FORD has - undoubtedly improved the Focus ST in • virtually every ,. regard, this latest. 2.0-litre turbo ' 2

more pace and : better efficiency, ■ but is this a car :


- the British public will draw to their hearts like the last ; .


:one? Overtoyou. Peak power has :


been raised from theoldST’s 222bhp figure to . a rather beefier 247bhp. You’l l ; ■ ■

probably expect the torque from a 2.0-litre turbo four to be inferior to


that of a 25-litre

■inevitably translate into better ' performance, and the latest ST will 'launch to’dOmph in under six seconds. What’s perhaps


more interesting than the raw


figures is the work that’s gone into


making this four- cylinder engine sound just as


. exciting as the old five-pot lump. ; A significant


part of this jirocess is the reworking of the


sound symposer ; -anamplifier • -' that pipes engine sounds into the ; cabin-first found on the previous Focus ST, and subsequently employed to devastating effect on the previous generation European Focus RS models. The exhaust


system, with centre exit tailpipes, . has been tuned


to deliver a racy tone when you’re pressing on, but revert to an unobtrusive burble at cruising revs. A six-speed


manual gearbox is the only transmission choice.

: • power assisted ': : steering is mated • to a torque steer


.compensation (TSC) system, which will come as a relief to anybody whose last memoiy ofa fast Focus was an early RS.


. More aggressive tuning of the TSC allows Focus . ST drivers to accelerate at full


throttle, and yet still find grip on roads with uneven surfaces, or uneven levels of grip. • Further enhancements have been made to the ST’s electronic stability programme (ESP), with emphasis . . put on driver enjojment. ’ Drivers will

:,tp the usual Focus standards, with


"access to the rear eased by those hideaway rear doors. That the latest


. Ford Focus ST is a better car than its predecessor is


.beyond debate. It’s faster, safer, better equipped, lighter on its feet, and won’t bankrupt you if you drive it hard. And yet, the old


car had something intangible that endeared it to all who drove it. Character is so often a byword


, for flaws, and if that’s the case, the ST was eventually sunk by the weight j of its character. It’s pointless


to wistfully gaze < through rose- tinted spectacles,

though. Ford’s progress is unrelenting, and if its track record . | is anything to go ' by, we’ll soon take ^ this new Focus ST £ to our hearts and ^ forget about the old car. - N . •
