Ford Focus ST Mountune review - AutoExpress

The fact that it doesn’t affect your warranty is a huge draw, but unlike the smaller Fiesta ST with Mountune’s performance pack, the Focus’ chassis isn’t of the same high quality – although that’s to do with the base product rather than Mountune’s... If you want to make your Focus ST faster and more focused, look no further. However, with a significant amount more torque coming in much lower in the rev range, when the Mountune’s turbo gets going it delivers a great dollop of drive to the front wheels – resulting in some rather unruly torque steer. Just like the regular Focus ST , the steering is sharp and the suspension firm, so although the uncompromised ride can seem on the hard side at times, when you want to drive this Ford fast, it stands up well to the punishment. Mountune’s big bodykit and decal pack is optional, so you can keep your ST looking a little more stealthy and understated if you don’t like the look of our test car. In contrast to the exterior, only some discreet badging inside hints that you’re in a Mountune ST – the Focus’ basic recipe is the same, which means some extra dials on top of the dash and a pair of Recaro bucket seats.
