2013 Ford Focus ST Long-Term Road Test


This car could be capable of better fuel economy but it's just too much fun to drive.

However, we've seen that this model doesn't really work in heavier vehicles like the Explorer with the 2L turbo. When the vehicle is too heavy for the engine to accelerate without digging deep into the turbo you end up using the turbo all the time (even for moderate acceleration) and burning as much or more fuel as a larger engine would.
