Great

* That trademark orange paintwork. Why not just go for it?
* So comfortable – seats are great and the ride isn't boneshaking
* The power and noise of that fantastic engine. Vroooom!

Gripes

* Obviously thirstier on petrol than a less powerful Focus
* We'd like to see stability control across the range
* Insurance quote might come as a shock

God, it's fantastic. Prepare to volunteer for every possible run to the shops/airport drop-off/kids' taxi service going
ReliabilityReliability rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Seems top notch quality in the cabin and Ford are to be turted with their general standards of reliability and customer service
InsideInside rating - 4 out of 5 stars
You're cocooned in a lovely racey world of fast driving. There's even a special pipe to bring that engine noise inside if you want
SpaceSpace rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Just the same as any other Focus, so you're getting major practicality with your sportiness
SafetySafety rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Front and side airbags and anti lock brakes, but the standard ST does not have stability control
Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 4 out of 5 stars
From MP3 connection to heated front windscreen to sporty Recaro seats, there's a generous level of equipment here
