as you may now , my scorpio is currently off the road , so ive managed to borrow a friends car for a while , cant use my cab as i have a day man (my dad)
and ive got to say its a pukka little motor , goes really well , pretty comfy and well laid out , dont think you can beat a ford for interior , only had it a day so far but very impressed , but i prefer a bigger car , inside and out, but so far so good

how about the seats? comfy? i hate newer Fords because of the seats... they all seem quite hard and badly profiled.

I followed a Focus ST onto the motorway the other day in a 24v I stayed with him but I couldnt get passed. (Well not without going over 100 anyway) 
What spec engine do they have, anyone know?

seats aint bad , not a lot of side support if you know what i mean, they feel like your going to slide off them if you take a corner a bit sharpish, i think that after sitting in scorpio seats its hard to find anything that comes close , i do like the lay out of the car tho , everything is within easy reach , it is a hell of a lot better than the audi A4 i drove last week, beats it by a country mile

That'll teach you to mess about with the diff  you might have surprised him on a standing start though

More like he couldn't get away your torque and diff ratio would make it a pretty even match with a standard ST. I find it laughable that ford cant produce a performance engine these days like the cossie 24v - they have to fall back on a volvo lump  (and even a volvo chasis for the latest range....)
He must have been chewing on his "new edge" steering wheel with rage that some 'busted old' ford could pace him
