ST3 finally arrived

[T.O.Snake]

Got it Saturday and can echo all the positive comments made by existing owners. Very refined, quality feel. Been raining here every day since, so I haven't been able to really put the car through its paces, but suffice to say you can tell it's a real handler.

Meh iPhone pics, but gives an idea:

Yep, matching pair. Haven't been able to get a group shot because we're getting rain all this week.

Anyways, we were downsizing from an SUV, while maintaining some practicality and so far this thing is delivering.

I really like the new Focus ST. White is the perfect color. Tint the windows and that car will look mean. I think Ford missed the boat on the wheel design though. Snowflake pattern is not doing it for me. I think the 5 spoke SVT wheels looked much better.

Yep, tint to follow. And I agree on the wheels, which is why the stockers will become my winter wheels. Will probably look at something like this for summer:

Yeah, congrats right back. The car is definitely living up to the hype, and it's been a long wait for the ST3s to finally come in.

As for your question, I honestly didn't look closely, but I'm quite sure they're not. I think the only use of LEDs are the decorative strip lights that accent the HIDs.

Tick over $32k. Ours only come basically loaded (only things i could add - which i did - were nav and sunroof). In the US, they call our trim the ST3.

Got employee pricing (amounts to A-plan in the US, I believe). Not a lot of wiggle room on pricing because only 600 are allotted for Canada this year, with most dealerships only getting one or two cars.

For wha you get, I think it represents excellent value. Just read that the AJAC named it best new performance car under $50k, so at just over $30k, I think it's a bargain. First time I've ever ordered a car sight unseen, but the reviews were all so positive I decided to go for it. No regrets so far.

God damn'it! ...I want an ST so bad now! lol

A white one too.

Anyway, congrats to the both of you with your awesome new car!
