2020 Ford Focus ST review

Australia punches above its weight when it comes to performance cars. We have among the highest per-capita sales of AMG Mercedes, M Power BMWs, and RS and GT Porsches in the world. It’s the same with hot hatches. While small cars have been overtaken by SUVs, pint-size vehicles with plenty of performance have increased in popularity. The figures sound small – growing from 1.6 per cent to two per cent of the market over the past five years – but it’s all relative.
