Very informative video. I love my 2018 ST2. It is quick and handles like it is on rails! I only have about 20,000 miles on it so far. GREAT car for the money!
Excellent and informative video. I drive Ford Focus Mk3 150 HP 6 speed manual and I'm in love with it. Ford Focus Mk3 or Mk3.5 is the best car for me out there. I am certainly looking for an ST to own besides my current Focus.
Awesome vid Mark, I’m liking the format. Used car reviews with a mix of daily driving practicality vs. weekend/autocross performance is a good combination.
Great review. Get some Michelin PS4S tires and the wheel spin in 2nd and 3rd is gone. The stock Goodyear F1s are junk. The HID lights are on the ST2 as well, at least in later years. I have a 2018 ST2. The hood gap issues were fixed in the 2015 and later models. I got an ST2 because of the part cloth Recaros. They were way more comfortable than the full leather ones.
Excellent review! The added detail of the heel&toe not being that easy is minor but a good thing to note, though in my case this would replace my daily if I got one, as I already have a project car. Cheers from down Under!
Yes, absolutely the best value hot hatch, pass-as-a-family-car. Im in the UK: mine has a Ford fitted brand new engine with full 'as new' warranty with Mk3.5 'recall' coolant hose ( sic 'new engine'). New Ford OEM: clutch, gearbox, turbo. Eibach pro1 kit which are progressive sport springs (normal driving until pushed) on 17' EcoSports. My vehicle can't run out of power or grip. Its for sale. Ps for this video, the stupid air filter means 'do not buy' & the Mazda is based on the Ford not the other way round.
Yes, Ford did offer an ST trim level on the 1st generation Focus, however in this video I'm referring to 2013 being the first year of the Focus ST model with the turbocharged Ecoboost engine.
@@BeingNicc I like white too. But I think the focus st in white is beautiful as it is but as soon as u add those trash looking wheels, paint part of the bumper black and the wing black I think it looks horrible. But that’s subjective if you like than you like it
By far, the best review I've seen on the Focus ST!

Awesome video. 👍
Thanks for the kind words!
You should never use boost below 3k RPM’s. 👍🏼
Pretty sure the first st came out in 2005

Love the focus and fiesta st. But this is the ugliest one I’ve ever seen
Yeah it wasn't the prettiest example, but it was what I had at the time ;)
Dang...I thought it was nice. Love the white
