2012 Ford Focus ST First Look - Motor Trend

what a badass little car. Read the article, this thing comes packed with features, boosted, suspended and VERY affordable.

Nick911sc · 09-15-2011, 08:35 AM

For the price, that's a lot of car

seriously though, 250hp/tq, boosted, excellent fuel economy, all the bells and whistles that a fully loaded car should have AND less than 25k? mighty impressive methinks. The center exit exhaust looks pretty sweet as well.

So excited. I'm going to test drive one for sure. My DD is pretty beat up, and this is on my short list of candidates to replace it.

you already know the aftermarket for this thing is going to be good, Ford Racing is already developing parts, as well as Steeda. I'm willing to bet that this thing will make the same power the Mazdaspeed3 does for the same amount of cash. Intake/downpipe/tune, this thing should be at 300 to the wheels EASY. Power to weight, its going to be one quick grocery getter. Torque steer looks like it wont be an issue with the torque vectoring technology, there really is alot of tech involved with this car. Tell me how the test drive goes Shado, i'm curious to know before I order one from the military car sales dept. here. Also, rumor has it that an awd version will be available as well.

Dont seem too bad, for a Ford.

m4a1mustang · 09-15-2011, 11:08 AM

Having driven the current Focus, I'd say it's the best of the bunch when you compare it to the Civic, Corolla, Cruze, Elantra, etc.
