FocusCanada Forums

nice car, hope it comes here but yeah - I wouldn't buy one.

I love the feista st but i would much rather have a fiat 500 abarth or a citroen ds3 racing. ( they were both on the new topgear yesterday , but i wanted them long before that) I just wish they would make an AWD focus st or fiesta st.

AWD Fiesta ST would be > FWD Focus ST. Sadly, Ford refuses to "pull back" AWD tech from Volvo or put it to use on their shared platforms. They'd likely kick Subaru square in the ass in Canada. Subbies are rather popular due to their AWD and somewhat economical nature.

Keep in mind Ford doesn't own Volvo anymore...

If you can bring a cheap fun to drive awd hatch to the market you would kick alot of people in the ass.

if the interior is anything like the focus was, then I'd barely fit in it lol

i also think the tires look kinda dinky... like its running on donuts or something. I feel like they belong on a mini or something.

Sorry to you Ford guys out there... but thumbs down on the new gen of Fords...

The interior is actually nearly as big as the mk1 focus... and the mk3 foci interiors are much roomier than the older ones.

I didn't have too much issue with the interior space of the Fiesta when i was in Italy. I'd be rubbing elbows with any guy that sat in the front seat, but wasn't horrible.

My only complaint is the oddly vague feeling of the electric power steering on first turn-in. It sometimes takes the car a quarter second to remember the steering wheel is connected to the front wheels.

I'm rather impressed with the current gen of Fords. They all look pretty sharp (though, I'd argue the escape and explorer need an update), and the performance is impressive too. I'd rather a focus ST over the fiesta ST....

It's nice to know that you don't have to rely on being a contortionist in the event of a minor collision.

Yup, the interior on the Mk.3 Focus is quite roomy. I was VERY impressed with the interior on the SEL hatch I drove. I still want to drive a SEL with a stick, tho.

Oscar, you're fucking banned.
