It seemed good

I liked how it drove and everything. I just was not a fan of the gear shift, which was similar to the volume knob. I did like that you could switch to manual though

This is not your regular Ford Focus

This is a little rocket, you shift whenever the computer tells you to shift and I'm headed as far as 4.5 liters per hundred kilometers. But when you step on the gas it really goes perfect the zip around town and awesome on the highway.

The Golf GTI Killer from Ford

Looking to replace my beloved manual transmission Volvo C30 hatchback after a 9 year love affair I was hard pressed to find a replacement. Volvo only seemed interested in SUVs for the well heeled nuclear family. After considering imports like the Mini or VW Golf GTI neither of which were widely available in a manual, I stumbled upon the Ford Focus ST. It?s only 3 weeks but I love this car! It's easy to park, nimble to drive, and has luxurious appointments.

Best car ever owned!

This vehicle is definitely the best I?ve ever owned. The performance is amazing and so is the comfort! I will probably never own another car.

I'm loving it!

So far it's only been a few days, but in the few days, my fiance and I have come to love this car more and more. I have owned numerous turbo sports cars and the Focus ST is just a complete well rounded runner. It runs great, cruises when ya went to, and when you need to pass it's ready. I haven't been this excited to go out and drive my car every morning in a long time because driving has always been my fun time, I love it. The Focus ST has brought back the enjoyment I had always had before plus some. I will come back after a few months and revise this with any updates after I have put some miles on it. Thanks

Second focus . Manufacturing was a step below the

Some defects in the interior that ford is currently taking care of but I feel the quality control of this car was lacking. The car is the most fun of any I?ve owned. If you are heavy set . Recaro seats can be uncomfortable and beware if you live in the north make sure it comes with all season tires as the summer tires it comes with will go nowhere in the snow. I had to buy extra set of wheels and tires for my new car .
