Ford Focus ST 2020 Review - tested on road, ‘circuit’ and launched!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Introducing the all-new Ford Focus ST! The sporty brother to the family-friendly Focus rolls in with a 2.3-litre four cylinder turbo with 280hp, but that extra power doesn’t come cheap, coming in with a price tag of £32,000 - the same as a Civic Type R! So should you choose a Type R instead? Watch Mat’s latest review to find out!

Noise is good too on the interior, the induction noise is awesome! But, still has the silly central exhaust and doesn't pop and crack. Other than that, love it, and yes, torque steer is a little bit of a pain.

    The difficulty you experienced with the car wandering in the lane on the motorway is because you don’t have “lane centering” turned on. I checked your dash display and you have “lane departure” turned on, but there is another icon with a steering wheel displayed between 2 lane markings that is not illuminated. It will illuminate in the space between the lane departure & cruise control green icons on your dash. Turn it on and it will perfectly keep you in the centre of the lane. I just did a motorway trip in Australia (obviously not in an ST) and the lane centering was brilliant.

    William Bonsor never compare the shitty ford to an Audi, bmw of Mercedes. Ford doesn’t even come close mate. You’ve seen what happened to the focus rs. Fucking slow, gay looking interior like you. 🤮🤮🤮 lot of problems if you google Ford Focus 2017 problems. And yes I did have one and it drove like shit. Finally moved on to 140i much better.

    I rented a 2019 1 Series (not the ugly new one) last weekend and the car's ability to goad you into taking corners at ever increasing speeds, only to suddenly almost completely lose control if you push it just a smidge too far, was rather endearing. And this was with the traction & stability all switched on.

On top of that, this is Ford so discounts will be through the roof as usual. I already see dealers in Germany taking orders for this ST starting from 26k EUR. That's a ridiculous price for this car.

    @xIcarus2275 жыл бұрын

    No offense Mat, I really like your content but I don't think this review is very good. I think you made some mistakes that you usually don't make. It feels like the review is just incomplete. To start it off, you didn't test the 0-100 time. You just can't review this type of car without doing that. I understand you did the 0-50 and it's appreciated, but you could've tried 0-100 on the highway, or at least showing something like 40- 130 under hard acceleration when entering the highway. Secondly, I mentioned the 0-50 time. While we again appreciate it, you didn't launch the vehicle. When it launches the revs should hang around 3k RPM, they certainly do not hang around the redline. Launch control isn't always active in this car, it needs to be set up. Thirdly, the sound 'test' was just cringy. You are in a tunnel cruising at a good speed, we can't hear the engine properly, nor the exhaust. You didn't even give it a good rev so it can pop and crackle. Here's a video which actually puts the car through its paces, and it actually sounds quite good in my opinion: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d559w5Nte6rHZcY.html I also wish to mention that you just didn't highlight any of the car's strong points. Most reviewers praised it for how fun it is while also maintaining its composure if you're driving it in a normal fashion for example, or they praised it for the extremely sharp steering. I personally don't feel like I learned much about this car from your review, that's all. Were you unenthusiastic about this car? Again, I love your content and the highlight of this video was the humor which was freaking hilarious and spot-on. But I'm confident you can do a better job next time. Cheers, thanks for the video!
