2018 Ford Focus ST consumer reviews

The car in itself is the most fun I?ve had driving since I was 16. I am very happy with my purchase however there are a few short comings that this vehicle has to offer. Such as, the interior styling although a bit dated and not updated since it?s release of the 2016 Variant. Although with my needs is just as much as I would require out of the brand new vehicle purchase. The only thing that I would really like to have on the vehicle is better exterior styling that matches that closer to the updates that they are getting in Europe. The vehicle is fantastic and fun to drive as functional as a family vehicle it rides just as nice and I would recommend it to anybody looking for a fun fast sporty vehicle to use as an every day family car.

Newton Ford South in shelbyville, tn is awesome! The entire dealership made us feel like part of their family. I will be coming back for my next cars.

I am happy with it now that the problems I drove off the lot with have been repaired. It's pretty zippy. It's also very comfy and has a smooth ride.

The 2018 Ford Focus st is a great car for performance and gas mileage. The 6 speed is very smooth to shift and the EcoBoost engine is very responsive to my driving style. Great car.

Exceeded my expectations. Knew they were fast and people loved them, but I was sceptical. Off the line it spins the tires a bit due to weight. 2nd gear on will throw you back in the seat! Can keep up with anything from 20-155. Gets looks everywhere I go

This car is going to meet all of our needs. It is fuel efficient, spacious, and gets us where we need to go while being comfortable.

LOVE MY 2017 FORD FOCUS ST. FOR THE PRICE IT IS GREAT VALUE. IF YOU WANT A CAR THAT IS ECONOMICAL AND ALSO PERFORMS, THIS CAR GIVES YOU A GREAT VALUE. THE INTERIOR IS COMFORTABLE AND STYLISH AND THE EXTERIOR IS VERY APPEALING. I COMMUTE IN THIS CAR AND GET A LITTLE OVER 31 MPG ON THE ROAD. THE CAR HAS PLENTY OF POWER TOO FOR A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, SO YOU GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Where do I start? Uhmm....2015 was a blast (performance blue) enjoying my first passenger car at the tender age of 54. I can't recall how many F-150's I've purchased; just that I like em white on the outside and grey on the inside (no carpet please) then training camp was over and I needed a RS. Not to be. Soooo as I had literally driven the wheels off ( well tires...twice) preparing to take on the legendary RS, I took the opportunity to trade without having my brains blown out. 2016 opens with a more age appropriate color (mystic grey) and the reason I gave the cars only 4 stars for reliability. The 2nd ST kept blowing the supply hoses off that feed the turbos. As seem to be the norm, once a unit develops a reoccurring problem your in for a world of Shasta. Here enterith my previous life as a graduate of Ford Motor Company's A.S.S.E.T. program and a history of effecting maintenance at the dealership level. The 3rd ST is special ordered (my skin is crawling) I receive her (2016 white with red racing stripes) fully loaded with the exception of a hole in the roof and life was oh so.....tolerable. STILL NO RS. Finally to the point of this review. The RS is sitting patiently at a dealership less than 40 miles from where I peck, GLORIOUS in heart but humiliated by an almost 11K reduction from her 2017 sticker price. Yes she is in reach. But I will proudly take ownership of a new 2018 ST at around dinner time tomorrow (that's lunch to most of you, we have supper around 6 p.m. in these parts) decked out in blue once again. Ford Performance Blue.

Amazing car all around. If I REALLY had to nitpick- I'm not a fan of the way the dash and radio area is style. Looks like something that belongs in a mini van instead of a sporty hatch. I wish the car looked more aggressive on the outside. Even with the RS, ford is downplaying the appearance of the car. Save the vanilla looks for the economy and base models. And of course, needs about 20 more HP stock. Do this, and It would undoubtedly be the best hatch out there. It probably is already!

Already a Corvette owner, now that I am retired I wanted to add to my garage a utilitarian hatch that could pack my three grandsons around, yet looked good and was reasonably fun to drive. I was already enamored with my wife's Subie Impreza. After weeks of research, Ford's announcement that this was the last year for the Focus, and a local dealer's deep discount on base ST's, I picked out a white one. In the next few days I fell in love with the little rocket ship. Holy S**t!!! This thing rocks. I can take turns so quickly I can see my own taillights. I should have bought one years ago. It comes well-enough equipped fr my 66 year old tatstes, and I get the giggles every time I park it. Clutch and transmission are the amongst the smoothest out there. This little gem is a keeper.
