The silky 2.5L V5 Turbo engine kicking out a solid 225BHP and 236 Lbs of torque means this motor makes effortless progress, the exhaust note under acceleration sounds fantastic.  The ride is comfortable at the expanse of the handling, this hot hatch is more at home covering hundreds of motorway and B-road mile than on a track, perfect for the cross continent road trip :-)
The ST3 model comes with top notch leather recaro heated race seats, a nice 6 CD changer and air con as standard.

its orange, and fast.

This is the second focus hatchback I've owned. In terms of handing, fun to drive, and
versatile - they are great cars. Reliability is good, though sometimes it takes time to iron
the quirks out - the car was built with UAW labor after all.

My first focus was an 02 - identical to this one - though the 07 has a different dashboard,
engine, and front clip than the 02. Some of the quirkiness was lost

it's small you can park anywhere !!
