Thanks for the video ! When we picked up our Fiesta ST3 I didn't let the salesman tell me how to use everything lol. Some dumb people say ford is shit but our Fiesta ST has been awesome over the last 3 years or ownership..
I'm picking up my second ST3 in about 3 hours! Got my current ST3 back in 2015, black with the style pack and 19" wheels. I was, shall we say, more than annoyed with Ford when they introduced the "Black" style pack several months after I got my car! Wanted the black wheels ever since, although the silver wheels do look striking when the car is clean haha! Going for a white ST3, fully kitted with everything and the black style pack. White wouldn't have been my first choice.....but since this make ST isn't built at the factories anymore, you take what's in stock. White with the black wheels looks pretty nifty too to be fair. UK Ford dealerships are wanting to offload the old cars to make way for the new Focus coming out in August/Sept, and since my current PCP deal was nearly up I got a killer 0% deal :) Keen to see how the new Sync 3 system performs, only thing I may miss will be the ability to customise the display wallpapers like you can do in the Sync 2 system!
I've owned two of these now , and out of all the things they could have changed since 2013 ,they changed the great looking rear bumper for that black plastic one they definitely should have left it alone
unfortunately there are quite some differences between the ST3 package in the US, UK and for expample in my country. I don't have a heated steering wheel, no sunroof, cruise control isn't included, no armrest in the backseat, I can't change the ambient lighting, not even sync 3 was standard... they get all of this in the US with the ST3 package. The Sync 3 (Sony version) on itself would've cost me +€1.700 let alone if I count all the things together and the few things I can't even get, even if I wanted to. I'm very happy with my car though, but it is kinda shamefull that the differences are that big. Also knowing it only costs $24k in the US compared to €33k up here without all those things. They can get the mountune package (which we can't) and it would still be cheaper than a ST3 up here.
Just bought an st3 the other day, I originally set out to buy a 2016 st2 but it wound up being a diesel. Don't get me wrong I don't hate a diesel but probably not on an st. I wound up looking at a 2017 petrol st3 and im so glad I decided to get it, this car is amazing and it goes like fucking stink!
Hi, mine is the hatchback in the video - I ordered mine in the middle of january, and it was actually at the dealer by the end of February although i didn't collect till the beginning of march - from what i've seen, that was exceptionally quick process time for some reason - I was told it wouldn't be with me before the beginning of April, seems to vary with dealers up and down the country for some reason
Hey thank you for reply.wow you got urs very quickly,I would be so happy with that time.ur car looks lovely in film.have yiuchad any issues with it and are you still as happy as in film ?,I've ordered a white st3 powershift and actually can't wait.like you say in film I also haven't had a new car before so as you can imagine I'm going to be buzzing.i like the look of the door protectors,def a good idea.is there anything you would change if u could ? Hope you don't mind me asking the questions. Thanks again
We are hoping to do an update video in the next couple of weeks which will answer a lot of your questions, however quickly - my only regret, with it being the diesel, is that I had gone for the power shift - the manual isn't bad at all but i think the power shift would have suited the diesel engine better. My car previous (which you can see me driving at the beginning of the video) Was the Fiesta ST and the manual in that suited perfectly, probably because it was petrol. I do miss the fiesta, but as a daily driver the Focus is far better.
Very poor PDI allowing collection of a new car with exposed number plate screw heads on the estate, and yellow screw head caps over black lettering, minor but should not happen.
What a boring dull colour the stealth grey is. The rattles and squeaks I'll come in time. The diesel engine is slow Lovely looking car and reliable engine.
Hi, I checked with the owner of the ST3 Estate (Rod Wheat) and here is his reply: "in our case, that car had been on order for some time by Jacksons Ford, as it was destined to be their demonstrator. As we now know them well at Jacksons (after many years of excellent service), they agreed to sell it to us when it arrived during March (so we could beat the VED changes on 1st April). In fairness Jacksons Ford did warn us that if we ordered one normally (to our own spec.), it would probably take some months to arrive, as the estate ST's are rarer things (smaller volume sellers, one assumes) than the normal hatchback ST's. So your questioner's wait of two months may still not be quite over yet - but it is worth waiting for !"
Yeah the wife already had one last year she's got the tangerine scream one it's lovely but hers is the hatchback one she had to wait just one week. I ordered mine in Feb and the due date was march the 15th it's now April the 17th still no car I've had the log book and it's been taxed before the 1st of April. I just wish I had ordered the hatchback instead of the estate I just wanted to be different. waiting is killing me.
Thanks for the video !

I've owned two of these now , and out of all the things they could have changed since 2013 ,they changed the great looking rear bumper for that black plastic one they definitely should have left it alone

Awesome vid getting an rs after my fiesta st , but they are no quicker to 60 than a fiesta st but none the less a brilliant car

Not to sound mean but Rod needs a new phone before a new car.
can I ask a question. with regards to the estate how long did you have to wait for it. I only ask because I've been waiting over 2 months for mine.
