The Focus is my rental of choice. Always enjoy driving it as the handling and steering feel are much better than I ever thought it would be. At least they didn't show it beating the M3! |

People buy BMWs because they have enough money to pay for them, not everyone can pick one up brand new, and CPOs are still quite pricey for some as well. Why spend X when you can pay Y and save Z for more important stuff?

Ford aimed this at car blogs where humorless German car fans would get riled up.
Judging by this thread and the thread over on Autoblog, it worked. Well done, Ford. I thought it was great. Additionally, the Focus ST is a fantastic car, and I would absolutely consider owning one as a daily driver/family car in the future, if it were all I could afford, for whatever reason. |

I drove the Focus ST yesterday at their Performance Academy thing. Fun little car! I wish I could steal the seats for my Miata. I believe it's truly the better car over the WRX, but sadly, the only reason I'm interested in the WRX is for the all-wheel-drive.. which makes the ST, in my mind, a non-starter as 'competition'. I love that the fun inexpensive car market is heating up again, and that Ford is bringing the ST to the US. I hope they sell a gazillion of them.. and in awesome colors like tangerine scream, because the world needs fewer boring cars. |

Creative clip... not sure how ST relates to the RS, but RS focuses are quite fast. I had one lightly modified keep up with my M (prior to SC. I had tune HFC, Xpipe), 80-160mph no prob. On the nurburgring I've seen those RS's fly pretty fast too.

4 wheels...... Standard
Power door locks......standard Windshield....... Standard Two other things I noticed 1. Where's her helmet 2. Where's the disclaimer about being a professional driver on a closed course

What I don't get is why they're comparing it to the Mazdaspeed3. It's the same damn car (it would be like comaring the Camaro to the Firebird pre-Pontiac-death). It's going to SUCK when modded. Torque-steer out the wazoo and serious traction problems with even mild power.
