Fast Ford and quick estate in one upgraded package!
You’ll know by now that Mountune-modified fast Fords tend to be pretty great. Whether spending a lot of money on small upgrades or big bucks on a proper overhaul, you’ll not be disappointed. Back when the Mountune Performance work was manufacturer backed, Fiesta STs with yellow boot badges were everywhere. Understandable, really, when £600 unlocked so much more enjoyment.
There was a similar kit for the Focus ST at the time, too, which is often forgotten about in the shadow of the Fiesta’s success. A bit more involved , the Mountune Performance upgrade for the 2.0-litre ST boosted power to 275hp and torque to a mighty 295lb ft - both numbers that would be more than competitive almost 10 years later.
When PH tested a hatch with the upgrade alongside a Fiesta, it hit 100mph in 14 seconds flat. With a bad start. So compelling was the work, in fact, that the story concluded it would be “hard to imagine ordering either car without them given they don’t invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.” Alas, that didn’t happen. Or perhaps it did and all the contented owners couldn’t imagine parting with their Focuses. But where there are dozens of Mountuned RS Focuses out there, both the five-cylinder and four-wheel drive ones, there really aren’t many STs. Partly that’ll be due to the cost - Mountune Performance for the Focus cost £1,225, against £599 for the Fiesta - and partly it might be due to a more mature customer plumping for the Focus over the Fiesta.
With a little less than 60,000 miles recorded and in seemingly fair condition, it’s for sale at £14,499, making it broadly comparable with other estates of a similar age and mileage. You’re not having to pay a premium for the extra power that an owner once did, basically, which is nice. In fact it’ll likely be just as fast as a new Focus ST wagon, for just about half the price - sounds a pretty good deal to us.
