Interior quality-wise the Ford feels on par with most rivals, though probably a touch behind the Golf, but its chassis outshines all of them until you start looking at the hot versions.
#2018 FORD FOCUS ST PLUS#
The key cars however are the VW Golf, Peugeot 308, Renault Megane, Vauxhall Astra and Honda Civic, plus the Korean Hyundai i30 and Kia Ceed pair and numerous others besides. Rivals are too numerous to fully list - this is one of the most competitive market segments in Europe. ST-Line X bumps the alloys up to 18in and adds darkened glass, partial leather trim, heated seats, navigation and more. ST-Line standard kit includes 17in alloy wheels, a heated windscreen, a body styling kit, sports suspension and keyless start, along with some other visual tweaks over lesser Zetec-badged cars. ST-Line X models, where the 180bhp engine becomes available, are £25,300 and £26,400 for hatch and estate, while adding an automatic transmission to the less powerful pair (it’s not available on the top engine) is £1390. The one you may want is the car tested here, the ST-Line hatchback and estate, which cost £22,050 and £23,150 respectively in 148bhp form. It also rises as high as £30,340 for the 2-litre 148bhp diesel Vignale estate, equipped with an automatic transmission. While not the last word in interaction, it’s about as good as you’ll find in a conventional car, though it’s worth turning off the irritating Lane Centring technology that can nudge the wheel this way and that if it feels you’re too close to road markings.įocus pricing kicks off at £17,930 for the Focus Style with an 84bhp 1-litre EcoBoost engine. At the same time, it remains unaffected by torque steer or mid-corner bumps, as well as being light enough around town and stable enough on the motorway. It feels light at first but the weighting is consistent and builds naturally through corners, delivering a reasonable approximation of feedback, quick (but not hyperactive) responses to your inputs, and a precision that lets you control the car’s direction confidently from corner entry to exit. > Click here for our review of the Honda Civic It’s an improvement over its slightly disappointing predecessor, and makes you wonder why companies like Audi and Mercedes-Benz, with all the resources at their disposal, can’t deliver a ride and handling balance that gets anywhere close to a car costing thousands less. The Focus is not one of those cars, and probably sets the dynamic benchmark in this class right now.

In any of its forms, the Focus doesn’t quite top its class, but it is still worth your consideration.Conventional, non-performance cars have become so competent in the last decade or so that it’s difficult finding ones that corner or perform with anything other than studious obedience to your commands and a distinct lack of fun. The AWD RS is a ferocious performance machine with formidable capabilities, but its uncompromising nature and steep price tag make it a vehicle for serious enthusiasts. The ST promises lots of muscle, but we were a bit disappointed in the front-drive car’s ability to get it to the road. Focus prices range from class-competitive to surprisingly expensive for loaded Titanium models.
#2018 FORD FOCUS ST MANUAL#
We like the manual transmission more than the automated manual. Focus is a sporty, fun-to-drive compact that can be ordered with some unexpected high-end equipment. (Ford also sells an electric version of the Focus at select dealers, see separate report.) Available equipment includes active park assist, heated steering wheel, blind-spot alert, lane-departure mitigation, and cross-traffic alert. A six-speed manual is the only transmission choice for both ST and RS. The ST has a 252-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and the RS packs a 350-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Also available is a fuel-efficient 123-hp turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine that mates to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 160-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder that is paired with a five-speed manual or six-speed automated-manual transmission. All Focuses are front-wheel drive except the all-wheel-drive RS. There is also a sporty ST model and a high-performance RS–both of which are hatchback only. The Focus is available as either a four-door sedan or a four-door hatchback, in trims ranging from base S to well-equipped Titanium.
