I'm in the market for a new car. I'd like to hear from the Focus ST owners out there.. what are the biggest problems with your cars? I'm considering 2013-2014, don't care too much for the looks of the 2015+
how's the MyFord Touch? any factory recalls? is it truly unbearable? do you ever want anything more out of your car? this would be my first stick-shift car, and the first "quick" thing i've owned. i've also been looking at a WRX of the same model year, but am cautious about the boxer layout. I feel like the ford would be a good car to start working/learning on.
currently driving a 2001 ford taurus. i know basic things such as oil change, brake change, tire rotation, plug change. let's hear it boys, and please post pics of your cars!!

Mines a '16 but I'll answer your questions. Sync2 is garbage. My dad's mks has it and it's a chore to use. Sync 3 is awesome though. Only recall that I'm aware of was for the hatch being able to open at low speeds. Unbearable? Not sure what you mean. I wish it came with the mp275 kit from the factory and that the interior was a bit less boring. All and all it's a fun car that's easy to drive hard.

>unbearable i was mainly talking about myford touch. i've read terrible reviews on it but that was really when the car was brand new. i figured by 2014 ford would at least released some patch updates or something to make it less awful.
was the ST3 the only focus that came with myford touch?

keep driving the taurus until you can buy something other than a shitty economy car.

i've owned the taurus for 6 years, it's miserable to drive and is getting old. what would you suggest instead of an ST?

Owner reporting in.
The sync doesnt have a way to connect to hidden WiFi networks like my home 5ghz.
I get random 1/4 -1/2 seconds skips in songs while using bluetooth. Dealership says its my phone, Ive tried it with 3 different phones. Also the bass maxes out at a relatively low level due to some hearing conservation thing. A dealer can unlock it but most dealers dont know how.
The recarro seats are too deep for anyone but a perfect mannequin. Slightly larger people get squished and thin people fall into them. Also the seats are kinda stiff, not very comfy for long drives.

A shitty economy car is the Fiesta. The Focus is actually a good deal.
Nathaniel Rogers
oh piss off the FiST is light years ahead of the FoST. Unless youre talking about none ST versions then you are 100% correct.
Evan Rivera
The Fiesta ST is actually a much better sports car than the Focus ST. Pretty funny.
Noah Jackson
Light is the key word... Check out how much important metal was removed and how many more plastic parts are on the Fiestas. Fiestas "meet safety standards". They are essentialy the same car but Ford cuts corners on the Fiesta to make it more affordable.
