So normal wear and tear happens with every car, part of owning a car 😂 pointless video

Question if anyone can answer it, the one I am looking at is the Toyota Corolla 2019 HYBRID TS 2.0 HSD EXECUTIVE PLUS . it seems everyone says the 20.0 ltr verions have the 180 ish BHP engine the add I am looking at, seems to incicate its 152 bhp is that some miss print or what, its missleading for my head ..

I would recommend educating yourself about CVT planetary gears from Toyota. They have nothing to do with traditional belt-driven CVTs.

So I've had my rs mk3 nearly 2 weeks. I love it , however I do feel like it needs that little tweak, especially coming from a mk2 st that was modded. I've not long just Installed the ultima 2+ and wow what a difference it's made. I've not tried the other maps yet, but I would highly recommend if anyone is thinking of upgrading a standard rs.

Thanks Gary very helpful

Good are 4 year old one's just as good now.

i think Lanoguard is about £70 odd Quid, i'd rather just Scrape the rust off and Spray it with Hammerite or something

Great video it's nice to look back at the older cars.

now i understand that middle age crisis

I have a fairly old Caterham X-flow with 160hp and have been lucky enough to drive it around the UK, across Europe and even across the U.S. from Houston, Texas to San Francisco and including Las Vegas and a lot of places in between. It's now over thirty years old and even now I can go out to get some petrol and come home hours later after filling up and having less petrol than I started with!!

I'm 70 in a few weeks love to get mine out always puts a smile on my face makes me feel great

Good summary as all of your videos are. Nice example of the ST too. Personally I’d take an MG ZR 160 over the ST 150. A much misunderstood and overlooked underdog from the start of this era that delivers heaps of fun, liveliness and handling in a better looking and sounding package IMO. I say that as the current owner of the latest Fiesta ST and as an owner of a ZR for over 20 years both cars from new.

Great upload, but I have to say for me personally its AWD for the win. I could never go back to two wheel drive.

On the plus side i bought a Scirocco R fully optioned 2 years old for £22.7k 7 years ago and sold it this week for £18000😂

Always loved the oem wheels in silver

Are you sure thats an ST and not a fiests thats been made to look like an ST as ST's do not have 5 speed gearbox they have 6 speed as a mate of mine had an ST and it was 6 Speed

Wife had one, induction kit, exhaust and a remap and they really open up. 😊

I have one in frozen white. Love how they look and handle, but I just can’t get on with the seating position, like you say you sit WAY too high. Only way I can manage is the seat reclined back, then your arms are far from the wheel and gearstick. It sucks. I’m 6’2 too so it’s even worse lol. No idea what to do as there doesn’t seem to be any seat options that fit in, I’d love to get a seat that is a fair bit lower, because apart from that they’re a great daily/fun/reliable/nice looking cars, future classic I think

Wow lovely car and cool to see them standard. I’ve recently purchased a 1 owner from new ST200 which is unmodified and plan to keep it standard as well

I always wanted one in Performance Blue when I was 18-19, just could never afford the insurance on it at the time - I got a standard ST150 as a stop gap between my Mk7.5 ST and my ordered Mk3 Focus RS at the time, I told myself I wouldn't mod it and spend money on it.... yeah that lasted all of about 5 minutes.. - they're epic little cars. I then went on to own an MR200 for a little while before I sold my Mk3 RS as a second car, it was an absolute blast running 200bhp, revving out to 7250rpm, that was truly epic - now enjoying my Mk8.5 M260 daily - can't get enough of fast Fords 😄

My 2007 Saab 9-3 sport combi is beginning to show it’s age and I think Toyota Corolla Hybrid TS is my next car. I’ve had the Saab for 10 years now and it’s been bulletproof this far. I hope that Toyota will give me trouble free years as well.

WOW an ultra rare beast. Cracking video mate.

First Ford I owned was the fiesta st mk6 in blue just over 10 years ago, best car I owned at the time but new business forced sale as had to get myself a van. I would definitely own one again if I could find a minter like this👌

Just subscribed. Great channel mate . I have a 58 reg in Colorado red but with all the mods . Mountune stage 1 , Miltec exhaust, Lowering springs , K&N intake and Cruise TK7 wheels and Toyo Tires . Mine has the black ST side stripes but exact same interior but alcantara on the steering wheel. Would love to see what you think of the modified car .👍

3 years on from this video I’d say 30k for yours now

Gary legend! Visiting my village of West Bergholt for the drive. You should have popped in for a cuppa!

What’s with the funeral/wake music at the start? Would’ve been better without in my opinion. Not hate. Just suggestion. Great vid.

Had a 05 plate pfl loved it.

A friend had this model,and I really like it,myself.Not usually a Ford fan.

I had a 2006 in blue had a dreamscience remap on it, and it still wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding

Traded one of these in for a mk3 focus ST for £1000. Wish I had kept it now 🙈 loved that car on a B road.

I had one of these in performance blue a few years back. Had a full cat back scorpion exhaust, Ram air induction kit with a cold air feed coming from the front passenger foglight housing & some H&R lowering springs.. Sounded & looked the bollocks! Not the fastest of its era, being shown up by the clio/ep3 of the time.. but good fun cars. One of the best looking "modern" fiestas I think.

I had the Zetec S Mk6 but only because i couldn't afford the ST. I remember seeing a prototype RS. Shame they never built that

I never had one of these but I do love um well cool 👌the last fiesta I had was 2000 zetec s 1.6 it wasn’t quick but it was a brilliant car I bought it 9 months old and kept it 4 years it never every let me down …wish I still had it

Had my st150 6 years now. It's been a very reliable car, which is what i need as its my daily drive. Still enjoy the ride every time i get in it. Simplicity is good with these. Less to go wrong

Absolute banger of a video! Simple, but it captures the essence of owning a Focus RS mk2 and the enjoyment that comes with it. I'm 17 at the moment and I really hope I get to drive or even own one of these someday. Thanks for the video, mate!

something fun about being able to thrash a car and still not be doing silly speeds. similar to u, had one when they were new.. but have recently got another one as a little toy to mess about with / fix up and do some track days.

Had two of these back in the day. Both drank oil from <30k miles. Loved both of them, both blue prefaclift models. Certainly needed to work them hard. Many cars later I've got a Mk7 as a toy. Mk6 certainly feels better built. On my 2014 the interior feels flimsy and I'm fighting rust which I thought was a thing of the past. As for the Mk6. Always preferred the rear lights of the prefaclift and you don't see many with side strips knocking about. Certainly don't see many with the full stripe kit.

Always fancied one of these in red or blue

Always had a soft spot for these in blue

Fiesta St150 was the invention of the phrase "Pocket Rocket"

I had the zetec s tdci and think that was the better option. Light alloy diesel lump, torque, 60mpg and the same chassis etc. it was a delight and I’d have another I think. Whisper it but it was the daddy of diesel warm hatches because of the handling. I know what you mean about the seating which was the big let down. I think the seat base only tilted from the middle which was pretty awful body mechanics.

Hello Gary great to see another vid it brings back memories of a great little car. Like you say a bit overlooked by hot hatch snobs back in the day but now more highly regarded and a probable future classic. They’ve become popular as track day cars, I nearly bought one a few years ago and now wish I had! Look forward to the next one mate. 👍🏻

Episode 2: A modified one

Properly lovely little motor. I’ve always thought them decals on the side really suited that era of fiesta and focus! 👌

I enjoyed your video. I've owned my unmolested 2006 performance blue ST 150 for 10yrs.It's done just over 51,000 miles. Still love driving it. I will never sell it.

A couple of years ago I was looking for a small funster as a bit of a toy. The mk6 ST was equal top of my list (with a Sukuki Swift Sport - another fizzer of a car), except that i decided i wanted a convertible. I still look at the ads occasionally and notice the price creeping up a little bit.

Great mate have you lost weight 😊

Love mine! Don't think I'll ever sell ❤️

I purchased one of these new in 2005, Performance Blue with side stripes. Great fun to drive but finding a good one now is very, very difficult.
