StangBang Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Love it! The 2012 Focus Titamium we have is already a great car.. The ST takes it over the top! These are the cars I always thought Ford should have been building! I remember many years ago saying how Ford should make their cars like the ones they have in Europe. I also remember all the opposition and the naysayers that said it cannot or would never be done... And that American drivers would not buy them despite the fact that Ford's competition had been selling virtually the same Euro vehicles in the US very successfully. All I can say is Hallaloooyah! The Focus is no longer a low rent easy finance shitbox! Edited February 10, 2012 by StangBang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timinac Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 What annoying music when you really just want to hear the car! Loved the counter-steering in the curves starting at 3:00!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GapBoyPCS Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Did anyone catch what was on the dash LCD display @ 2:21? I couldn't figure out what four things were trying to say - it sort of looks like DTE, average fuel economy, and two other figures. Oh, and I think this week's Top Gear UK has The Sweeney episode in it i.e. the Focus ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
