Ford Focus ST Review

Used Value3 out of 5

If you're planning to plough your own money into an ST, you'll be glad to hear it doesn't share the mediocre residuals the rest of the Focus range is cursed with.

After the average three years and 30,000 miles, the hot Focus retains more than half of its value, almost matching the same performance as the Golf GTI's 52% benchmark: however, it's worth noting that both are some way off the incredible 57% a Civic Type-R maintains.
