The Appeal
The appeal of a fast Ford is something that cannot be undersold. Models boasting impressive power and dynamic prowess blended perfectly with excellent practicality and all round usability is something which the Ford engineers have an unrivalled talent for developing and the second generation hot Focus, the ST-2 is certainly not one to deviate from that path.
Courtesy of its wonderful 2.5 litre five cylinder engine and supporting driveline, the Focus is a true icon of the fast Ford world and this low mileage, low owner 2005 variant in its resplendent metallic orange hue, is a prime example, enough to widen the eyes of just about anyone looking for a quality modern classic Ford.
