Registered on the 01/03/2015. The wonderful Focus with a bit of spice…
The facelifted Ford Focus ST has an amazing look. The slick white paint is stunning and the silver 19″ 5 spoke alloy wheels complement the colour so well. The front and rear ends are both so aggressive. The black grills, the strip of LED daytime running lights, the roof spoiler and the dual middle protruding exhaust pipes.
The ST is a performance car with backdoors and plenty of space! And that’s the reason everyone loves them. They’re practical yet sporty and boy do they shift! They really do have the best of both worlds and they’re so easy to live with. The interior of this focus has the brilliant SYNC 2 infotainment system with all the features you need. SatNav, Radio, a CD player, Bluetooth phone connection and you can even change your climate controls within the screen. It’s equipped with front Recaro sports seats that have the perfect balance between comfort and sportiness and it also has a double-textured leather-wrapped multifunctional steering wheel with indents on the rear for better grip.
Who likes paying taxes? No one. But sometimes you have to, so the best you can do is reduce the amount you pay and this is where the diesel ST comes into play because the CO2 emissions are only 110g/km, therefore, your tax bill each year will only be £46! Not to mention a claimed 67.3 MPG.
As with any Focus, driving is an absolute pleasure, this one just has a little more oomph. The diesel engine numbers are a little different to the petrol. 182hp and a massive 295lb ft of torque! So the answer to your question is yes, it still pulls like a train… The gearbox is one of the nicest feelings on the market. It slips into every gear with a smooth and solid feel. The suspension is so well set up. The weight of the car keeps it gripped around any corner and it stays planted yet the ride is actually comfortable on the roads. So much confidence and such a safe feeling are given out by this car.
The perfect “family” car.
