Worse service possible. Paid 3000$ for extended warranty. It started w the local dealer losing paperwork, and never was found, hope they did the work they said. Next the dealership i bought the car at put stripped lug-nuts on the car. Was a a treat watching the tire shop guys getting them off. And most recently Autonation Ford in Valencia,CA lost my key and it was somehow my fault. Was able to drive car off lot but once turned off would not start due to lack of key in vehicle. They blamed me for losing my key and that's where they left it. So 400$ wasted on top of $3000. My drivers seat is broken and don't trust any dealership to fix. When i contacted Ford customer service i was told each dealership is independent so there is nothing they can do. Feel like i was taken pretty good by Ford. Love the car JUST DON'T GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY UNLESS YOU LIKE GETTING RIPPED OFF AND SUB PAR WORK. DON'T FEEL SAFE GETTING WORK DONE AT ANY FORD DEALERSHIP.

I like driving my Ford Focus ST, but I am very disappointed at the inside of the car. At first glance, the interior looks well made and noise free, but with less than 3 months I started to hear noises from the rattling of the back seat and after two dealership inspections, the only fix I was offered was to wrap the metal hook that latches the back seat with electrical tape to silence the rattling. withing 6 months, noises started to come from middle dashboard, the snap on style panels are poorly made and rub against each other. Other things also came to my attention, such as the upgraded Recaro bucket seat does not fit in the seat area, so when the seat is moved around the sides get smashed on the doors and armrest. Also, the moonroof sliding door rattles and makes noises. Mechanically speaking, the car is very fun to drive, but this car makes way too much rattling noise for age and condition of the car, and I drive mostly on reasonable roads. Additional Review later - Over the years, the roof panel is coming unglued and rattling more and more as the days goes by, so this car has proven to be very poorly finished with material and quality only good enough to last until you leave the dealership parking lot. Included with the poor quality/reliability of the cars interior is the fact that within less than 1 year of owning the car, it has been under 3 recalls, ranging from simple things as Nav Controler board to very serious issues such as cracks on doors locks that if broken, it would allow the door the open with the vehicle in motion, which Ford considered a non-serious issue and took about ~3 years to fix the known issue. And by the way, Ford does not give you a replacement car when the car needs to be fixed while under warranty or recalls, no matter how long it takes for the to fix it. (This was also experienced with my other car, a Ford Edge which I purchase this year brand new and the bumper is peeling. They want to keep the car for at least 3 days and refused to give me a replacement car so that I can go to work.) I love the mechanics and how the car drives, but I am so annoyed by the new noises that the lose interiors makes and the complete lack off Customer Service from Ford Motor Company and dealers (some of the personnel in the dealers try to help, but they hit walls within the company structure or bureaucracy), that my next car will NOT be a Ford. In short, I DO NOT RECOMMEND a ford unless you are going to strip the interior and never deal with them. Cheers and Good Luck.

Car is okay. I've had it for about 5 years now and have experienced more issues than I ever have in my 90s model cars. Head gasket, turbo seal, 3 water pumps, and a mysterious coolant issue that I can't figure out. I'm a mechanic and have done absolutely everything to figure out where I'm losing coolant and no luck. I've had it looked at by many mechanics at other shops as well across 3 different states and everyone is puzzled. Handles great, fun little sports car for a new driver for sure. If you have experience with sports cars, you won't find anything about this car to be special. I wish I never bought this thing to be honest. Has been headache after headache.

Remember this car is a CORNER KING! Therefore, the car will feel much tighter compared to the base Focuses. Turbo has virtually no lag, and this car is so cheap to modify and personalize it! The leather recaros are a very nice addition, only downside is if you are a bit wider, you may feel like your gripped too hard by the recaro seats. I’m 6’ 2” and fit well in the front and back seats. But overall this car rocks

I've had the car for almost nine months and five thousand miles now resulting in the opinion that I do indeed like the car. Car handles great, the ST3 Recaro seats feel amazing (as does the heat when it is cold) and everything fits together well. Everyone that has gone for a ride in it is surprised at how nice the interior is. People walking by tell me how much they like the Performance Blue (blurple) and overall look of the car. Traded in a modded 350Z for it and I don't feel like I've really given up anything and gained far more than just torque steer. Update: At this point I've owned the car now for about 25 months and I've put roughly 13,800 miles on my car. What have I learned? My mpg aren't what they should be, but mostly because my commute is so short that by the time the engine is really warming up I'm parking my car. When resetting after getting gas when the engine has warmed up it is easy to do 25 mpg while driving around in town. Otherwise I'm sitting closer to 20 mpg. On the freeway I've been getting about 30 mpg going with traffic. Responds to mods well, especially throwing on a tune. It's amazing how much more power you can get from just a tune. Definitely helps give a few more smiles to the mile. Still enjoy the car and plan on having it for a long time to come.
