FORD FOCUS STBase price: $59,490$59,490 Powertrain and economy: 2.3-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder, 206kW/420Nm, 7-speed automatic, FWD, combined economy 8.6L/100km, CO2 198g/km (source: RightCar). When Ford confirmed that it would not be building an AWD fire-breathing RS version of the current Focus, it put the performance halo firmly on the ST. Damien O'Carroll/Stuff-co-nz The Focus ST is a serious performance car that is more than happy to do daily duty as well. Like the Megane, the Focus ST is available with an automatic transmission for the first time, and while the Megane is available as a five-door for the first time, the ST is only available in that particular body style. As a complete package the Focus ST does a wonderful job of being both a comfortable and effortless daily-driver and a seriously swift corner carver.
