Happy New Year (2023) .... Yes I know, it's March guys but cut me some slack! For what's worth, the year so far has been a hectic blur but in a positive way in many cases
And to start off with a positive start to the year with the channel by getting the opportunity to feature my first Owner's car on the channel
The first participant, a 2006 Mk6 Ford Fiesta ST150 set off in the glorious Performance Blue paintwork sporting some tasteful modifications including a remap increasing the power from 150bp to over 180bhp accompanied with a Cobra Sport Exhaust to enhance the fun, rev happy character the car had from factory
A big thanks to the owner '@ST150_Tom' for lending the car to me this morning to show you guys why getting a Mk6 ST isn't such a bad idea considering the Fiesta after this Summer will be no longer in production!

I had the XR4 in Australia, traded for the 180 (MP215) and now have another XR4 too (for my sons first car). I wouldn’t be sad giving up the 180 for it. There’s something about that NA that just rocks imo. Love these cars. The 150 has aged so much better than the 182 cup for example too, which is a sticky plastic mess inside now

@PocketRockets Жыл бұрын
That's very interesting you saying about not missing the ST180 and I have to admit I see your point, the ST150 was nice to rev out (think it helped being re-mapped a bit too) plus newer cars are just missing most if not all driver engagement so the older I get, I just get drawn into older and/or pure driving machines The 182 wasn't great from the start, it aged the day it was made public haha! Thanks for watching Steffan! 👍🏼

I own one of those cars in Mexico, here, the ST 150 was an special edition, only 300 cars where available in 2007 as model/year 2008. I bought it in November 2022 and im very happy with it, it drives awesome, looks very great, the maintenance its cheap, doesnt drink too much ⛽, i want to keep it forever. Greetings from Mexico.

I average around 27-30mpg in my st150 and that's with having a little bit of fun too. I reckon it could easily be 35mpg+ if you are driving like a granny or going 65mph on a motorway. Not too bad for what it is in my opinion

Hello Mate, just seen this fantastic review, totally agree with you on everything. What mods did he do to get to 180? In your view, what aftermarket exhaust would you go for.
@PocketRockets 8 ай бұрын
Glad you liked the video, thanks for the kind words Dave! Looking back I don't think the car was running 180bhp as in the bracket you'll need uprated cams etc and don't think this car did. I have recently bought a track ST150, that runs a full Miltek system with exhaust manifold and I'd say that is the nicest sounding system to get. I'll be doing videos on mine at some point but won't be for a while - I have posted pictures on Instagram of the car if you fancy a look. Again, thanks for watching!

Heard of those talked about as European only model. Ford had MK6 ST shells/etc running in the Super1600 rally category which believe based on ST150’s but had to run super high rev 1.6 16v’s and rules of the time had to sell a base example via showrooms. Got many of that stuff sold Europe but not worth effort UK

I chose the 1.6tdci over the st150 personally, sure it doesn’t have the st badge but, reliable, cheap to run, can achieve upwards of 150bhp for a couple hundred pound, lower insurance group etc, tax. 124000 miles and counting still immaculate. Only thing I would have from the st to my tdci is the response of that na engine, takes a while for the turbo to come in but when it does it’s good fun

Always heard a Clio 172/182 Cup chassis wise is superior compared to other rivals of that era However, I owned a EP3 Civic Type R that I ended up race preparing (suspension, roll cage and loads of other bits) and then switched to a ST150 race prepped and personally prefer it over the EP3 i.e. more playful on the rear and of course lighter If you get a chance to drive a ST180 (Mk7) it completely trumps the ST150 in every department Luckily for me, most of the interior is gone so not a problem anymore 👍😂 Thanks for watching!
