I had a FBO 18 Focus ST and loved that car. Nice to see Ford put that 2.3 in the ST. Really a shame we don't get these in the states, I think they would still sell but muh SUV and pickups.
This is so backwards, Ford not selling these hatchbacks in the States is like VW not selling the GTI in Germany.
The Focus is a Ford of Europe product though.
Considering the st hatches we got here were the third gen focus st and rs and i think the gen 2 fiesta st. Most fast fords are european we only really had the mustang
Also the seirra cosworths and the escort cossies and the mondeo st200/220 all euro models while the taurus sho and svt contour were similair thay still werent as fast
We need this car in the states, I had the Fiesta St and loved that car. We here in the states need to write Jim Farley and let him know there are still people who want a turbo 4 that’s not a mustang…..
Why is the presenter rushing when talking? Not very clear
Am I missing something but where is Nicola hosting Auto Express videos?
Nicola left Auto Express at Christmas and now writes reviews for Electrifying 😊
It would be nice to see Nicola in tight jeans🙏
I was wondering that too 😂
is the track pack available for the ST wagons?
Apparently not!
i've just ordered one can't wait to get it :)
Change the piping to the turbo and exhaust. Get a proper intake and higher coils. It really wakes it up
Congrats!! Many miles to enjoy! I ordered mine also! Mountune M330 kit going straight on it and M365 upgrades over time! 🎉🎉
I wish we got these in the states! I love my 2016 st but just knowing that it will continue to age and i can never upgrade to a newer model is sad to think about.
Pulling the plug on hatchbacks by Ford is so sad. I reside in Southern Africa and the ST has a huge following here especially in South Africa. The latest Focus ST and focus for that matter are no longer sold here. Therefore Ford guys are jumping ship in favour of VW, Hyundai and those who are growing up are going for BMW and Audi for example.
The front and silhouette looks like a Cupra Leon 😅
The same Car that you Video Reviewed also featured In this week’s Issue of Auto Express and Tested against the Hyundai i30 N 😊
What was the verdict at the end?
@@villaadogST track pack edged it - better value, actually cheaper to finance and over all a better experience.
Of course, we can't get these in the US because almost everybody here has to drive a pickup truck, crossover or SUV to bully others and boost their egos. It's f'in annoying.
I feel sorry for you that you can't buy the best handling fun cars
Don't worry. In a short time period, in Europe we won't have them either. Politics said electric cars for all people, or no cars.
@@pokest225 electric cars for now and in few years no cars for us.
Maaannnnn why i gotta live in the states 😭😭😭😭😭
is anyone else struggling to make out what the presenter is saying? speaking way too fast for me!
Yeah ans lost interest after he said the engine isn't good as its mega
TOP CAR, D+, 1ST!
🍪
Good points made, feedback - speak a bit slower, clearer, a bit more tonal variation....it takes a bit too much concentration to follow what you are saying (even as a petrol head) as compared to Nicola, Rory Green, etc
Wheres gorgeous nicola gone?. Her reviews are so funny!
shes working at electrifying now
This wasn't a great review.
Every time he mentions wheels and suspension and how better it was he hit a hole or a large bump.
Good review.
Americans want the Focus ST back.
Megane RS 300?
Already discontinued according to some journalists. The "Ultime" series is probably sold out now.
Keeps referring to the CTR, but a CTR is an equivalent to an RS?? Also got a 10 to 15k price difference.
An ST is the equivalent to a GTi or a Leon Cupra or Skoda VRS.
Honda fanboy was the wrong person to review this car
I love Ford. In a multi generational Ford family but my god their decision making sucks
Where's Nicola?
Really poor review with the bulk rambling on about the track pack, plus its badly edited with the engine noise clearly accelerating, whilst the video shows you changing down to 2nd.
How about a review which just says how it drives as a daily, the quality of the paint & interior, rather than the reviewer clearly just trying to look like a good driver?!?!
10% lighter rims, new tires, improved suspension.
Nothing a good neighborhood garage can't do.
On the other hand, engine, gearbox and steering from a tractor.
Well done Ford, you've done it again. 🤡
your wrong about the quality off the interior , okay ist not a bmw like quality , but if you compare the ford with the honda and the golf , there just on the same level , golf isnt what it once whas , honda is very good build , but also uses cheap plastic on the inside , ford has decent quality dash, steeringwheel, centerconsole , and some cheaper plastics , but whats cheap with ford is most of the time in a black colour witch looks better than the golf grey styl plastics
also the engine and gearbox are amazing , just the same for how the steering feels , the problem is , people need to learn how to drive those cars , you have to learn the feeling , and thats different compared to the golf,cause it comes in auto...gearbox
the focus is a drivers car
Comparisons to the Honda are moot when there's 10k between them brand new, and the Type-R will make you look like a bit of a pleb if you're over the age of 35.
Can you please talk more quickly 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A video about how the driver changes gears. In Turkey every “perfect taxi or dolmuş drivers” change gears like that. Might be your worst review ever. Well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Where is Nichola, she should have been doing this? I didn't enjoy listening to this guy. The Ford though, well it's Tony the Tiger
40k omg think what you could get second hand new car prices are a joke, and can't you get a AMG 35 for 43k? New
This guy is talking way too fast!
bring back the female journalist... please!!
Power unchanged.
Tuned engine would give 225 kw - 300hp….
Bring back Nicola. Unsubscribing
Yet another ICE dinosaur for the archives, switch it up a few notches will yah and get clean .... More EV reviews needed to educate the knuckle draggers
Greta, it's you?
@@manuelrusu7052 Hey dragger it's you !
electric engines are the dinosaurs, it's an older technology, with no future. They are just crap performance wise, why do you think F1 is not electric? EV should be used only for commuting in large cities, people shouldn't be forced to buy a less effective and more expensive technology.
@@FefyGT you are very short sighted
@@troyboy4345 you can continue getting famoosed by Elon.
