 Ford Focus ST - Would you... - The Melting Snowman
I looked at one of these back in 2008 but a number of things put me off. The 2.5 litre 5 cylinder turbo Volvo engine drinks, as you would expect. If you enjoy the performance then it's easily possible to get less than 20 mpg. Costs of parts as it's a Volvo engine. I read on one of the Ford Forums at the time that one owner damaged the sump and it was some stupid price as it was a Volvo part, so no usual cheap Ford prices here. Also I was a bit disappointed with the fit and finish, no better than a humble Focus, the money has been spent on the chassis and oil bits. So great cars but it's won't be cheap to run. I settled on the humble 1.6 once common sense kicked in.
