The Ford Focus ST is destined to be the last of its traditional hot hatchbacks so it's fitting that this final iteration one of its finest renditions. With the exciting new Track Pack fitted, the Focus ST is more than a match for its rivals, and a fast and furious way to say goodbye to an auspicious lineage of Ford hot hatchbacks.

I had a FBO 18 Focus ST and loved that car. Nice to see Ford put that 2.3 in the ST. Really a shame we don't get these in the states, I think they would still sell but muh SUV and pickups.

This is so backwards, Ford not selling these hatchbacks in the States is like VW not selling the GTI in Germany.

Pulling the plug on hatchbacks by Ford is so sad. I reside in Southern Africa and the ST has a huge following here especially in South Africa. The latest Focus ST and focus for that matter are no longer sold here. Therefore Ford guys are jumping ship in favour of VW, Hyundai and those who are growing up are going for BMW and Audi for example.

Really poor review with the bulk rambling on about the track pack, plus its badly edited with the engine noise clearly accelerating, whilst the video shows you changing down to 2nd. How about a review which just says how it drives as a daily, the quality of the paint & interior, rather than the reviewer clearly just trying to look like a good driver?!?!

Keeps referring to the CTR, but a CTR is an equivalent to an RS?? Also got a 10 to 15k price difference. An ST is the equivalent to a GTi or a Leon Cupra or Skoda VRS. Honda fanboy was the wrong person to review this car

10% lighter rims, new tires, improved suspension. Nothing a good neighborhood garage can't do. On the other hand, engine, gearbox and steering from a tractor. Well done Ford, you've done it again. 🤡

Comparisons to the Honda are moot when there's 10k between them brand new, and the Type-R will make you look like a bit of a pleb if you're over the age of 35.

your wrong about the quality off the interior , okay ist not a bmw like quality , but if you compare the ford with the honda and the golf , there just on the same level , golf isnt what it once whas , honda is very good build , but also uses cheap plastic on the inside , ford has decent quality dash, steeringwheel, centerconsole , and some cheaper plastics , but whats cheap with ford is most of the time in a black colour witch looks better than the golf grey styl plastics also the engine and gearbox are amazing , just the same for how the steering feels , the problem is , people need to learn how to drive those cars , you have to learn the feeling , and thats different compared to the golf,cause it comes in auto...gearbox the focus is a drivers car

electric engines are the dinosaurs, it's an older technology, with no future. They are just crap performance wise, why do you think F1 is not electric? EV should be used only for commuting in large cities, people shouldn't be forced to buy a less effective and more expensive technology.
