2005 Ford Focus ST review from North America
"Fun to Drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all. The car has run perfectly since I bought it. I got hit in a parking lot by someone, but he admitted fault and he paid for the cosmetic repair. Buttons on the radio have worn out, can't really read some of them, but not a big deal.
General comments?
The handling is excellent, power is really good out of a 4 cylinder. 151 horsepower, so it doesn't blow away everything on the road, but you have plenty of power to pass and accelerate on highways. The manual transmission has a great feel. Car really sticks to the road.
