More exotic than your Hyundai i30, Kia Cerato, or Toyota Corolla. "

My Focus ST is an excellent compromise between being a practical and comfortable car for weekly duties, while being a pleasure to carve some corners with over the weekends.

Cameron M purchased this Ford Focus used for $5500 (including all on-road costs) in 2021.
