you have these 2 big light blue boxes catching the corner and lower part of your eye all the time.

Interior cool
Side - bland blends into the background easily
Back -ugly.
Can't see front, and don't have the urge to see it at all

meaning, in 10yrs time we will all see them as shite, no one will want them when they are aged a bit.
Mk1 Focus RS is the best one
