The Focus ST is quick and entertaining, and while not a class leader it’s a great hot hatch all-rounder -
The ST is relatively well equipped, with the later cars coming with 19-inch alloys, LED front and rear lights, Ford Performance heated seats and steering wheel, and Ford’s Sync 4 navigation system.Up until the ST’s facelift in late 2021 there were two engine choices – petrol or diesel – and both were available in the hatch and the estate. The pick of the pair is the 2.3-litre four-cylinder EcoBoost that can be mated with either the standard six-speed manual or optional seven-speed automatic.
The diesel is a 2-litre and isn’t anywhere near as punchy as the petrol model but offers a respectable 0-62mph time of 7.6sec and a top speed of 137mph, but most buyers will be far more concerned about its economy potential which nudges 60mpg if driven sensibly.The third generation of Focus ST wasn’t the best of fast Fords, but its deficiencies – poor traction and slightly underwhelming engine – have certainly been attended to for the Mk4.
Ford servicing shouldn’t break the bank and there are service plans available to spread the cost. Ford’s warranty isn’t as generous as some, covering just three years or 60,000 miles .The interior of the Mk4 ST is a step up from the previous generation, and while the quality of materials and fit and finish might not quite be up to Volkswagen levels it’s still a pleasant place to sit and you shouldn’t feel desperately short-changed.
