Had mine 4 1/2 yrs , hasn't missed a beat and still puts a smile on my face ... commute 350 miles a week

I agree midrange torque is more important than 0-60s in most situations that why I love diesels

Couldn't find a proper, good quality video about these cars and you just uploaded this. Perfect timing, thanks for that. Keep up with your videos they are really good.

Well done, one of the best review for that car. So much information that other channel doesn't give. Continue great work

One of the best vids i have seen on the st3 tdci .

Excellent info in this car. Looking to buy one soon, this tells me everything I need to know. Cheers Tom. 👍

Looking at buying one of these for my first car, this review has made me sold on it. Can’t wait to try and get one 🤞🏻

Love this car!!!

I have a focus zetec 1.6 tdci mk3 and even that is a hoot to drive. I prefer driving it to my wife's bmw 320d m sport f30 So the st tdci must be awesome to drive. Great review! You clearly loved it.

I remember going in one years ago I wasn't too happy with the bucket seats. That wasn't the cars fault I was fat and wearing my fat jacket meant it was too tight to fit in haha. The car handled well

4:52 it really makes you! I always want to drive relaxed, but after a few minutes it wants me to "race" other cars :D

I had the pumaspeed stage 3 and the clutch went, 278hp and 580nm, now 240hp and 513nm, Mpg 62 motorway 47 around town.

This is my hot hatch dream car and it's so difficult to find a decent one with low mileage here in South Africa

I've had mine over 3 years. It's a 2015 and the tax is 20 quid a year. It's pumaspeed stage 1 mapped to 230 bhp and when I took it to Wembley in February to see Eddie Howes class mags I was getting 58mpg. Mine is very modified.

That car is mapped look at the boost gage its going fully to 2 which only happens on a mapped st. It only goes to 2 3rds when stock. I have one btw

Rev matching that easily in a diesel? Wow, love these cars, petrol or diesel

Some day I'll get me one of dem. That said I'm happy with my 2013 cdti............................just passed me test @ 54yrs old ............just chillin.

Had the ST-3 in stealth grey with all the bells and whistles for 8yrs since new and I love it. Absolutely no issues except 1 minor recall. That being said I did notice the fuel consumption was different after the recall but it maybe in my head. In 25 when the tax goes up from 20 per year to maybe 190 I’ll be upgrading to the mean green mk4.5 petrol. I’m not into pure speed but I do like a car the looks as good in as it does out.

Fast fords always fun

If you are thinking of getting one of these, do it.. its a great car, got mine a couple of months ago, its 6 years old but drives perfectly, loads of torque quick enough for me, love it, cheap tax, cheap insurance all good 👍

I found a used st wagon, how are reliable this cars? Engine issues? Very nice car that could be used as a family car.

take both cars out on track and the petrol does not leave the diesel, If this was remapped up the the same as the petrol 250 hp, the diesel would out perform the petrol

I donno man, ive had mine a month now and im totally underwhelmed by it. I came from an old derv volvo too.

Perfect midlife crisis car, that’s all I’ve ever seen drive these

It doesn't sound good. The sound that you got is artifical and is played through the speakers to mimic the petrol engine. The sound of an engine is typical diesel traktor sound. That's why petrol ST is way better option.
