New Ford Focus ST 2020 review - is it a proper Fast Ford?

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Fast Fords have always majored on affordable fun - the current Fiesta ST proves as much - and the latest hot model from the blue oval is this: The new Focus ST. Along with some sharpened up looks, the new Focus ST features a clever anti-lag system that keeps the turbo spinning to improve throttle response. There are also adaptive dampers, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, standard-fit launch control and a multi-link rear axle, plus a flat-shifter and downshift rev-matching for the shorter-throw six-speed manual gearbox. Special Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres add to the performance tweaks. But is it any good and is it a proper Fast Ford? James Batchelor finds out

Don't really understand why this car so expensive for you guys. Here in Portugal it's the cheapest hot hatch you can buy. 41000 euros for the focus.
45000 for the hyundai.
51000 the Type R.
Off course already made my choice and I am waiting for the new ST. Sorry for my bad English. The -value for money- that is the worst part for England its the best part here ---

Serious question for anyone who knows. These cars that pump fake engine/exhaust noise into the cabin through the speakers - do they stop that when you actually listening to the stereo or do they continue to pump out crap through the speakers at the same time? Thus achieving the doubt whammy of irritating with its fakery AND messing up other audio?

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.

Anyone watching in the US or Canada, PLEASE call or write Ford Customer Service. Tell them we want the new generation Fiesta ST and/or Focus ST in the U. S. /Canadian market. If all their customers are telling them, they'll listen and bring us BACK these hot hatches. Thank you for your support in this petition effort!

Why compare it with a Hyundai? The real competitor is the Golf GTI which will be about the same money spec for spec (if not more. Call me a badge snob but I'll take the Ford any day, and fast Fords are known as being the best driver's cars, which is the whole point of this type of car!

Disappointing in my opinion with that screen stuck up like that instead of it being an integral part of the dash like is the case in my zetec s. I think they nicked that idea from Mazda, why? I have always liked the st but that has definitely put me off.

How annoying is the presenter!
He sounds like he should be in CBeebies.
And the noise isn-t fake, it-s just resonated towards the firewall, not FAKE noise pumped through the speakers like some cars do.

I wud choose this over a type r, megane rs, or hyundai i30n looks like a great car with enough room an enough performance for uk roads, would choose orange fury colour not keen on that blue -

Anyone know what colour this one is? In Australia there's one called 'Blue Panther' and I'm wondering if this is it. I think it might be 'Blue Metallic'.
