My last 3 cars were E46 M3, 535 bi turbo and Merc CLK. I currently run a stock 2009 Focus ST and can honestly say it's the best all rounder i've ever had. Interior's a bit basic but the Recaros are incredibly comfortable and the performance is great. Think there will be an increase in people putting an end to their badge snobbery and moving away from BMW Audi etc.. partly because they just aren't exclusive anymore and partly because of the high prices. I'd recommend a top end Ford to anyone.

Thanx for your great comment.I love the focus st and rs since they were made,but havent got any money to buy one. Today i'm 46 years old and i just buy an ST since 3 weeks and like you said,those cars are better than audi,bmw,etc...for the price! This car make me happy each day! I'm like a teen just discovered pleasure to drive! I love FORD forever!

Not that yanks cant drive its the fact that our traffic system isnt on the same scale as yours. Over here were about high horse power straight line racing. I hope they do bring a production model of atleast the ST to Canada at the least. I own a sport compact that puts 350whp, but id rather drive something that comes straight from factory with numbers that are impressive. Needless to say i'd drivea ST over my 06 SS LSJ cobalt Turbo'd.

@ckeith1987 The Focus RS 500 and the standart RS are not AWD... And even if you did get a cossie or the turbo 5 cylinder volvo engine, you'd still have to install better suspension, better brakes, that clever front diff', but it won't be a RS and it would certainly not drive like an RS anyway... If you want a reasonable fast ford buy an ST, still has 5 cylinders but no turbos, and it looks good to.

@jayrsuk ok but just saying we have high octane fuel at stations here, 112 is only costing 9.99 a gallon (how much is 99 a liter over there?) America doesn't use huge engines to compensate for power, and when did a v12 become smaller than a v8?

@vapour80 Yeah I was surprised as we got the Euro Focus in sedan trims and ST model since MY2007. I got myself a 2009 but it wasn't a ST or RS, only a sedan with the Sport package and I heard about the Focus RS coming here but I never thought I'd be able to see one (only 100 per year were imported here from Germany) until I got my car to the dealership for routine maintenance. A great machine
