I drove 1 last week , they,ve done fantastic job of making torque steer hardly noticeable for the amount of power going thro front wheels,sounds lovely ,a bit dissapionted with interior,seats superb but the rest is all ST stuff,i was impressed how it handled even in the rain,very torquey engine just pulls and pulls ,but not neck snapping quick like my escort cos.

I just drove one today. Drove it back to back with an evo X RS with 400 bhp aswell. Was very impressed with the Focus. There is no doubt its FWD. Overtaking a load of cars on bypass and you have to noticably hold on to the steering whell more when you boot it. Lovely interior and while not being as fast as the evo doesnt hang about by any means
