Ford Focus St-Line X – The Best Car Ford Has Ever Made?
Introducing The Ford Focus St-Line X
The Ford Focus has always been a phenomenal car and we now have the newly updated version available for car hire from our head office in Wigan. If you’ve passed us by, you may well have caught a look at the very best version of this impressive medium hatchback, the Ford Focus St-Line X parked outside. The Ford Focus is the spiritual successor of the all conquering Ford Escort, which some of us are old enough to remember. The concept of the old escort was simple. A medium size family car that was inexpensive, well equipped, yet reliable and a joy to drive. Ford absolutely nailed this and the Escort and was in production for decades, regularly updated as time ent by and enjoying massive success in terms of sales. In all of it’s guises, the Escort has gained something of a cult status amongst enthusiasts. The Ford Focus, which replaced the Escort n the late 90’s had a lot to live up to, but live up to the legendary Escort it has. It might seem a little ordinary now, but when it was introduced, the design of the Focus was a very bold and even risky bit of design, looking very different to everything else on the road at the time. A reasonably priced medium sized family hatchback which was still capable of turning heads, was only part of what made the Focus an instant success. The driving dynamics were every bit a match for those good looks and needless to say, they’ve been flying off forecourts ever since, being the standard by which all other cars in its class are judged. Truly a worthy successor to the Ford Escort. Sometimes it’s worth looking back at history to be able to understand the present a little better. The Old Escort was arguably the best car of its day, the Focus succeeded it and could be said to have exceeded it, so when Ford themselves are reported to have said that the Ford Focus ST-Line X is the best car they’ve ever made, knowing the company’s past is essential to understanding the true impact of that statement. So, IS the Ford Focus ST-Line X really that good? In a word, yes, yes it is. 
What Makes The Ford Focus ST-Line X So Special?
Let’s be clear, the Ford Focus, no matter what the numeral after the word ‘Mark’ is a very good car, the 2020 Focus especially so. Combining that tried and trusted Ford formula, of making well equipped, comfortable, affordable cars that are easy to live with and great to drive. The ST-Line X then is just the best version of a car that’s already at the top of its game. At this point, it’s probably worth mentioning that, yes, we’re aware that there’s an ‘ST’ version – a snarling, full blooded wonder of engineering. Yes, the ST is an absolute hoot, yes it feels like driving a jet engine with wheels, sounds like thunder and corners like it’s stuck to the road, BUT, it’s the ST-Line that’s the better car. We hear the petrolheads amongst asking “Why?” so here it is. The Ford Focus ST-Line X takes the latest version of the Focus, packs is full of the best selection of equipment and successfully gives you the look of the ST, as well as hints of additional performance which, while being enough to make your smile a little wider, doesn’t make you frown when it comes to paying the bills. As many will no doubt agree, a performance car is a compromise. The price you pay for cornering on rails is a ride that rattles your teeth. The price you pay for face melting acceleration is paid quite literally at the fuel pump and even more-so when you renew your insurance. This then, is the genius of the Ford Focus ST-Line X. It has a suspension set up that gives you confidence but never at the expense of driving comfort. It gives you a turn of speed that you’ll appreciate around the town or on the motorway and despite that, can still return over 50mpg. All this finished with big wheels, brightly coloured brake callipers and a sporty body kit. The story inside is just as pleasing. Ford’s are typically well equipped in any case, but the technology in the new Focus ST-Line X is particularly impressive. Most modern Fords have the big, sharp and well organised touchscreen incorporating the impressive Sync 3 system. There are numerous little flourishes, from extra shiny materials to contrast stitching which mark out the already comfortable cabin out as something a little beyond the standard spec’. One of the newer features of the new Focus is the FordPass system. Many cars these days allow you to connect your phone to your car while you’re in it, but FordPass takes this a step further. Imagine opening a phone app and checking your vehicle status while sat in your office, or locating it in a car park, or even getting a push notification to let you know you need to pump up your tyres. Exactly the sort of features you might normally only to expect to find on something far more pricey from Germany.
