2005 Ford Focus ZX4 ST Road Test

The Ford Focus made its way to North America in 1999 as a 2000 model, after having graced the streets of Europe for quite a bit longer. Unlike the domestic-made Escort that preceded it, the Focus has also made its way into the hearts of auto enthusiasts due to its sporty handling and offbeat yet alluring styling. After a rocky beginning of recall after recall, Ford's smallest entry has become a paragon of reliability.
