“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.”
not as sporty as the golf gti? by not as sporty do you mean not as slow, borign looking and overpriced as the golf gti? if so, i agree.
“a five cilinder turbocharged car for the masses. great. ”
Exactly.
A comfartably, well priced compact car with a nice sounding engine.
But not as sporty as an Golf GTI Mark V.
the Focus is identical all around the world expect the USA.. all around the world the Focus use the Ford C1 platfrom developt by Ford Germany, only the Focus in the USA still use the old C170 platform the different between a German and New Zealand or Aussi Focus are minimal ... as I said befor there is a different between what is writen on paper no matter if manufactor claim or car registration numbers and real weight. Today are nearly all cars more heavy as manufactor claimed for a simple reason... they claim the weight with no options added to the car...optinal stuff like leather, larger rims, spoiler electric this and that adds many kg to the basic weight..btw a large part of the Aussi sold Focus are build in Saarlouis Germany they roll from the same line as the europen Focus
2009 sportauto 1452kg
2007 sportscars 1460kg
2007 sportauto 1430kg
2006 sportauto 1472kg
nearly all tested Focus ST are more than 1450kg in the real world.. compared to Astra OPC rel world weight
2006 sportauto 1367kg
2008 sportauto 1367kg
2006 auto motor und sport 1352kg
2005 sportauto 1375kg
in average the OPC is 75-100kg lighter than the ST
The ford mountune st was an official, ford backed and approved, official release with manufacturer warranty intact, it is also listed as a different type of focus st on the insurance websites as its an official new car released by ford so to speak.
They cant be compared.
1. the 2007 focus st was EXACTLY the same as the 2005 focus st, the facelift didnt occur until 2008, shit website it seems.
2. The weight of the st did not increase with the facelift anyway!
