had my st170 for 9 yrs now and still love the reaction of other drivers who think its just a normal focus

My ST170, 75, 000 miles genuine, I am second owner, 52 plate, still kicks arse when needed.

The good old days... where cars didnt die before 6000rpm. Where not ALL cars were turbocharged and suspensions werent as stiff. Fantastic!

I know these are criticised for being underpowered and they probably do feel it when you drive one now compared to a modern hot hatch, but at least it has an engine in it that you can fully trust and that if looked after, it’ll last you a hell of a long time. I don’t think you can put the same faith into modern engines, as they’re all turbo charged, downsized, and some even 3 cylinders. I’m not slating modern engines at all, I have a MK8 Fiesta ST and I love it, but I definitely think the Duratec engines are much better for longevity than any Ecoboost.

Mine does same top speed 136 mph after 17 years and 210, 000mls 👍

I had an ST150 Fiesta in 2007, wasn't the fastest car but handled nice.
It whipped every ST170 I came up against, they're pretty slow for a hot hatch

How many kilograms st170 weight? My Mondeo Combi is around 1400, the same horse power and I think it's a little bit faster. I mean in acceleration, never tested it's top speed. But Your car sounds great in my opinion for a 4 cylinder engine. My Ford is V6 so obiously sounds good, but yours.... Some optional air filter?

Dam I miss my old st170 had 3 capri blue and 2 silver ones.capri blue was beautiful miss that so bad

[strestoration]

It did well! Although they’ll do this kind of thing they’re not really geared for it. Best on a twisty B road using all the gears & all the rev range. Loads of fun!

[Dan-roqs]

Some balancing and a lightened flywheel and I bet that’s good for 8-9k rpm.

[albertobarbu]

This car is stock 100% ? No modifications ?

[Oldsoulofficial]

You were short shifting! They love to tickle the red zone all day long! "7000+ go like hell"

[radioactivepotato]

It has a decent second gear length, gets off the line fairly well. It's pretty much downhill from there. An R53 Mini makes it look stagnant.

[tugrulacar]

The car has really strange gear ratios. 1-2-3 are too long, 4-5 too short.
But I think it is a lovely car for that years.

[essiturbo]

Please read your user manual.this car reach his v max only in the 5th gear.the 6 gear is only to save feul.

[Chapaz]

Must be something wrong with this as my st170 pulls a lot harder then this

[marvinv]

I'd really like to see a test of torque reserve, 70-120 in various gears

[mUodyGTI]

I had 4 yrs ago st170. That was the best car for reasonably price. But the chasis was in really poor condition.

[zravamrska]

a lot of fuel, you can try again with -40kg/ltr

[WlaDiSS]

How many RPM do you have on 6th gear and 130 km/h ?
