I love my ST-Line to bits, even though it is lacking some crucial optional extras that I've always wanted to have fitted in a car such as the Matrix LED headlights, B&O sound system and well... maybe a mighty 280 hp 2.3L turbo 4 pot under the bonnet lol. I can only imagine how amazing the ST Edition must be. Cheers!
Or you could just upgrade to the 1.5 182 bhp, mountune to 210hp, and still enjoy 55mpg on the motorway and the imo more characterful 3 cylinder from the fiesta. I have the cornering led lights front and back and b&o on my ST-line.
5:10 My question I had is answered here. APPLE CAR PLAY ! On my way to check one out tomorrow. Really hopping I can get it. Just the selling of my fiesta ST to organized asap…
Im a huge fan of the Mk4 Focus ST, i just can't get my head around the price. I nearly bought a new Mk3 Focus ST-3 around 3 years ago and that was £22k with every option and 0% finance too, really kicking myself now. Thats the way car prices are going though.
I don’t think it’s just the Focus that has the issue - it’s every car going. I nearly bought a brand new Focus RS instead of my MK8 Fiesta ST. Now I’m really kicking myself that I didn’t 😅
Hi! Why are there two types of headlights on the Focus ST 2019 and which is better? I am reffering to MK4 pre facelift model. One is like this one in the video and another is with the DRL splitting the headlight in half and has no magnifier on the leds. Thanks.
I’m thinking about getting the new mk4.5 focus st next year. Hopefully it has all these options available. I was looking at the PDF doc and it looks like this blue is not going to be available sadly. Does anyone know if the heads up display is going to be a option?
It’s definitely not standard, it’s an extra. I’ve just brought a 21 plate Mark 4 Focus ST and it has the Performance pack, the blue paint, wireless pad and a HUD but they are all extras.
Great video, but I have a little Ford rant and it's the slow animations on Ford dashes. It bugs mes and it's a shame to see the digital dash not improving things. Even moving through the options on my non-digital mk8 fiesta st dash mini-screen is annoying, because it has to animate before I can press the button to go to the next menu item and it makes moving through the menu more cumbersome than it needs to be. You press a button because you want the car to do something, not to watch it do silly animations! Dear Ford: the animations are distracting and not necessary (unless to add a bit of theatre when changing driving modes but you'll tire of that very quickly). At least offer the ability to switch them off! In general, the all digital dash seems like a bit of wasted opportunity. Shame to see the lights haven't improved over the mk8 fiesta st too. I also get flashed because the auto high beam is so slow to react. Still looks like a great car nonetheless!
There are a nice few options there but, that’s the problem. They are options. Other cars you get most of that as standard. And let’s be honest, some of the things Ford are charging for, are also way worse than what other car brands are offering. Sync 3 is ancient. B&O is very sub par too
02:53 bless you! Agree, B&O audio is awesome
Haha thankyou! I didn’t want to subject you to hearing me sneeze 😅

Sounds like you may be due an upgrade 😍😂
@@JBCTR I absolutely am lol

My fiesta mk 8 St heated steering wheel is only heated at the 10 to 2 position.
Wasn’t just mine then!
Nice review! Sad you cannot get the new Focus or Fiesta ST in Sweden anymore...
That really is a shame 😔

The Headlights shown in this Video are the better ones 👍🏼

The HUD is standard for 2020 onwards cars

Nice review
Thanks!
Talking of chip issues did you know none of the new fiestas (mk8.5) won’t have power folding mirrors, it’s not even an option either.
That sucks, I find that really useful on my fiesta if I ever think I forgot to lock it
yeah I did hear about that! :(

Totally agree with you about the animations!
