What a great coincidence! Just 2-3 days ago we were driving on the N304 between Mondim de Basto and Aveção do Cabo and my partner told me: "We have to suggest this to our guests!" (We have a small hospitality service in the centre of Vila Real.) And now Ford confirms our feeling! As a local, I would suggest a few more roads: N222 between Peso da Régua and Pinhão, always a stone throw away from the Douro river, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage wine region; the M598 between Sabroso (Vila Real) and the old Tanha train station, along the Corgo, a tributary of the Douro; and the N313 between Santa Eulália (Ribeira de Pena), Alvadia (R. Pena) and Bobal (Mondim de Basto), in the Alvão mountains. The first suggestion is a bit heavier on traffic, but the other two are quieter.

Truth. My wife and I visited Madeira on our first trip to Europe. Driving was not relaxing on many roads. Part of it was we had a lousy rental car. But some of the side roads were downright scary.

That new focus though man i wish we have the focus in America again must be nice you guys have the car and we don't but i hopenwe get it back soon.

Unfortunately the Focus ST is super expensive in Portugal....Over 40k... Cool video though!

When I win Eurojackpot I will buy this beuaty and I will go from Slovakia to drive this road in Portugal. Focus ST is my dream, I love Ford. I had focus combi 2018 1.5 duratorq as a company´s car and it was a best car for me, I realy loved him and I miss him, he was my brother. I loose a job and bye bye focus ... That day will come and I will buy focus as a privat, but now nooo money for living because corona ...

Now you stir I love can you drive you really engaged every vehicle you drive

My dream... ❤ about car, and mayby road ;)

Welcome to Mondim de Basto!

I really wish we had got this car stateside. I would of bought it

Please sort out the registering of the new Focus STs in the uk. Waiting to pick mine up from the garage but all held up due to WLTP emissions certificates with the DVLA preventing any STs being registered! I want to drive mineeeeee!

Hello ford! I would like to know why did you change the head lights of the new ford focus to the darkest ones that are standard in st-line to all of trim levels such as titanium and trend or business, what is the main reason for that? Is it a question of marketing ? I would like to have a answer to my question!

So glad I bought my rs before they killed off the focus in the U.S.

FORD, please bring this and all the Focus Hatchback models back to the USA. They are much needed here and will sell a lot of cars for sure! Focus beats the Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3, etc.. it will be best in compact class. And the Focus ST will have no car even close to it in its performance hot-hatch class

...left hand Car , German Plate on IT , then pleased say 280 HP/PS or brexit...

Oh Steve, no drifting! What a shame and what a miss on such road. C’mon Ford allow the man to do what he does best - the ST’s rubber deserve a good spanking!
