My brother purchased a trade-in Focus ST really cheap while He was waiting for his company car. It was horribly uninspiring to drive.

When he got his company car (first a Ford Ranger that had uncomfortable seats, then a Ford Mustang that also had uncomfortable seats, until finally a Focus RS, which didn’t hurt his back, but were so comfortable that he couldn’t get out of them), he gave the ST it to his Wife. She said “I don’t know why anyone would have purchased this car new. Unless they didn’t take it for a test drive and and just assumed it would be as good as the RS”.

For a few months they had two cars, the fastest Focus that ever existed and the slowest Focus that ever existed.
