Economy
Value
Good value for money for the performance you get, six disc cd, half leather, air con etc. Only down side is it's a group 15 insurance but you can't have everything.
Costs
Only things that let it down is the high insurance group, and the economy isn't that great. However given that it's 170bhp you can't have economy and performance.

On the road
Driving
Got to be one of the best cars I've driven, excellent grip respectable power. 6-speed box is great.
Performance
Just love it, 2.0 170bhp what's to moan about. Take it on a country road and it's a totally different car solid chassis. Able to be thrown about if you like or driven sensibly, once out in it I'm out all day. Always a pleasure to drive.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet and I hope I don't get any, been some bad reviews about the ST's, but for now it seems ok.
Image
I love the look of it, while some say it's not that different from the average Focus. It still makes all my mates jealous and turns enough heads, brilliant multispoke alloys, and that makes me more than happy with it.
Comfort
Good in front and back (not like I've sat in the back) being 6.6"" room was a must, and it's got it. Able to get people in the back still if needed. Although with it being a 3-door can be a bit of squeeze for larger people.

Security
