Fun, Economy, and Performance all in one.

If you want to have your cake and eat it too, this is the car for you. If you really want to own a performance car but need to also have a practical daily driver the Focus ST might be the car to fit the bill. With 252 hp and a chassis that is setup for outstanding handling characteristics it can really give you the performance feel you might be looking for along with being able to travel on the freeway getting 30 mpg at 80 mph. I was blown away by all that this vehicle is capable of. Because it is a hatchback you have great practicality also, which is very hard to find in vehicles unless you are looking at crossover SUVs. Most importantly it's been a joy to own and I've felt like it was money well spent and a good bang for the buck if you are looking for a car that can do everything.

Best car for the money

This car met all of my needs. It has plenty of legroom in the front and back, the ride is great compared to other cars I have tested.

Great bang-for-your-buck

I picked up a used 2016 Focus ST (ST2) less than a week ago and I'm already head-over-heels in love with this car. If you're thinking about buying one, stop reading this and just do it already.

Super fun & Zippy too

Just purchased this 2016 ST model and "Love it" Immediate responsiveness and super quick (Zippy). It turns on a dime and my soccer kids fight to get a ride..

Test drive Focus St

Very stylish, incredible handling, power couldn't reach what I saw as a reasonable price with dealer doc fees too high.

Perfect in almost every way!

This car is, by far, the best vehicle I've owned. The styling is sleek. Performance is there for every gear you're in. The only drawback for me is the symposer. After modifying the exhaust, the symposer resonates much louder throughout the cabin. I will be removing it soon because of this. Pros: Quick, reliable, decent of fuel (93 only), beautiful. Cons: Sound symposer, stiff suspension at low speeds.

My favorite car I've ever owned

I've owned my focus st for a little over a year and it has yet to disappoint me. It's incredibly fun to drive and looks great. The only drawback I can think of is the Recaro seats, although they look good and hold you in place when driving aggressively they are not good for long car rides.
