Ford Focus ST full review: https://aex.ae/2XG3lKz

Fast Fords have always majored on affordable fun – the current Fiesta ST proves as much – and the latest hot model from the blue oval is this: The new Focus ST.

Along with some sharpened up looks, the new Focus ST features a clever anti-lag system that keeps the turbo spinning to improve throttle response. There are also adaptive dampers, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, standard-fit launch control and a multi-link rear axle, plus a flat-shifter and downshift rev-matching for the shorter-throw six-speed manual gearbox. Special Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres add to the performance tweaks.

But is it any good and is it a proper Fast Ford? James Batchelor finds out.
