Ford Focus ST

The Focus ST belongs on any enthusiast’s short list, combining a high fun-to-drive factor with the versatility of a five-door hatchback; that’s why we’ve named it a 10Best in the past. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard, as is a six-speed manual gearbox. The ST shines on a winding road or track and offers decent efficiency and value. However, torque steer is still an issue, and the optional MyFord Touch is confusing.
