Ford Focus ST 2.5 Review: Shifting focus
This is the updated 2.5-litre, 225bhp Ford Focus ST - not only officially the fastest Focus in our market, but also the highest-specced. On paper, it ticks all the right boxes and all the numbers add up to great expectations. But how does it fair in the real world?

So yes, the Ford Focus ST remains as one of the hottest hatch money can buy for now, and it undercuts both the Audi S3 and Volkswagen Golf GTI when it comes to economic of sense. New additional equipment is an appreciated touch, the driving sensation is one that you can easily love and live with on a daily basis, and it isn't as harsh or brutal as a WRX STI. Best of all, there's a sleek charisma - you can impress the boss when showing up for work in it, plus at the same time, won't be labelled a "boy-racer" as there's also a certain mature charm.
Hence if you have $109k and am thinking of splurging all of it on a hot-hatch the wife will approve of and the parents won't complain (of getting backaches, of course), then you can't go wrong with the Focus ST.
