Ford Focus ST, Europe’s top selling hot hatch
The first time I saw the Ford Focus ST in flesh was during a Ford
roadshow held in Mid Valley mega mall sometime last year. It looks great,
donned in an orange finish with a really sporty-rally look. Further popularized
by Ken Block, the Ford Focus ST fits the image of a road-use, practical sports
car.
It is no wonder that Ford Focus ST sold 1,984 units alone from October to
December 2012, outselling competitors like VW Golf GTI and the Renault Megane
Sport.
