Horrible Car

The Focus ST is a huge disappointment. I cant stand getting into this car each day. The interior is so tight I feel like I'm being squeezed in a vise. The center console intrudes into the cabin and there is no storage in the center console like most cars have. and the seats are hard and tight also. I have the recaros included with the ST3 package. Big mistake. they are very uncomfortable. The outward visibility is the worst I have ever seen in a hatchback. The windows are way to small, and the front windshield has this ridiculously huge slope. The car feels very heavy all the time, You can feel it when accelerating and is especially noticeable during corning. the steering is completely dead feeling and is overly twitchy. There is no Limited slip differential offered with this car so it just spins the wheels trying to get traction. I was coming from a 2003 Honda civic and i thought the focus st would be an improvement, but it is not even close to being as fun as that car. This car doesn't feel that much more powerful than my civic. Trying to live with this car is difficult because The turning radius is huge. 39 feet to turn is ridiculous. you will find yourself making a 3 point turn every time you try to park, and U turns are even more difficult to make. On top of all that the resale value is terrible. If your in the market for this type of car. There are much better options out there. Such as the Subaru WRX, Civic Hatchback or VW GTI. all are better alternatives to this crap ford.

I bought this car new, ST2 package. The car has been nearly flawless. One recall and a weird issue with the front axle, repaired under warranty. Otherwise has been extremely reliable, fuel efficient for the type of car, and the reasonable utility of a hatchback. Very fun to drive although the suspension can get a little annoying on longer drives on less than smooth roads. The shifter/transmission has been great with good, precise throws. Absolutely no regrets buying this car, only that I’ll have to be getting rid of it soon due to needing more room(kids/car seats).

The paint is lifting on hatchback. The car is a 2014 and only has 13,490 miles on it. They don't back there paint job from factory. Wood not recommend buying a ford. They don't want to back there paint jobs. They say guaranteed for 5year. That is only if they rust,. Not if the paint peals. I had a Chevy that the paint lifted and they made it right. Did not have to wait until it rusted. To have Chevy paint and fixes the problem.

The focus st was great when I first bought this car, after 10,000 miles it turned into a nightmare. Constant problems that haven’t been resolved even after I have spent thousands. I cannot wait to trade this car in

Always check the vehicle history. Fine print tells you the Carfax isn’t always completely true.
