2005 Ford Focus ST review from North America
"A great car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed front end alignment at 23250km. Dealership covered the cost.
General comments?
I am very impressed with the car's handling. The traction control kicked on once while going around a corner, but I was going very fast.
The engine definitely has a lot more torque than the 2.0. It shows on the highway.
