Driven: Ford Focus ST


Got a Ford Focus ST at the moment, and the rather vibrant Tangerine Scream paint job is dividing the children – is it yellow or orange? Whatever the answer, it’s an impressive bit of kit. Smart styling, with just the right amount of agression to leave space for an RS version, linked to performance that all but the most hardcore enthusiast will be happy with. It feels very solid on the road, loves to be pushed through corners and I can’t think of a model of its type with a more accomplished and sporty ride. Still not sure why Ford persists with the Sony audio system, other than it is contractually obliged to do so. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but it’s just ugly – too many buttons of different shapes and sizes.
