2007 Ford Focus User Reviews

I Love It, An All Around Great Car--sporty, Cool Looking, Agile, Afordable And Fast. — I have the 2007 ST, it is not the Euro spec ST (as in Volvo 2.5 turbo), but it's powered by Mazda developed (2.3). Its power and specially low rpm torque is more than adequate, better still can be easily improved. The car handles great and is very comfortable to drive at high speeds. It's very stable and responsive (the euro spec ST & SVT heritage helps here). Brakes are also very good with 4 wheel disk and ABS. The winter package adds traction control & heated seats (toasty). The optional Sony speaker stereo w/ the sub sounds great. Overall I found the car very well optioned for the price. It's a normal every day car, but they don't have to be boring. This one is surely not--I look forward to drive it as much as possible!

Primary Use: Family transportation

Focus St — Ford's attempt at a hot hatch to suit the petrol head and family man! Ford successfully manage to blend both of these to form the Ford Focus ST, basically, the possibility to take the kids to school and drive home with your pants on fire. With a 0-62 time of 6.5 and a top speed of 149 its pretty hard not to. To date the only other two cars produced by Ford UK with a top speed higher than 150 are the GT40 and GT. Build quality has improved drastic from Fast Fords of past, materials have a feel of German quality. The Focus ST's appearance is head turning, you won't mistake it for the inferior models. Cost of ownership is relatively cheap, since the big blue oval set out to produce a family car, although consumption is a bit high. The car edge's the driver to push harder and drive faster. Fun factor is 10/10, brilliant handling due to it's highly sophisticated fully independent multi-link rear suspension (dubbed "Control Blade"). This setup allowing comfort and taut. Although the being so heavy the Focus does have a reputation for being wayward in a corner, but releasing the accelerator briefly will send the car into a controlled lift off oversteer.

07 Focus S — The car is great, handles awesome. With the base 2.0l you only get 130hp its kinda lacking. the gas and maintenance to the car is very little. It has a 14 gallon tank and gets about 26 to 28 miles per gallon in the city and 32 to 35 on the highway.

High Performance For Every Day. — I don't like front wheel drive cars. That's what I was convinced of until I drove this Focus ST. I was stunned. The test drive went over an asphalt rally stage road in the Ardens. I had never driven the car before and didn't know the road. Nonetheless the Focus gave me instantly the feeling that I could rely on it and it would help me to driver better and faster. Incredible performance, not the horsepower, but the surging Nm's that are available at low revs make it so good. The handling is sublime. No spinning wheels although it was very wet, but grip grip grip. The fun factor is so high I would not doubt for a second to buy one of these in the 5d version as a family car. The Ford reseller surely knew what he was doing when he surprised me by proposing immediately to have a test drive...
