Hell yeah torque steer is cool. You push the gas hard, you ride the bull for a little bit. It's part of the charm of this car. It's not a race car, it's a fun street car with pep in its step. It's lively. Man I love my ST.

Reach into the depths of where the seat buckles are from, and pull up, the bottom cushions will fold fwd, then remove head rests and the rears should fold flat as long as the front seats are forward enough)

I watched y'alls review before I bought mine and it really convinced me. 20k miles later, I'm watching this again and it made me wanna go drive it. All the points you made are pretty spot on. Cannot for the love of god, heel toe this damn thing. That's the most disappointing. I do feel though that y'all need to expand more about different trim levels. I didn't really care that much but I was surprised to find that the base trim doesn't have many of the interior amenities that you guys mentioned.

For anyone complaining about the seats not folding flat, they do. There's a hinge on the base of the back seats, fold them forward and the seat backs are able to lay flat.
@perrybeyer7531
@perrybeyer7531 7 лет назад
I picked up a 2017 Focus ST, ST1 base trim with the optional wheel upgrade like the ones in the video, about a month ago. I love these wheels! They really compliment the color of my shadow black ST. As others have mentioned, Ford has great incentives going right now. I paid $19,812 for a base ST with a sticker of $26,175 at a dealer in Wisconsin. Great review guys. You were pretty much spot on with your impressions of the car. The seats in the base ST are very comfortable, but you give up the Sync 3 touchscreen and Sony sound system, no sunroof is available and you get fixed halogen headlights, not the directional HID's. It's a shame Ford isn't more flexible with the options. Still for $20K, you will not find a new car that is this quick, fun, practical and the fuel economy doesn't completely suck. I love my base ST with no frills... because you know...race car!

A used 2015 would be around $18,500 or higher for the same equipment in this market. I feel like I stole it and drive it like I did all the time! Thanks for the review guys. It was one of the videos I watched while researching this car and helped push me over the edge to go test drive one. One test drive in an ST will sell you this car. The way it pushes you back in your seat when you floor it and the handling is too good for a FWD car. Keep up the great work guys. I'm subscribing for sure. The quality and content of the videos you produce are constantly improving and are fun to watch.

I love the Recaro's in my ST3. They fit me perfectly (5'11", 175 lbs), but if you're bigger than, say 200 lbs, you might be a little wide for the bolsters. I can drive 5 or 6 hours at a time without getting uncomfortable at all. Also shimmed the gas pedal a little, so I toe/heel all the time. Watching this 3 years later to the day.

​@Marzimus congrats. I expect you'll be happy with the car. I still love mine with 152,000 miles. Recaros have worn very well and I still think they are the best seats of any car I've ridden in. Mine has been 100% reliable-- ZERO unscheduled maintenance, ever, so far. Was thinking of getting a Mustang GT at the end of this year, but why part with $40K for a used one that really isn't any more fun than the ST?

Apparently the seats actually do fold completely flat. You have to lift the seat BOTTOM FIRST, then lower the seat backs and it'll lay perfectly flat. To do this, you still must remove the headrests. Spoiler alert, I no longer have this car but I definitely miss it and wouldn't mind picking up another ST or even RS in the future.@@TheStraightPipes

As a (virtually stock) 2014 ST owner, I want to share a tip for off the line full-throttle acceleration specifically for rainy weather... Hint: Skip 2nd gear! Here's what you do to get the best acceleration in the WET... Start off in 1st (gingerly) to get going, then skip 2nd gear into 3rd and then floor it and you're gone! Third gear has just the right acceleration on wet pavement w/o spinning the tires. Happy driving! ♫

@jsperan49 7 лет назад
great review guys! Awesome work with intro and outro. One request. Can you try to do more comparisons with ratings in the future vs other cars? Each review I always feel like you like/love the car but I can never really judge which cars you liked better than others. For example, the Elantra sport review you both seemed to love it and didn't have many complaints, but in the focus st review you had a few minor issues with the car. At the end of the day I can only assume which one you liked more.... I think it would help a lot if every review you would take 3-4 cars in the same cost area and do a quick comparison using points perhaps? Even just a general comparison would be cool. You did compare to the Kia so thank you for that.

Great review of one of the best factory cars ever made. This car looks SO good, that it seems like Chevy, Hyundai, Kia, and probably three other manufacturers have produced compact cars that don't even bother hiding the fact that they made them to look as much like the Focus ST a possible without being sued.LOL! Performance-wise, its very clear why there have been no drive train changes. Much like Porsche, when you build a car properly, you don't change it every 2 years... It does boggle my mind that they don't make a "BLACK" version that comes with one of hundreds of bigger, better turbo/ ic/ bov combos. I have to admit though, the only negative comment about mine is that it rides like crapola, and no one seems to mention it. I've never driven a car that can make people sick(self included), when driven spiritedly. One would think that, after the car started earning, Ford would have an optional magnetic suspension upgrade.

The ST is actually even more lively after the break-in period is done on the engine. I drove a 2018 last fall, and while it was very nice, it didn't exactly blow my socks off. I ended up buying a 2014 ST3 from the same dealership in November that only had 26,000 km's on it, and it felt night and day over the newer car that wasn't broken in yet. Then, when I tried it for the first time with the TCS off (in sport mode), the car was even faster than I expected, and after incinerating my front tires going uphill in 2nd and 3rd to get onto the 417, I was already about to hit a licence losing velocity before shifting from 4th to 5th. These cars an absolute riot, easy to live with, and very reliable if you maintain them as you should. I have no regrets, and like the earned street-cred that these cars get from other petrolheads...

@malifestro7596 7 лет назад
I just got rid of my 2016 and concur. It's really really good. The bad part is the seats sit to high and the seat pan is to tilted. The heel toe shifts can be fixed with a cheap mod to fix the position of the throttle, but then all the pedals feels like it is too close. The clutch spring is stupid and should be fixed. As for noise a simple mod to open up the intake with a green filter and a ram air induction and it is quite a lot louder and people completely hear it a turn around. I always thought they heard the exhaust until I lent my car to someone and realized the induction noises are epic. So yah it is really good, and a few small tweaks would make it epic. Ford should fix it and I'd come back for an encore. Good review guys!

Totally kidding, couldn’t resist a bro joke. You guys rule and I hope you two get a performance package upgrade named after your awesome show.

3 weeks ago i bought 2017 ST3 estate diesel. Does not sound as good as petrol one but it's a hell of a fun car. Great choice for daily family car. Loving it and actually right side volume controls are ok for me... i might be the only one... beside Ford designer ;)

Great review, guys! The ST seems like a pretty solid choice in it's class. Just some minor tweaks need to be made (on Fords end), and the ST would be stellar. I cannot wait for Ford to redesign the Focus in the coming years! I will definitely be reviewing one. Go, TheStraightPipes! 👊🏽 -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 📽

I was determined to buy a Forte5 because of all the features, but saw a Focus ST1 on the lost as well. Right after driving it I bought it. Less features, but such a better driving experience. The Forte 5 just felt bland and boring after the ST.

Awesome review !! I TOTALLY agree I HATE the volume on the right in my mustang too !!!! Reason being is I typically cruise and hold the wheel with my left hand.. and the right is for shifting. If you can move your right had from the shifter to the wheel... its just as far as touching the head unit /facepalm.

I'm 5'7", 155 lbs. The seats *do* fit perfectly if you've got a "tiny butt," lol. I love the Recaros. Your hand is right next to the main volume knob when you shift so it never occurred to me to use the controls on the steering wheel. Lack of space for my phone is the primary interior headache. With the factory Pirelli P Zeros it's an awesome winter car. Heated seats, heated mirrors, heated steering wheel and the Pirelli's come as close as you can get to a true all season tire. Also, it really does warm up quickly inside the car compared to other cars I've owned. Totally satisfied with the Focus ST and it's a pity Ford is dropping the Focus altogether in the US.

I think the rear seats do fold all the way flat, you have to pull up on that bottom seat part too, then lay the back of the seat down. That's how my focus titanium is anyway.

Watched this review a year ago right before I bought my ST. Turns out you completely don’t notice the torque steer after a week of driving it. Until just now watching this again I completely forgot all about it.

@TheStraightPipes after this quarantine lockdown. Please redo this review with a used ST versus GTI and STI. Now that these cars are discontinued and are a bit of a bargain on the used market.

As the matter of fact, the UK models have blind spot sensors as well. Also the pre-facelift model has rear view camera which isn't available in the US in the PFL. Idk if there is "active city stop" in therenas well but it all is available in the UK model ;)

Some people buy the RS rear wing. Lowering springs would do it and check out fifteen52 for wheels. Or, you can get RS wheels too

Love mine, plenty of power, upgrade the motor mount for $60 and you have a fast car. I will walk on any of the V6's, other than the STI's no other 4 is even in the same class as the ST. Also Hondas Is Top speed is 128, in CA freeway speeds are 80mph passing at 90mph and at that speed you can hit 130 fast. I was passing an SI that was all raced out, When I shifted to 6th, I was Gone, hit 155 so fast! These cars for what they are are incredible, I do have Bilstein shocks also, which are nice for speed stability but I would hit 140 all the time when I lived in Virginia. Would go faster but country roads do have turns

I really like a manual transmission that has a clutch that presses in deep rather than one that easily hits the floor because there is much better control in between gears

Sorry Jacob, it's not an artificial sound, it's called a Sound Simposer pumps sound straight from the engine into the cabine. If it were a artificial it would pump straight into the speaker system with no engine connection at all to the cabine....

When you said the one thing that bothers you the most was the steering wheel buttons. I told my brothers the same thing when I got mine. Apparently there is a device you can install that will let you reprogram the buttons so you can have the radio on the left. The only thing I would change on the car if I could would be that.
