So jealous right now
We’re loving these shots of Top Gear mag’s road trip across the States (avoiding Interstates!) in a Focus ST— *this* is the way to see America.
The car isn’t important so much as the journey, but if one were to do this classic coast-to-coast trip in any car, we imagine the newest king of the hot hatch mountain makes as fine a choice as any.
An aside: did Ford issue press vehicles in only this mustard yellow?

Ford loves their “Tangerine Scream,” to be sure.

I live in the middle of Brooklyn now without a car (and I would not want to deal with one here). I love reading this stuff. I have enjoyed my time thus far, but stuff like this makes me want to pack up and move.

I hear you. It is possible to own a car in the city, but not particularly cheap, nor pleasant, nor enjoyable. It is a trade-off.

not that fast, not a great handler, awful gearbox, less than the sum of its parts.
golf gti has nothing to worry about 😉

Ah, but yours is not exactly an objective viewpoint, wm 😉
