Ford Focus ST Review - The most practical hot hatch on sale? - The Fast Ford formula is alive and well in the Focus ST: everyday usability meets serious performance at an affordable price.
Replacing the notoriously thirsty five-cylinder 2.5-litre turbo motor of its predecessor with a smaller 2.0-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine hasn’t just improved economy and emissions but given performance a useful shot in the arm as well. And in this facelifted car, those strengths still remain.
It finds full expression in a supple, sporty chassis that strikes a canny balance between handling acuity and ride comfort. It may not be as fast and entertaining as Renault’s hardcore RS Meganes but, with 247bhp and a top speed of 154mph, it has more than enough going for it to take the fight to the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Vauxhall Astra VXR.
The much improved cabin is a still far from the best but, overall, the Focus ST delivers where it matters.
The Ford Focus ST range starts out at just £22,750 - significantly lower than any of the ST's key rivals. That does only get you the entry-level EcoBoost ST1 model, though, which misses out on kit like auto headlights and wipers, part-leather Recaro seats and dual-zone climate control.
We'd step up to ST-2 trim, while the plushest ST-3, which covers the seats with full leather and also adds heating and electrical adjustment. You also get bi-xenon headlights and Ford's latest SYNC2 infotainment system.
Interestingly, diesel models are just a fiver short of their petrol counterparts - pricing starts at £22,745 with estates beginning at £23,845. ST2 and ST3 models ramp up the equipment at equivalent intervals.
