The model
Read full Ford Focus ST reviewThe Ford Focus ST is not as fun to drive as the Honda Civic Type R, but it is more entertaining than many other rivals – as well as being competitively priced and well equipped. Plus, it's just as practical as the regular Focus, making it perfect for performance-hungry families.
The trim
See full equipmentThis trim lets you make the most of the Focus's great handling characteristics without paying the premium cost of the Focus ST hot hatch. Like Active, it gets most of the same equipment as the Titanium trim but adds 17in alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, sportier styling, and lowered and stiffened suspension, making for a more dynamic drive.
The engine
See full engine specsThis is the engine to go for if you want more potent performance. It has 153bhp and sprints from 0-62mph in 9.0sec with the six-speed manual gearbox and 8.4sec with the optional seven-speed manual. Best of all, it’s still quite efficient compared to its rivals.
