Ford Focus ST 2 (2015) review
Still the hooligan of the hot hatch pack
Jan 2015
Likes:
- Entertaining driving experience linked to easily overwhelmed front tyres
- Figure-hugging Recaro sports seats best those of all rival cars
- New dashboard and console layout much improves the user interface
- Considerably cheaper than key rivals
Gripes:
- Busy ride quality can become irritating when cruising
- Visibility issues include an inconveniently-placed A-pillar
- Steering is a little too light for complete high-speed confidence
- Exhaust noise doesn't match the drama of the interior sound symposer
