Long Term Report: Ford Focus ST #8

Updated


With the best part of 250bhp going through the front wheels and a wonderful propensity to allow a bit of spin – just like hot hatches of old – before the traction control kicks in, I'm impressed how kind the ST has been on its tyres.

A shade under 20,000 miles and the tyres are just getting to the point where replacements will be needed. Not that I need one, but it's another reason why I'm considering putting my hands in my pockets and buying Ford's latest hot hatch.
