Simple and Good review of the the focus ST. It does make it a good competition with VW GTI because of its value for money pricing. I think THe focus ST should also come in auto or semi manual gearbox.
Anyways nice review and cool car.
Kamran
The new Ford Focus ST is a powerful, affordable, fun-to-drive hot hatch comparatively as compared to the VW Golf.
A cool lot of accessories are loaded and it is visually appealing also.

When the new Ford Focus 2013 was launched we were not aware that there was a model called ST. When after reading the review the normal Ford Focus went out of the mind and all the love went and is still for the Ford Focus ST.
We are having a Ford Focus in our house hold and were not thinking about another one. But the Ford Focus ST shattered our per-determined thoughts.
Next the thought came in to the mind was how good is this Ford Focus ST compared to the highly advertised Toyota 86 and Hyundai Genesis Coupe. We were also anxious to read a comparison with the three models.
After reading the Ford Focus ST road test review, we came to happily understand that;
This is a driver’s/enthusiast’s car with its 6 – speed manual transmission, 0 – 100km @ 7.1 Seconds,340 – 360 Nm Torque,good engine and gear box,good ride and handling good interiors and a Value For Money price tag of AED 99,000.
(It is rare now a days with a car in this segment getting this much good review and it happily surprised us.)
At last, Mash you have done a great review which brought happy smiles on all of our faces. Congrats and we are anxious for more.
NB:- But secretly we wish the Ford Focus ST for a rear wheel drive 😀 .

the ST just shifted my mind from the 86.
it may lack the fun of the 86 but it definitely makes up for it with practicality and power !

Makes GM cars look bad! DriveArabia.com users should boycott GM!
Nadezda
nice look, in comparison with previous ford focus. It became more modern style. Inside looks quite cozy.
Manual gearbox…I didn’t try it since 2007 🙂
Fuel economy is enormous!!! My dad’s LC Prado 4.0L had the same consumpion!

My comment
SorT the SporT..you will find Ford ST is your port
reza
they say u get what u pay for and thats the story for this car gcc dosnt bring lot of other hot hatch car like mazda speed 3 which is a lot better than st i drove many cars and about this one ill say the negative points and positive. the car feels cheap, plastic everywhere, its slower than last generation, lot of Understeer and it has fake sound which people like somehow. if u buy gti for little more at least u know that its a German engineer development which dose not leave any imprecation.ford donig a good job these years but still after sale value is … never mind but ye here in uae it is cheaper than other hot hatch cars and it give u the thrill yet i dont call it proper hot hatch with all those Understeer!!!!

Hi Reza, my name is Sue and i work with Ford Middle East. Appreciate your comments and thoughts on hot hatches, and i would like to invite you to test drive the new ST. In the mean time, i’d like to clarify and highlight a few of the features that are unique to the ST. First of all, the 2-litre EcoBoost twin turbo-charged engine on the ST not only generates 252 net hp which is much more powerful than the previous model, but it also gives that great engine roar but perhaps one of the best technologies on this car is the torque vectoring control, which, as you know, gives sports cars a great grip on corners. Recaro seats and some cool touches on the inside give the ST a cockpit feel. As for the engineering it is German! Would love to get in touch and get you behind the wheels of the ST as soon as possible!
Motorhead
Ford is cool again due to this insane car!!

Old school hatch, no unnecessary gimmicks, great powerful engine, relaxed suspension and chassis, excellent setup, tail happy! Most of the things that other modern cars (competitors) don’t have any more = fun to drive! Can I get a car instead of the shirt
Yehia
That T-shirt is mine!
Ahmed Ali
great value for money however availability of automatic transmission and immediate delivery is important
Choucrallah
The ST’s competitive advantage is its power to price ratio
Vinod
