Ford, whennnnnnnnnnnnn will this babe arrive here??? the Civic 3-dr Type R and Clio V6 are equally great as Focus ST, and I know I can't afford one, but at least let me see someone driving a Focus ST on local road, someone who appreciates this car perhaps..... fallen in love with this nice car since saw it on Top Gear, the orange unit... wow, 8 m 35 s in that freaking track is really great!!

You can get that one for 190k. And since it's a 2006 one you can knock off a couple of thousand bucks off of it. Volvo engine, 2.5litre, inline 5 that sounds amazing. Around 220bhp. Front wheel drive, 6-speeds manual blablabla.. you know... same ol' same ol'. I drive a 2.0 Focus, actually, and at times I just wish it had more power and I had more moolah so that I could get the blue XR5. Even the wife actually said she likes the XR5. But she couldn't survive on an island where everybody uses stick shift. Of course some would say that a vw gti is better or a Honda Type R is better, but whatever, I'm biased towards Ford and I'm not ashamed to admit it. :) The one in Tun Razak is an XR5, which is what ST is called in Australia.

The first generation or the second generation pre-facelift? Or is it the Focus ST? RM230k, emm......I wonder how can I afford it? Strangely, it's more expensive than the Golf GTi, I do remember reading an Autocar Asean issue with 14-hot hatch test mentioning the Focus ST is cheaper than the Golf GTi in UK... Nma, I guess it can't be helped since the ST is 2.5L, so it probably have been taxed more than the 2.0L GTi. White Jack: RS Turbo? The first generation or the second generation pre-facelift?

It was just a glance as I was driving, but the moment I saw the rims, my mind was like "SOMEBODY PLEASE SLAP ME!! TELL ME I REALLY DID SAW MY DREAM HATCH!!" Except that I'd rather have it in orange, eheheh. Btw, does anyone know whether there really are Focus ST on the road? Does that Ford showroom put the Focus ST for show only, or they really do sell the model? Yes, I am a Focus lover!! And this new Focus ST facelift looks awesome with that solid white paint and twin blue racing stripes!! Btw Paul, what abt Golf GTi's time for the Nordschleife? Is it really slower than Focus ST's time, or it never lapped that track? maknyer said,
