Quite nice cars though as a daily driver and if you leave it stock it is quite good.

The Focus St is awesome just its FWD....

Also have you seen the (US) Ford Fusion I think if they fit that thing with a properly turbo charged power plant and lower it. The Fusion will be a tuners dream a poor mans BMW.

A lot of Fords are underated with what performance gains you can give them, like now, while our car is in for work we have a chipped diesel, nothing but a chip, no exhaust or anything, and its doing 50 BHP more, its stupidly quick, but not quite as quick as ours

The US needs more Euro cars but still I love small engine cars 2.0L motors blowing v8's out of their pants

A lot of diesels are that way, not just Ford's. A quick drop in chip for a huge gain in horsepower........

Best thing is when you change the compression ratio, you get a LOT more power when you combine it with a chip.

Im now learning to drive in said diesel, its scary stuff, bit too powerful to be honest.

Those things are beasts. My dads freind had a 7.0L Ford Truck with a TTurbo Diesel its a beast if that thing got a few chips some compression ratio changes I think it could hit really high hp. 325 though stock which is quite disappointing...

Right man, just checking cuz they do a chip for the focus here 270 BHP with just that, sounds a monster.

Aye, i agree totally, dual exhausts dont always do it for me, and the evo is one of those cars which just screams a single.

270 with a chip nice but what motor are you talking about cause the most common one here is the 2.0L Zetec...

If I do get an Evo X I will strip the dual exaust right away and go single EVO's are just made to be that way...
