Ford Focus 2.0T EcoBoost ST-3 Euro 6 (s/s) 5dr

+CLEAN AIR+ULEZ+NAV+What’s it like to drive? The minimal mechanical changes mean it’s as impressive as the Focus ST hatchbacks we’ve previously driven. Ford has managed to replace the old ST’s warbling five-cylinder 2.5-litre engine with a four-cylinder 2-litre that sounds nearly as interesting and delivers more power. You’re never in any doubt that it’s turbocharged, but the laggy, unnatural delivery of some rivals is missing and it’s a lovely engine to keep on the boil. A slick six-speed manual gearbox – there’s no automatic option – adds to the satisfaction. There’s more than enough torque to allow ample acceleration in all gears, and conversely some notable torque steer in second and third gears, especially on bumpier bits of British tarmac. It’s not a deal-breaker, but there’s enough to heighten your grasp of the steering wheel, especially if the ESP is off. ESP on or off, though, this is a great handling car. The variable-ratio electric steering is far more satisfying than you might suspect, and there’s a real sweetness to the car’s reactions. Grip is lost progressively and the rear is properly throttle-adjustable, and can be used to tighten cornering lines very effectively. The Focus ST is a fun, well-balanced car to drive. Economy and MPG. The switch to a four-cylinder engine has yielded an impressive 39.2mpg combined figure, but like its bigger-engine predecessor, the ST will quickly settle in the low 20s if you’re pushing on. A realistic average for mixed driving is 28mpg. 18in Alloy Wheels - 10 Spoke - Rock Metallic,8in Touchscreen Colour Display,Airbag - Front Passenger,Airbags - Curtain,Airbags - Side Impact,Automatic Dimming Rear View Mirror,Bluetooth Handsfree Phone System,Colour TFT Instrument Cluster Display,Cruise Control with Adjustable Speed Limiter,EBD - Electronic Brakeforce Distribution,ESP - Electronic Stability Programme,Headlights - Adaptive,Headlights - Automatic,Headlights - Jet Wash,Headlights - Static Cornering Lights,Keyless Start,Parking Sensor - Rear,Steering Wheel - ST Leather with Red ST Logo,Suspension - Sports,Thatcham Category 1 Alarm,Traction Control,Tyre Pressure Monitoring System,Voice Control - Audio,Ford SYNC2 DAB Navigation System,19in Alloy Wheels - 5x2 Spoke,Rear Privacy Glass,ST Black Style Pack,Active City Stop,Driver Assistance Pack,Windsor Leather - Charcoal Black
