The Appeal
The Focus ST was a big hit for Ford, with stellar reviews from the press and excellent sales it’s a winner and it’s easy to see why. The combination of a modest price tag, a responsive chassis and a fantastic five-pot engine that gives more smiles per mile than any front wheel drive car has a right to, the Focus ST delivered on all fronts.
Of course the combination that has made the ST such a hit has also led to a proliferation of used examples that have been hammered by a large number of successive owners, making this ST-3 a truly stand-out find. With low mileage, only three owners from new, fully loaded with all of the options and equipped with desirable approved Mountune enhancements, it’s everything you could possibly want in one of these legendary hot hatches.
