2017 Ford Focus ST

The 2017 Focus is Ford's compact car, offered as a sedan or hatchback and competing with the Civic and Corolla. It's a nimble little car that handles city streets with ease, though the ride can feel a bit firm on rough pavement. Inside, the Focus has a clean, simple cabin with supportive seats and a surprisingly roomy back seat for its size. The ST is the hot hatch of the Focus lineup, sitting above the SE, SEL, and Titanium trims with a sport-tuned suspension and a limited-slip differential. Its 2.0L I4 makes 252 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, enough to hit 60 mph in the low six-second range, and it returns 25 mpg combined.
