Can a performance car be economical?
Should a performance car have a diesel engine?
Should Ford put an ST badge on their TDCi Focus?
Welcome to the Mk3.5 Ford Focus ST TDCi Powershift!
We have great experience with Ford's ST range, and we are big fans here at Accelerate. But, I've always questioned whether a diesel engined car can be called a performance vehicle.
With 185bhp & an impressive 400nm of torque, we were very intrigued. The addition of Ford's dual clutch transmission (powershift) makes this example a very rare one.
We were fortunate enough to be thrown the keys, to find out how good or bad the "best selling car of 2012" is.

I didn’t even know these existed until like 10 minutes ago and now I’m obsessed. The stock figures are pretty similar but damn i’d bet if you tune it properly the torque would be crazy. We never get small diesels in America. Very odd that it’s an automatic though… i thought all ST’s were 6 speed only. But again that’s here. Also those headlights! So cool why can we not have that here!?
Great review guys,, always fancied one of these 👌👍
I bought mine for fuel economy then stage 1 with Laird Performance to 241 BHP totally stock set up apart from RS air filter top lid box. The car is the most fun and reliable and handles so well. Down side is the 19 inch wheels that hit every fkn pothole hard.
Great video. I think the Focus ST diesel doesn't get the attenttion it deserves. Sick locking car with great styling, amazing drive characteristics and very economical as well.
Another awesomely edited video Kenny and Drew 👍 I love my 535d 3.0L twin turbo diesel, goes like F
Nice vid 👌🏻
I literally didn't even know this variant existed 😅 cracking review that is gents. Certainly good for thought 👍🏼
Thought I’d watch for a tribute to my ST diesel which looks exactly the same except it’s manual. I’m trading it in for a 67 plate petrol focus ST and it’s only got 16,460 miles on the clock in deep impact blue. Had the diesel 5 years never done me wrong and it’s fun to drive done 100,362 miles now but it’s still going strong had the belt battery and everything changed new brembo discs and brakes it will probably go to auction be a nice project as it’s got some great mapping options 👍😁
I've got one I've had 4 no problems ,great smooth ride especially on motorways 😅
Looking to buy one of these this month, as a 37 year old petrol head with a family and a long commute this ticks every box! Stage 1 remap will give me enough fun for the weekends plus wife will be happy with the tax and economy. Great car!
Another good video boys 🤙🏼
st diesel any day as the torque makes it a better car than any petrol.,,,BUT I would still have a manual
Not sure if it was intentional when yous mentioned corner lights and focused on the fogs lights but the corner lights on the mk3 with Xenons is in the main headlamp where the full beam light would be on non xenon model 👍
Looking to get one of these, started watching your video and was like I recognize that village behind him! Small world as im from the same area haha!
I want this now😍😍
Great car, great video presentation......i thought it was Eddie Hall behind the wheel!!!
Belle vidéo 👌 😉
Just sold my 2017 model for an Abarth 595 Competizione...I really liked it but I just wanted something a bit different after owning it for 6 years 😊
Bought one from new. Only the st3 had red callipers. The st2 and st1 didn’t. Just got mine up to 250 bhp ! From puma speed
I have one of these myself. Love it🥰
