Ford Focus ST (2006 - 2010) 2.5 ST-2 3d (2006/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That you are a keen driver and you know a good car. When I see other hot hatches I often think "they have made the wrong choice", but then I'm obviously biased.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Most of my friends love it. Some of the "older" people I know shake their head at it as they assume I'm just a boy racer. In fact I'm not, I just think that for the price, it is the best car in the market.

YES - it is brilliant

Not sure yet, maybe a Nissan 350Z

Independent

Wanted a hot hatch and the ST was the best overall choice

What's it like to drive?

Handles excellently, good steering and lots of power across the entire rev range. It really is a fantastic car to drive.

The fact that it can do everything a hot hatch should but is still able to feel comfortable and have plenty of room for passengers and in the boot
