Looks pretty nice. Definitely easier to live with and more reliable than the 850r. However, I'd still have preferred the Focus ST considering the engine under the bonnet. You can get these cars for exceptionally good prices though.

Nice motor, I can get 40 plus mpg at a steady 70 mph even with 300 bhp and 350lb ft.

Be interested to see what you do with it, probably look quite good lowered with bigger wheels.

Nice car mate.
I have spent a long time developing and testing the interior of these cars and they fair very well. Would look good withan altitude drop.

I suppose it's a bit bigger and heavier and not run in mines done over 170k now you might find it better with a tune though. I'm turning about 2400 rpm at 70 mph in 6th

I thought this was a Volvo Forum or have I missed the point of this post. Not particularly interested in a Ford car if I was I would go to the Ford Owners forum.

Being a Volvo forum, I'm not sure why you feel the need to tell us your previous car history of a BMW, Mazda, Merc etc... Or am I missing the point?
