2018 Ford Focus ST consumer reviews

Purchased new in August 2018. Great performance and handling. Excellent braking and great aesthetics. Now at 95,000 miles. Needed rear brake rotors at 30,000 miles and rear third light at 3,000 miles. both covered under warranty. No other repairs needed. Extremely fun to drive. I average 28-29 mpg combined. I tend to accelerate quickly. Never an issue with the 6 speed. Comfortable on cross country trips.

I’ve driven British sports cars most of my life and enjoyed them. I bought an st3 and enjoy driving even more. Handling and excelleration above average for an auto of this type. Comfortable heated leather seats, decent gas mileage, very good sound system. Avery fun ride. No regrets after buying this car.

Absolutely the best and most fun out of any car I ever owned. Easily upgradable and plenty of aftermarket parts available for that extra flair. Great as a daily or just for fun and a great community as well.

The ST is fast as xxxx and only made in a manual. The suspension let's you feel everything on the road. Be careful it's easy to go to jail in this car. Take it the track. It's a rally car remember that. Have fun. Be safe.

I am very impressed! This is the first front wheel drive/hot hatch I've ever owned. It is like a go cart on steroids! I would say if you are interested in a hot hatch you definitely have to look at an ST. Mine is an ST stage 1. So it is fairly basic. But still it is comfortable, great on gas, and super fun!

The funnest vehicle I've ever owned for the money, has plenty of performance, handles amazing, everything is simple and easy to use/understand and I highly recommend it to someone wanting a performance family hot hatch. The 6 speed is smooth and easy to use in heavy traffic and fun to use on a windy road!

Love it! Sporty! Fun! Great gas mileage! Totally a car you should buy! Love it! Best value car! Turbo is fast and manual is fun! They stopped making Ford cars so will be a collectors! Thanks

Great drivers car for the price. +Handling, tourque, grip with a good shifter feel. Decent cloth seats. -Recaro seats should have been optional in the ST1 package. A lot of squeaks. Btw cars.com, THE ST IS ONLY AVAILABLE WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Overall user ratings would have been even higher on this site if people weren't confused by adding a review of their regular focus with an automatic (dual clutch) transmission.

This car will put a smile on your face everytime you drive it. It's amazing! You will turn around and look at it when you walk away every time.

I have driven a lot of cars when I was looking for a replacement for my Chevy Cobalt, such as VW GLI, Civic Si, Impala, WRX STI, Nissan Altima, and more. But when I drove this car I knew it was the one I wanted. I may not be as fast to 60 as a STI, but it feels more fun then all of the other cars I have mentioned. The SYNC 3 system is fantastic, my phone pairs as soon as I get in the car, and the handling and acceleration is engaging, and fun. I have found a lot of newer cars, especially in this price range feel very bland, and generic, but this car is different. I find it to stand out from all the other cars because the feeling it will give you when you drive it, instead of feeling like every single other car, something about its handling, and acceleration feels unique and like nothing else you can find for its price range.
