Car Forum / UK Car Forums / General Car Topics (UK group) / April 2006Does anyone have a good word to say about a Focus ST170!?
Thought i'd start this thread just to see if anyone has a good word to say aout the Ford ST170s, when comparing against other cars they seem to get slated! > Thought i'd start this thread just to see if anyone has a good word to > say aout the Ford ST170s, when comparing against other cars they seem > to get slated!

Ditto. Sorry, but thought the other thread was becoming confused with a shed load of other car options and discussins on the go... cheers for the responses, this is to me anyway a big decision so looking for as much advice as possible... > Sorry, but thought the other thread was becoming confused with a shed > load of other car options and discussins on the go... cheers for the > responses, this is to me anyway a big decision so looking for as > much advice as possible... Import Sylvia is the performance bargain, 328Ci is quick, fun and sensible if you don't fancy a grey import: http://tinyurl.com/kxau6 for example A > Thought i'd start this thread just to see if anyone has a good word to > say aout the Ford ST170s, when comparing against other cars they seem > to get slated! I do. I haven't driven a whole load of other cars to compare with, but I'm very happy with the ST170 that I bought back in December. At lower revs they don't seem massively powerful, but that's partly by design. The engine is CVT though, and when you start revving a bit (over 3000rpm or so) it feels like a different car. I'm sure there are more powerful cars out there, but the ST170 is a nice compromise between all-out power and something that is vaguely comfortable to drive!

CVT?! VVT surely.

CVT is Continuous Variable Valve Timing (or something like that - probably a better abbreviation) but it means that rather than a sudden burst high up the timing changes more smoothly. You can definitely feel the power change gradually as the revs increase.

Surely you mean CVVT, CVT is typically used for Continiously Variable Transmission. Our Accord has VTEC on the rump, which I suppose could have been called CVTEC heh. :-) > You can definitely feel the power change gradually as the revs increase.

Very probably :-) John > You can definitely feel the power change gradually as the revs increase. That's always a plus point...
