Ford Focus ST Comparison Test against Golf GTI in the U.S.

Ford Focus ST Comparison: In the U.S., the new Focus ST 2013er with the 2012 GTI has been compared. The market offers other alternatives in this segment, but so far there is only one undisputed crown support, the Golf GTI. Who makes a new car in the sporty compact class to the wheels must be measured precisely in this king. Ford tried it now with the Focus ST. The ST was in almost all areas offer better and won in the end clearly that comparison. That is surely not only in the dream-drive unit. The new 2.0-liter EcoBoost (250 hp) delivers in all situations better performance than the somewhat dated 2.0-liter VW. Better the features of the ST. We want only the best Recaro sport seats and much better navigation / entertainment system, call in addition to a whole bunch of features.

No question the 2012er GTI is no longer at the height of the time, the seventh generation of the GTI is in the starting blocks. It is difficult to say whether the new values are then sufficient wear again in the future to the crown in this car segment. Today, however, and that's a fact, it contributes to the Ford Focus ST. In almost all areas tested the new ST is simply better. He is the more modern, more efficient car. The future will show whether the projection of the ST-rich will keep the crown permanently.
