The SYNC system, the topic of much debate and discussion across automotive journalists, was pretty decent. I would comfortably say that 2 adults could sit back there just fine. There were no injuries or serious arguments. I reguarly had 3 kids, one in a large (Recaro) car seat back there in relative comfort. I can sit behind my own seating position and still have legroom. If you want a more reasonably sized car, get the Focus. Someone said something about the Fiesta ST making the FoST redundant the other day, I totally disagree. The rear seats are generous for such a small car. I am 6’0, 190’ish and if you are much larger than that, I would consider the option list very carefully before ticking off the ST2 box.
The Recaro seats are spectacular, if a bit claustrophobic. It’s not a bad place to be, and I’d say that, just in commuting time I spent at least 360 hours in the FoST. Yours was the base model, low options, no 6spd or turbocharger. Someone once told me “Oh I had one of those as a rental car once”. The fact that it was able to be compared to an E46 M3 and be competitive says a lot for the Ford Motor Company as well as how far cars have progressed over a decade.Īs we stated during one of the long-term updates, the interior is markedly better than a normal Focus. From the beginning we found the ST to be a lot of fun.

Look Ma, I’m on the TeeVee! Bad included potholes large enough to make SUVs weave around them, winter weather, and just a general malaise that fell over me in stop and go traffic with a manual transmission and tight bucket seats.īut it was more good than bad. It included killing some cones and filming some feature video content.

Good included warm temps with the moonroof open and the windows down, the sound of the 2.0 EcoBoost wailing from the centrally mounted dual exhaust. So how was it to live with a “FoST” as the kids are calling it? I commuted through the harsh DC streets through good times and bad. But there is only so much room and it’s making way for something new. Arriving in April 2014, she proved to be a great long-term test car over the past 9 months. The 2014 RFD Focus ST has departed our garage. See what I did there.with the play on…sorry. Right now I’m suffering from a lack of Focus.
