- Ford’s reasonably-price hot hatch returns in all-new form, with an engine from the Mustang. After we were all wowed by the Focus RS, can the humble ST still impress? And does it have what it takes to beat rivals like the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Hyundai i30N, Honda Civic Type R and more? We went to France to find out.

Has anyone noticed that the car he's driving at 3:03 is blue (you can tell by the strip of paint in the door jamb) and the exterior shots are all of a yellow-orange car?
That’s what I was going to say.... I noticed the blue paint when he’s driving and then he’s standing by an Orange Fury.... 😂😂😂
Great insight with terrific camera work a joy to watch
Thanks! Make sure you're subscribed for more 😊
I think they were press shots cus the inside of the door looks blue not orange..
4:20 That's my choice colour. I love it.
It's a paradise for mincecraft builders, owning a car like this just because of building pixels. I have noticed car does not have old style door locking mechanism. Ford mk2 and mk3 naming is confusing, these cars has a name of previous generation. Interesting is how they reached better grip.
I've now had mine for a month and I'm very impressed. It's my third Focus ST (the previous ones were 2013 and 2017 models), and it's the best by a considerable margin. It sounds far better and it's great fun to drive. New features such as rev-matching are good, and (sorry to mention this if you only ever drive on deserted mountain roads), the adaptive cruise control and rear parking camera are useful in town. I like being able to set the driving mode to 'normal' for when my wife is with me and 'sport' when not. I look forward to every journey. If it's on your short list, make sure you have a test drive. I did, and I was lured away from the latest Type R.
I would buy the Focus ST if Ford would sell it in America. What a shame.
Great feedback
F in the chat for us Yanks who can't get the focus anymore...
Truly a shame...
Ford should bring the Ford Focus ST hatchback to India 🇮🇳.
2020 Ford Focus ST hatchback luks damn sexy & dope 🔥💓💎
I feel like With the previous generations Ford always took an element from the mk1, mk2 and added it on where as with the new 2019 model it’s like they just stole the design off a Peugeot or a KIA and said here we go, to actually put an ST badge on it as well, Lord knows what damage they will do to the RS I pray they don’t ruin that too.
Well you don't need to worry about that, Ford have stated that they don't currently plan on developing a MK4 RS Focus.
I like the looks of this one. Less yobbish even in orange
yes and i like the look of the rear..and they'll be plenty of after market goodies to bump up the power
So basically if you are thinking about the diesel ST just buy the st-line 2.0 150hp and do a remap ...
And Ford don't charge extra for Android Auto or Apple Car Play
Just wait for the new Focus RS
NV yes, if you don’t mind the punishing suspension 😵
how did this work out for you?
Sorry but the old focus is better looking
From a current MK3 owner who's just bought a MK4 I have to agree, but have you driven one?
Ford Should’ve Brought This To America! I’m Not Buying A CUV!!🙄
one qeustion, why is this 40 euroes in Norway, check ford.no yourself
40k
why why why are you talking about a diesel in this review! no one cares!
tell me a reason buying this st instead of audi s3😂😂🤣🤣
Reliability
Because this is about 15k cheaper? Seriously, what kind of stupid question is that?
Another reason would be that it's more fun. The S3 is quite boring to drive.
This one has an ST badge, while the Audi hasn't.
For starters it drives better in the corners and does better in moose test than s3
I know this is an old comment but they’re completely different categories of cars, yes they’re both hot hatches but so many differences, focus is a FWD manual car, whereas the s3 is an automatic 4WD car, not to mention the price difference 🤦♂️
the same price as the much faster rs what the hell are they thinking. almost 10k more than the previous st. this is backwards not forwards. who would fall for this bs? its like the fools buying into apple, pay more for less
Called inflation matey
Except I've just traded my 17 plate ST3.5 for the MK 4 and now paying £20 month less on the PCP. Discounts are already there if you look.
