The focus st has been a car I've wanted to drive for the longest time. It looks good, is quick, and practical. It's everything I like in a fun dd. So what I think after driving it? The car is great. It's pretty damn quick. There's a bit of torque steer with it but I didn't mind too much, it kept me on my toes. My biggest complaint was the shifter. It was terrible. My 95 Civics shifter feels better than the focus's. However I'm sure a nice short shifter would fix that. Besides that small niggle I had no complaints. The one I drove had the optional recaros which are a must if you ask me. The seats were great and so was the driving position. It cornered pretty well too but there was a slight lack of road feel but I can't fault it. All in all it's a serous contender for my next car. I just have to see if its' little brother the fiesta ST is any better.

I haven't had an opportunity to drive one (read: I intentionally did not test drive one because I would have probably went stupid in debt and bought it) before I bought the '13 Focus SE. Even though the one I have is only 160 horse, the thing has yet to give a reason to 'need' more power. Coming from the Cobra to this is still taking some getting used to, but still I would never have considered this car had it not been able to make the drive FUN. That's a mandatory prerequisite for me. This does it. Different than the Cobra, but still works.

I think Ford is horrible.

I can't wait till they're dirt cheap to buy one as a DD

I really like how the newer Fiestas and Focuses look. I wanted one but I'm physically incapable of driving them due to my size.
