Used 2015 Ford Focus ST Consumer Reviews

HOT HATCH

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

It's not worth the problems

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.

Amazing bang for your buck.

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.

Lower car insurance rates for reals tho!

Overall comfort in buying this car was fine, except the dealer all the way to the bank were pushy yet not friendly and pushy. From that point, Ford was not at all the outstanding company I can remember from the chance of riding to town in my grandfather's ranger pickup. All the way to the moment I got a bit extra play with the steering wheel (of my focus ST), and my family had been Ford consumers for a majority of my life... since then my car has been in the shop more than not and I'm not exaggerated! It is just so awesome to have a little time to get out and enjoy the driving experience and I hear it could have been a way better experience had I bought a later model st by two months even. But instead I bought the 2014 one! Drivetrain, powertrain and body module issues down to the mechanical interior and exterior recalls this Ford is crap entirely bunk from the ground and to the roof top junked all the way! I paid 22grand for a lemon and I was just told to make lemon juice cause Ford was not there for me to get it back on the road. Big shout out to Newport Power Ford for their non competent team of cohorts who barely sneezed by with an mechanical aptitude test let alone an age automotive excellence degree.. I say there is no worse company from the inception of my purchase up until the last service that I had to be charged exorbitant fees for keyfobs that I could have replaced as a leiman or not knowledgeable about the issues at hand. By the last 7 week turnaround with no replacement driving vehicle or loaner car in the time being, I was offering up the way to repair the car and get it back to me soonest and they didn't heed my advice to boot and ended up admitting it was good info to help get it fixed! I say screw Ford and I will have to avoid any Ford that would have been a car of mine in my family for years to come.. need I say more? Thanks Ford motor company for dropping the ball on all fronts!!! I bid you adieu!!
