the Focus ST has lots of universal appeal thanks to its ability to mix hot hatch performance with everyday usability. Indeed, when it comes to matching fun and value, the Focus ST is in a class of its own. The Ford Focus ST could be specified as a hatchback or estate and there are two 2.0-litre engines to choose from – one petrol and one diesel. As you might expect, its the 250PS four-cylinder petrol that provides the most fun, with 0-62mph taking 6.5 seconds and 360Nm of torque flowing all the way to 5000rpm. Claimed fuel economy is decent, too, with 41.5mpg and 159g/km of CO2. The Focus ST largely impresses with firm but rewarding handling. The steering is well weighted and the chassis feels light and nimble, with a keen turn-in and lots of feedback. The Focus ST is perfectly comfortable for families and the Recaro front seats provide good levels of back and upper leg support for long-distance drives.
