Excellent write-up and pics, thanks Komotar 8)

I've always been impressed by the Focus, the 1.8i petrol always seemed to be 'just powerful enough' for spirited driving IMHO,so the extra power and and torque of the TDCi should make it even better, you seem to have been very impressed with it. The TDCi Ford is a car that is on my list to drive when I get a chance to, for sure. No diesel Fords in the USA though, so that one will have to wait.

The Fiesta ST emblem picture would make a nice avatar for one of the Fiesta boys too, IMHO.

You're welcome.

Why isn't it selling the ST??? Are the other fiesta's are for sale???

Most of the Fiesta range is selling in Turkey. Ford isn't selling it because it has 2.0 liter engine. 2 liter engines pay alotof taxes in Turkey. Focus St and Focus RS Mondeo St220 didn't sell in Turkey too.

It is not strange in Turkey we pay alotof taxes for car has more than 1.6 liter engines. Because of this car has little engine displacements sells well. So companies sells little engine cars. Last year about 450.000 cars sold and 65-70 percent of it has 1.6 liter or less engine.

What an awesome set of pics and what some fortunate and technical comments as well, probably your comments are better than some of the cars magazines; in addition, i started laughing a bit when i noticed that you were using the had brakes in a slow bend, it must have been a great fun when driving someone else´s car for a moment

Cool roadtest report komotar !

I always been a fan of Passat, the new one seems really interesting on several points. Those action pictures of the Ford Fiesta ST are really great. In short, your whole photography is always professional.
