    Its only a couple of months old so should be fine, by no means a zombie thread :)

    Personally I think the blue looks great, and who cares what others say, they aren't buying the car ;)

    Spirit blue is a gorgeous colour on the Fiesta ST's. It's in no way too bright either, it's a darker blue than the older performance blue and I wouldn't have even called that bright!

    If you like the blue, then go for it! It's subtle enough to blend in but it's also different enough to look a bit special.

    Race red is good (standard), so is Frozen White (€150). Spirit Blue is great but costs €950 extra.

    There's also Panther Black at €600 and Molten Orange at €950.

    Your choice but regardless the Fiesta ST is a fantastic car. Best of luck with it.

    Thanks for the quick replies.

    I like the Panther Black but it would be too hard to keep clean. I'm not a huge fan of the Molten Orange, just not for me. There's enough red cars around so I think the Spirit Blue is something that will stand out in a good way.

    Hey all. So I've been approved for finance on one of these little rockets today, for delivery in January. I've decided to take the plunge as I've been thinking about it for a long time and the real deal event going on gave me my excuse!

    The issue is in relation to picking a colour. I have my heart set on spirit blue but.....I'm colour blind! A few people have said to me it's too bright.

    What do the people of this fine forum think?

    Mine is ready for collection in January too :D went with Spirit Blue myself, my next choice would have been white and then red though.

    Ask the people that will see you in the most, friends, family and show them the different colours, get their reaction. My opinion is blue is the best colour but you wont go wrong with what ever you end up picking.

    Did I see that you drove by it every day on the way to work... :pac:

    I wouldn't submit myself to such torture!

    Mixed reaction, people either love it or think it's a bit much. I love it so it stays!

    Fiesta ST's may soon outnumber BMW 3 series here. :eek:

    .... a friend of mine posted he just ordered one of these today: got it for 18.5K. That sounds like good value to me, tbh.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Yup, unfortunately my daily commute brings me by the Ford garage, I could avoid it and go about a mile out of my way but I like seeing it in the window every day, reminds me of what I've to look foreward to. :)

    We can have our own little Boards Fiesta meet. :pac:

    I only know because my all lad just ordered a new Focus ST, which had €8,750 off the top before he even mentioned his trade-in or started to negotiate. Cracking value, even for a Ford :D

    Including the trade in and a few dealer offers ill be paying a shade over 19.5k myself. The value is immense. :)

    Ford were given me a better price on my own car too than opel when i was shopping around a few months back.

    Edit : the price also includes the 1k depoist I put down on the car.

    I'm assuming that applies to the ST2 as well? So say you configured one for €29000, they then apply the €5000 savings off that and it ends up at €24000? Great deal if so!

    It does, mine is an ST2 with style pack.

    I'm under the impression you have to trade in a car less than 10 years old (with nct, tax and insurance) in order to initially qualify for the 5k off. I had a car that fit the criteria regardless so I didn't ask.

    Is the Ford website out of date or what? I was just configuring a Focus ST there and it's still showing a price in the high 30k.

    Whatever it says add 600 for delivery and take off 8750. They won't take newer cars as a trade in though.

    Knew there had to be some sort of catch. That's me out so. Great deal other than that.

    Might be worth trying a few dealers to see if some might be accommodating...

    Probably not be much money to be made in taking a BMW F10 in against a Focus ST. Might ring for curiosity anyway.

    Some garages will do the discount if you have no trade-in, Ive ordered a Zetec-S without trading in and got the full discount. Could you sell your Bimer privately?

    Hi all, I was chatting to local dealer about ordering one of these, the 5k off should be available for those doing straight deals also. Does anyone know if a 5 door can be ordered in Ireland, seen some pics online only but all seem to be US based? The Blue would be my colour of preference also or else black.

    I wish it came in 5-door here as well, becuase if it did, I'd have my girlfriend in one ASAP!

    (she won't buy a 3-door car, it makes me sad)

    Pity but it won't stop me buying one if the deal works out right. Was looking at new Ibiza Cupra too and its good value at 23k and the Seat/VW finance is very cheap.
