My Focus is insurance group 15. I pay £430, 26 yr old with 8 years no claims!


Take it you have an ST170 then ?


Yip! Not the quickest but I have always bought fords and I love the look of the car.  Wink


Good car the ST170, handles very well but just lacks the true punch of a real hot hatch like the RS.


Which was out of my price range! Ford seem to have lost the knack of making punchy performance cars. The new Focus ST220 is a 2.5 turbo (I think) and only has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds, which is probably going to be the slowest in the class.

On a random note, after almost 3 months of driving, I have found the traction control button! (Not that it is ever used! No fun there!)

The ST range is susposed to be the ' affordable ' performance range like the XR2i, XR3i etc... £19,000 for Focus ST and £13,500 for Fiesta ST!

There is a new Focus RS in the pipeline though with 300 bhp  :shock:
