New Silver Fox Mk8 owner

Hey all,

Just picked up a 2019 ST-3 in Silver Fox. My first Ford, and the most powerful car I've had before this was a 420i, so I'm having an absolute blast with this.

Bought it pretty much as soon as the garage got it in. Not sure on the exact history of the car, but I was told the guy who sold it had it as a weekend car and didn't drive it much - it's only done just over 6k miles and looks pretty much new inside and out.

It's had a few nice upgrades, the obvious being the bonnet vents which always divide opinion but I actually think these ones look pretty good.

It's also got a Revo stage 1 remap, Revo intake with ITG filter, Scorpion exhaust and it's had a ceramic coat done. The 'FST' number plate came with it and is a nice touch.

Only thing it's missing is the pan roof, but living in the north I'm not too fussed.

I've only had it out a couple of times so far, but my only regret is I didn't buy a car as fun as this earlier!

Looking forward to learning more about the car from this forum.

Welcome, that's a nice looking car. You should count yourself lucky, we didn't get the new three-cylinder version over here.

Welcome! I'm happy for you, but also jealous. Europe gets all the cool hot hatches and we just don't.
I have to focus on preserving mine.

At least we got the good hot hatches for a while, while Ford was doing its One Ford program, where they would sell the same cars all over the world. If it wasn't for that, I don't think we would have been able to get our cars here in the US.
So I'm thankful for that and, but I agree with you, it would have been nice to have them keep coming as time goes on.

Nor did we EVER get the 3 door version for our Mk 7s.
