2007 Ford Focus ST-3 review from UK and Ireland
"High performing, extremely versatile and a genuine performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Nothing serious so far.
- Seat has developed mild movement (Very slight).
- Creaking door seals (on a hot day the car creaks from window seals).
General comments?
Very quick car with a lot of torque low down in the rev range, which enables a very lazy driving style, and makes it feel like a GT car.
Very practical, with plenty of room in boot, and it even comes with 5 doors if you need them.
Responsive handling for a FWD car in any condition.
An all round versatile car, which is excellent at eating large mileage, attacking the road, & nipping around town. You can really tell a lot of research has gone into developing this car.
