Base Versus Loaded: 2013 Ford Focus ST
It’s been a darn good year for the auto enthusiast. We’ve seen the launch of an
all-new BMW 3-Series, the hugely anticipated
Scion FR-S, a worked-over
Hyundai Genesis Coupe, and a bevy of other new performance cars. One of the biggest names, that we’re stuck waiting on until the end of the year, is the all-new Ford Focus ST.
Boasting a 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder and a six-speed manual (the sole transmission option!), the ST is the spiritual successor to the old, American-market SVT Focus, not to mention all the hot Ford’s sold across the pond over the decades. With an out-the-door starting price of $24,495, it should also be plenty accessible to the average enthusiast.
We managed to max our ST out at just a shade over $30,000. Read on for the details.
