Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The only negative thing i can say about the ST-3 was the fuel consumption, but what do you expect from a 2.5 turbo? The noise from the exhaust will instantly put a smile on your face, then it starts popping and you'll be laughing like a naughty school kid. The interior - Such a nice place to be, no cheap plastics about and Ford really did think where every button should go, All in drivers range with no need for any stretching while driving. The exterior - Front end wise i thought it could look a lot more meaner, other than that it looks fantastic with the 18'' wheels and the twin exhaust poking out the rear.

How reliable do you find the car?

The only issue i had was after i remapped the car, had to upgrade to an RS clutch and flywheel. But that was down to me, if i kept it standard I've no doubt that the clutch would have lasted.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

In all honesty, best car i've owned - and ive had 19 in the last 10 years. Big boot, plenty of leg room in the back for passengers, nice and easy to drive with amazing comfort from the leather heated seats. it's a car i'd happily buy again.
