Is the Mk3 Ford Focus ST any good? JimmyGlen Random Candid Car Review - Episode 4 !

Join me in Episode 4 of the JimmyGlen Random Candid Car Review series, where the guys pick out a random car from stock, for me to review - with no preparation!
This approach lets me give my honest first impression of what I think the cars like to drive. Sure, I've probably driven most before - but on autopilot! This time, I'm paying attention to all its pros and cons, then sharing them with you.
This week, the guys had me in the 2015 Mk 3 Ford Focus ST3, join me to find out what I thought!
Thanks,
Stephen

Owned exactly the same car and colour few years ago traded her for a Mk3 RS but the ST3 was a absolute brilliant car in every way!! Loved every moment of ownership and your looks lovely also 👍👍👍 100% recommend this for any hot hatch enthusiast ❤

Thanks for the feedback Craig! They're much much better than you would expect! Engine is really strong and front end is lovely. ST3 comes absolutely loaded too. Even the leather is top grade!

Owned a vanilla 2006 Focus ZX4 for 5 years & wondered if Ford made a performance version since I was also a past Mustang V-8 owner but needed a more practical car that could still be fun to drive. Bought a 2017 ST1 3 months ago in Kona Blue and I love it. Mustang like power when I want it, the ability to carry more than a duffle bag and great gas mileage for the performance it has puts a smile on my face everyday.

They're a great car, and that says something that its enough to entertain, even after a V8 Mustang!

Had a Mk2 a few years ago and loved it, despite the fact it needed a bit of work, I keep looking at getting another quick car I can drive as a daily but nothing seems to be as good value for money as the Ford Focus ST.

Brilliant cars and lovely colour which changes in different light.

@JamesGlenCarSales1982 Ай бұрын

Yeah, very under rated imho. That colour is amazing, and always sells straight away.

@@JamesGlenCarSales1982 If you turn traction control off it goes into so called “sport mode”. I’ve found it puts the power down better (less skipping of the wheels. Reading around in forums others also found it better.

Fair review that, torque steer, yep plenty of that on the ST 😂 (I have an ST3) I'm sure I noticed the smile on your face getting bigger as the video progressed. It's a great car for the money 👍

I'll need to watch it back to see that smile! lol That being said, I've always seen these as totally underrated. A brilliant car for the money for sure!

Mazda too ( heated windscreen) They were owned by Ford too though 😂 I had one on my Mazda 3 mps I loved that car was of the most underrated hot hatches ever .

@JamesGlenCarSales1982 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, the Mazda MPS range were pretty cool. the 3 had a fancy viscous diff too I'm sure. Shame the early ones carried the burden of the huge tax which made them almost unsellable

Hi there, absolutely great channel! On my r53 JCW mini 2005 I have a electric heated window, it was part of the chilli pack I believe so maybe not just fords?! Thanks

owned a cl7 accord euro r good cars got a fk2 civic type r now but wouldve bought a mk3 st if i couldnt get a ctr in budget

@JamesGlenCarSales1982 10 ай бұрын

Those FK2s are mega things. I'd probably take one over the Focus ST if I'm honest. We have another Euro R just now (blue one) and it's a brilliant car to drive

Ford have the copyright on the heated front screen, but i think it runs out soon.

Yeah, thats what we thought! Great addition to any car

I once had a Sierra with a heated front screen and went through 3 batteries in 6 years as I used it mainly for short journeys.

On the face-lift model the engine noise comes through the speakers. You can delete this.
