2013 Ford Focus ST consumer reviews

Torquey, pretty, handles like a dream. Can carry a decent amount of cargo, especially once you figure out how to fold the rear bench all the way, fully down. The front seats are very bolstered and are a hit with some people but rather uncomfortable for others. Clutch is forgiving enough to learn on, but grippy enough to handle your parking lot, tire spinning shenanigans. 9/10, would buy again.

Great styling and great pickup. It's fun just to take a ride to the grocery store. Pretty roomy considering the race styling seating and that's a plus.

I am a long time Ford owner with over 13 purchased. This car has serious issues and I would be very careful and run full diagnostics on one before purchasing.

I haven't had the car long enough to really give it a fair rating, but so far I like it very much. I'd like it more if I wasn't ripped off by the dealership Pye Kia of Dalton Georgia.

Out of the many cars I have owned over the years, the Focus ST was one of the most fun to drive (I love hot hatches and sports cars). Light and quick - this car loves to carve a corner. The Recaro seats are supportive and comfortable in both short and long trips and the hatch back provides plenty of practicality. The car has been very reliable and has experienced no mechanical issues other then expected wear and tear items. I will miss it!

This car has it all. Braking,acceleration,handling and fuel mileage. Plus plenty of room for passengers and their stuff. I really enjoyed this car. Great car for road trips if you can deal with the Recaro racing seats.

Tangerine scream fully optioned with everything a person could get on this car down to the carbon fiber trim. I picked up the 2015 one owner easily. I’d have kept her forever but my 6-7 framed body with its size 15 foot got stuck between the accelerator pedal and the brake, a very big flaw in design that I intended to correct. There must have been 2 inches or more distance in pedal height. I couldn’t stop the car so I threw my whip into a parking lot to avoid a collision and drove through a chain link fence. The front cover was ripped to pieces but that was it. I put in reverse and let idle while I processed the horror not knowing that the oil system was now compromised with zero oil pressure. Car was done. Damages exceeded 70% of the value so letting it go was the only sane option. You don’t want a salvage title after all. Be careful and install the accel spacer kit if you,re like me.

This is car that is everything you want a car to be. Super fun to drive, reliable and comfortable. Quick is an understatement, perfect for AutoX and track days.

Everything about this car was great for me. I have owned and driven over 30 different cars and this one definitely stood out. Comfort - Extremely comfortable for me with the bucket seats up front, although stiffer than most regular seats, thats how I like it and the back seats are softer than bmw's, maserati's, audi's or any of the luxury brands ive been in. All of my controls/shift knob, cupholders are in exactly the right spot as well. Performance - For a 20k dollar car the performance is awesome and spirited. Love how it drives, and although I prefer stiffer suspensions, it is stiff enough to feel secure while being soft enough to not bother people over bumps. The shift is easy, the clutch has decent weight, everything is just right for me. Reliability - Over 5 years and there have been no maintenance issues with this car. Absolutely the most reliable car I have had to date.

So far, my 2013 Ford Focus st has met me expectations. It is nice. The transmission shifts smoothly and the shift light seems to be pretty accurate unlike most cars. This is a quick car. It?s going to be faster than most, but not faster than all. It?s a happy medium between a family car and a performance car.
